A trip to the Eternal City is truly a step back in time to see the architectural and sculptural masterpieces built when Rome was the center of an Empire and all roads led to Rome. The seven hills of Rome still reflect this ancient grandeur and present plenty to be explored with the many temples, basilicas, churches, palazzi, piazzi, parks, museums and fountains that cover them.

For the best view of Rome go to the Villa Gardens on top of Janiculum Hill, which offers lucious views of Rome as well as the chance to rest in the park among monuments and fountains. From there, you can travel to the best known sights in Rome. Walking through Rome is like passing through nearly 3,000 years of history displayed before you in the form of ancient ruins, Roman pillars, 16th century palaces and new futuristic buildings. Among this mix of buildings and ruins, the Pantheon, The Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica stand out above the rest as the best representations of Rome's architectural grandeur and the biggest tourist spots.
