Rome

The Colosseum
Every Street in Rome seems to hold thousands of years of history in its very stones. The Eternal City, where emperors once walked triumphantly, is an amazing experiences in the truest sense of the word. It is a modern city that displays its glorious past with pride and exudes an unforgettable beauty, dynamic contrast and appreciation for life.
Whichever way you turn, you’re destined to see something that will have your breathless. You can almost picture the gladiator fights of 2,000 years ago in the magnificent Coliseum. Caesar’s orations still echo from the ruins of the Roman Forum. The splendid Pantheon will impress you with its perfectly-preserved aura of hushed awe. When visiting the lovely Spanish Steps, a master piece of Baroque design, you’ll see why Rome fills the imaginations of so many admirers. Nestled between the palaces of the historic centers lies the awe-inspiring Trevi Fountain, a magnificent jewel of water and stone where travelers join in the curious tradition of tossing coins over their shoulders with hopes of returning to Rome again one day. Exploring the Vatican is another journey unto itself. From the inspiring Sistine Chapel to Michelangelo’s stirring Pieta and the majesty of St. Peter’s Basilica, you’ll leave this place of brilliance with a special appreciation for the wonders of great artistic creation. One surely cannot deny the irresistible charm Rome offers to both tourists and local alike.
