Rome is probably the most fascinating city in Italy - which arguably makes it the most fascinating city in
the world. An ancient place packed with the relics of over two thousand years of inhabitation, you
could spend months here and still only scratch the surface. Yet it is so much more than an open-air
museum: its culture, its food, and its people make up a modern, vibrant city that would be worthy of
a visit irrespective of its past. As a historic place, it is special enough; as a contemporary European
capital, it is utterly unique.
