Holidays in Rome offer almost unrivalled sightseeing around ancient history, art and architecture. Rome is also the focus for the Roman Catholic faith, centred on the Vatican. Rome buzzes with modern style, designer shops and a year-round nightlife - all set against this fabulously rich backdrop that the locals seem to just take for granted. The key to the city’s allure is to walk as much as possible and allow yourself the time and opportunity to stumble across things by accident. You won’t enjoy Rome to the full if all you do is try to tick off its very many famous sites. So try not to march round on a predetermined route. Rome is evenly placed in the region of Lazio between Italy’s sophisticated north and rural south and can be a great starting point or end to a holiday in other areas of Italy.
