While the oval shape of Piazza Navona, which houses the magnificent Four River Fountain, is a clue to its Stadium of Domitian heritage from 86 AD were gladiators fought and athletes competed. The Spanish Steps, the home of John Keats, were built in 1723-1725 and are another of those must-see places – a place to sit and people watch artists, poets and painters.The best place to stay is in the centre of Rome close the train terminus which puts you within walking distance of many of the major attractions. Walking is the best option to enable you to unearth some unexpected sights, memorable moments and great photo opportunities.

Perhaps the warm aroma of a bakery and the handmade leather of a local craftsman. Seek out that tucked away piazza stuck in the 16th century criss-crossed with washing lines and adorned with colourful window boxesRome The Eternal City – so called because the Roman Empire thought that no matter what happened to the world, no matter how many other empires may rise and fall, Rome would go on forever. Rome is the accumulation of knowledge, art and war for innumerable generations.

Rome Was Not Built In A Day – dates back to the 12th Century referring to the fact that the development of Rome was slow and steady. That many centuries were required to make it the chief city of the world and that great things are not achieved without great patience and effort.
