Do you bear a passion for history? Are you
interested in ancient architecture and temples? Do age-long and
legendary activities beckon you? If so, then you must definitely
explore the ancient lands of Rome, at least once in your lifetime.
With an area of about 150 square kilometers, and a
population of 3.8 million, Rome still stands tall in the vast field of
world history. Whenever we come across Rome, Etruscan tombs, Republican
meeting rooms, Imperial temples, ancient Christian churches, medieval
bell towers, Renaissance palaces, and Baroque basilicas strike the core
of our mind and we enter the superficial world of history and
architecture. Rome takes us through the pages of history.
Rome is situated halfway down Italy's western
coast, about 20 kilometers inland. Rome is a large city, though the
historical area is quite small. A majority of the Rome historical
sights are restricted within a reasonable distance of the central
railway station, Stazione Termini. All the main Rome monuments are
situated west of the train station in Rome. However, it is always
advisable to use the map of Rome, once you arrive in Rome.
Attractions
The central attractions of Rome are the Palatine
Hill and the Forum. Via Del Corso is located north from the Forum to
Piazza Del Popolo, accompanied by Spanish steps and the Trevi Fountain
on the east. The Vatican in Rome is situated northwest of the Forum,
across the River Tiber in Rome.
Rome offers a great deal of pleasure with the
likes of the arrogance of the Vatican, the immemorial haunting memories
of the Coliseum or the sheer thrill of going back to centuries ago of
timeless history.
Rome offers you a wide range of excitement,
adventure, and enjoyment. The thrill and sheer experience of Rome is
very distinctive and unique. Rome gives you the liberty to thrive on
wine, architecture, history, and sunshine.
Rome - truly a place to
remember.
