ABOUT THE CITY
Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy. Known as the ‘Eternal City’, Rome is one of the world’s most visited tourist destination. Its historic capital centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with famous landmarks, grand palaces, ancient churches, ruins, statues and fountains. Rome is also recognised as one of the fashion capitals of the world, with a growing nightlife scene.
