A fool is one who admires other cities without visiting Rome.
-Francesco Petrarca

There is nowhere in the world quite like Rome. Between the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish steps and more, there are enough sites to keep you busy for days. But there’s so much more to the eternal city than site seeing. Sometimes it takes a number of visits to the capital for people to really appreciate Rome for everything it has to offer.
