Rome - The eternal city is calling you...


There are numerous options when it comes to city breaks in Rome, whether you are planning a group holiday, stag do or hen party, a package deal or a wonderfully romantic honeymoon, city breaks in Rome provide the most unforgettable vacation experience and will leave you wanting to return time and time again. The first thing you will notice when embarking on one of the fantastic city breaks in Rome is the incredible architecture that graces this beautiful city. You'll find it interesting in spending some time to discover some of the superb Roman gems that this city is so famous for. The large and very attractive Colosseum was made in 72 AD and, although it's structure is one of almost delicate charm, this imposing piece of architecture was truly built for a great deal more sinister motives. Here the Romans would have enjoyed some very brutal and deadly blood sports involving both animals and men. Around 50,000 blood thirsty spectators could have been seated in this large building and would have entered through one of the 80 ornate archways. An absolute must see whilst enjoying one of the superb city breaks in Rome.

Nothing was ever done on a small scale. It is also certainly worth paying a visit to the Vatican City, actually a city in its own right and home to the pope. Here you will discover the amazing St.Peter's Basilica. This great, domed building houses 45 alters where a plethora of very precious religious art is displayed, the basilica also comes with 11 chapels, a spectacular architectural feat and well worth a good look whilst taking pleasure in one of the great city breaks in Rome. Attached to the Vatican via secret passageway is the Castel Sant'Angelo. The passageway, known as the 'Passetto di Borgo' was once used by popes who were trying to find refuge from city invasions. The famous Vatican Museums are also located here and Michelangelo's breathtaking Sistine Chapel. Keep in mind these beautiful places while having fun in the beautiful eternal city of Rome.
