City life and landmarks
history & culture
Ancient and complex, the history of the city of Rome begins when different tribes formed an alliance around the 7th century BC. The city was founded on the Palatine Hill. After Etruscan rule, the Republic extended its dominion over Italy and the Mediterranean. Rome became the centre of the world and the most populous city, until the decline of the Empire, suffering many sackings. Thanks to the papacy, the Renaissance was a prosperous era for the city, and monuments flourished. In 1870, Italian unification made Rome its capital. Visitors discover these buildings, witnesses to a long history.
things to do / to see
The surrounding hills are the natural heritage on which Rome was built. A place of rest in this urban world, the Pincio, reached from the Piazza del Popolo, is a pleasant walk, with its fountains and its obelisk. Historic sites and religious buildings abound in Rome: Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, St Peter's Basilica, Basilica of St John Lateran, Piazza Navona… After a football match at the Stadio Olimpico, discovering Italian cooking, in the trattorias or the pizzerias, is a must: fresh vegetables, cuts of meat and pecorino. The festivities are above all religious, but notably include the international film festival.
the city in practical terms
The city's main airport, Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiuminico, is south-west of the city centre. The Italian capital is also served by rail lines, long-distance bus routes and even ferries. For shopping, visitors can head to Piazza di Spagna, Via del Corso, Travtevere, Porta Porteseest, or Viale Marconi.
