The ancient Romans called Rome the Eternal City. They believed that no matter what happened, Rome would continue to flourish. While that may not be entirely true, it’s certainly a city with an eternal appeal, a pull to the senses. After all, how many cities can boast to have monuments that go back two millennia? The city that has the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica is no ordinary city.
Rome tourism allows visitors to become a part of the eternal city, even if it is for a few days. There’s much on offer here, for those taking a Rome tour. From beautiful old buildings, museums, galleries, parks and the many architectural ruins, you won’t be disappointed. What’s more, being in Rome means you’ll also be able to enjoy delicious food.
Rome is in central Italy and is found in the Lazio region on the Tiber. It is one of the only cities that has a country within its borders, the Vatican City. Rome is the capital of both Italy and the Vatican City, giving it a unique designation indeed. Rome has a Mediterranean climate, where summers are warm and dry, and winters are cool and humid. Snowfall is not common but not entirely unheard of, either.
Whether we’re considering ancient Rome or the city of today, it has played an important role in shaping the culture of the western civilisation. Rome has brought to us many, many different forms of art – priceless paintings, music, architecture to name a few. Rome was in fact the centre of the Renaissance. Rome tourism depends on the culture element heavily as it’s one of the primary draws for tourists to the city.
