Rome – the "Eternal City" "La dolce vita" and living history
Rome boasts a gigantic legacy spanning 2,500 years of history. Hardly a street exists that does not bear traces of past eras. Yet modernity has also made its mark on Rome, turning the city into Italy's political, economic and cultural centre. You will discover the world of antiquity, admire the heart of the Christian world in the Vatican and enjoy the Rome of today in the footsteps of Federico Fellini.
