More Info
No city in the world equals the history of the Eternal City. Founded 2700 years ago, Rome long reigned as Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World. Monumental buildings such as the Colosseum are reminiscent of the era when emperors like Nero and Trajan ruled the Roman Empire. But today's Rome owes much of its attractiveness to the Renaissance period when new squares such as the Piazza del Campidoglio were created and new buildings were constructed including the world's largest church, the Saint Peter's Basilica. Nothing is more exciting than visiting the ruins of the Italian Empire! The biggest attraction to visit is the Colosseum where you can see how battles and entertainment worked in older times! Along with the Coloseum you can visit the famous Trevi Fountains for good fortune and fun! Pack your bags because right now we have a great special on this exciting destinaton that is only on for 1 month!

Attractions
Centro Storico
This section of Rome is filled with a tangle of narrow streets, which offers some of the finest examples of Roman classical and Baroque architecture and style.
The Colosseum
The Colosseum in Rome is one of the world's best known sites from antiquity (for something built in 80 AD, the Colosseum is holding up very well). It was here that the Roman emperors liked to watch gladiators stage to-the-death battles as well as to hunt and kill wild animals.
The Pantheon
Dedicated to the seven planetary divinities and featuring an interior of gorgeous marble, the Pantheon is one of the most impressive monuments of Augustan Rome.
