Some say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The Romans live La Dolce Vita so you should do the same. Take a seat back and absorb the incredible art and culture that surrounds you, take a casual stroll around the quaint streets, dine alfresco or take a relaxing drive through the city in a luxury car rental- live the sweet life. Rome was founded in 753 BC, dating back to Roman mythology, and since has grown to become the beautiful city it is today, contrasting its classical ancient Greek and Roman architecture with the contemporary Italian. This ancient heritage adorns the city with breathtaking buildings, gardens, arches and bridges. When exploring the centre of Rome you will find hidden masterpieces without even trying, including surprise encounters with Michelangelo’s sculptures and Bernini’s fountains. It is no surprise that this magnificent city attracts millions of tourists every year. There are so many things to discover and so much to learn, so do not miss out and head on over.
Things to do
Dense with religious and cultural sites is the Vatican City, the state surrounded by Rome. Here, you will find the Sistine Chapel, home of the Pope, and the Vatican Museums. The museum displays some of the most prominent Renaissance masterpieces and renowned Roman sculptures, such as Raphael’s Transfiguration or Laocoön for example. Also, make sure to check out St.Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world and product of many great architects of the Renaissance. Take your luxury car rental for a lap around the Colosseum and live the experience in 360 degrees. Then zip over to the Arch of Constantine to marvel at the triumphal structure or to the Trevi Fountain to throw in a coin for good fortune. The fountain was designed by architect Nicola Salvi in 1732 but was completed by several others to produce the most beautiful fountain in the world. Although Rome is predominantly known for its incredible historical sites, its modern attractions are not to be ignored. Spend a day at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea or Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Romato to gaze at the city’s modern art.
