What to See and Do in Rome

Located in Vatican City, St. Peter’s Basilica stands as an architectural triumph of Renaissance design and one of the most revered sanctuaries in Christianity.

Vatican City is the smallest country in the world and one of the most visited places in Rome.

Rome is one of those cities where you can spend a week exploring and still feel like you have only scratched the surface.

Rome is much easier to explore when you plan your days by area instead of going back and forth across the city. Here’s what I would keep in mind when planning your first visit.

Rome is even more impressive when you see it from above. The city has several hills, terraces, and gardens where you can enjoy great views, including some that are completely free.

Rome has a huge number of museums, covering everything from ancient Roman history and archaeology to modern art.

Rome has several markets worth visiting, from traditional food markets to flea markets. Some are mainly for locals, while others are more tourist-oriented.
