Rome, Italy in two words, 'historic' and "art". A marvellous city is over 2,750 years old and this is why Rome is one of the most popular cities in the world. Simply full of history, Rome is "the history" with an incredible amount of spectacular ancient Roman monuments, including the Vatican City where lives the Pope, with a magnificient St. Peters Basilica, The Forum, from where the famous Julius Caesar once governed Rome, the Colosseum (photo) and the ruins of the Circus Maximus, where, if you use your imagination you can almost picture the 200,000 spectators cheering at gladiator fights and other barbaric sporting events. A famous movie "the gladiator" may gives the idea..
Rome also has a unimaginated number of museums displaying ancient artefacts and infinite art galleries, with world-famous paintings and sculptures by artists such as Raphael, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Pinturicchio and Bellini, to name but a few. There are lots of tourist information offices situated in Rome down town and these provide informations about Rome tourist attractions, museums, public transportation, local sights and general Rome tourism tips..
Rome enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate of mild winters and long hot summers.
Last years Rome has going through long, hot summers. While other Italian coastal cities gets relief from the heat via the mediterranea sea winds, Rome doesnt have such benefit. The lack of wind in Rome make the days seem hotter than they are, so if visiting in summer it is opportune to take part in tourist activities in the early morning or evenings.
Saying that, Rome really is a city that can be enjoyed all year round. The balmy nights create for a very pleasant atmosphere to sit on the terraces enjoying the italian, the best cuisine in the world. Winter dishes out its fair share of crisp winters days which can be enjoyed by wandering the streets of Rome without battling the throngs of summer tourists and harsh sun
