In Rome, you can drink from a street fountain fed by an ancient aqueduct. Or see the same profile on a statue in the Capitoline Museum and the guy making your cappuccino. (Which, of course, you know never to order after 11 am.) Rome is also a city of contrasts—what other place on earth could be home to both the Vatican and La Dolce Vita?
You can decide to follow the typical tourist paths or be brave enough to go off the beaten tracks. One way or the other, Rome will romance you, surprise you and leave you with wanting more! The Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, St Peter's Square, Spanish Steps, Colosseum and so much more. Spend your time sightseeing, or watching the world go by in a pretty outdoor cafe. Rome is a romantic place for honey-moon, favourite holiday destination, and city of fashion.
