Rome is the eternal city — and it earns the name. Nowhere else in the world packs so many layers of history into one place: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon (still intact after 2,000 years), Vatican City with the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps. But Rome isn't only a history lesson — it's a living city where locals argue passionately about the best cacio e pepe, where gelato shops compete for the title of world's best, and where a neighbourhood bar makes espresso with a level of casual mastery that takes years to achieve. Rome rewards wandering.
