Something for everyone in the Eternal City
Few countries hold as much romance for travellers as Italy. It boasts a beautiful, diverse landscape, legendary art, succulent cuisine and an epic history of friends, Romans and countrymen. Italy has something for everyone; foodies find joy in the delicious pasta, stimulating wine, and famous gelato, while romantics walk the streets of Rome and history buffs marvel at the Forum and famous galleries. This trip will take you to the centre of classic civilization in Rome that has been a fascinating destination for centuries.

Walk in the footsteps of Julius Caesar
There is a limitless list of things to uncover in the Eternal City. Make a voyage up the Spanish steps or reach out to your inner superstitions as you toss a shimmering euro into the beautiful Trevi Fountain. Gingerly run your hand over the ornate golden and rose decor that graces the interior of the world’s largest Christian church at St. Peter's Basilica, and be humbled as you admire the inscriptions that loom overhead. As you wander the historic streets on your half day guided tour, and on your own time, imagine the chariots that raced through the Roman Forum, feel the energy of the ancient crowds surge past you at the epic Coliseum and walk through the historic Capitol as Julius Caesar did in his time.

Stay in the heart of the action
During your sojourn in Rome you'll be accommodated at the 4-star Nova Domus Hotel - ten minutes from St Peter's Basilica and the gardens of Vatican City (and close to a metro station). This proximity gives you plenty of time to explore the Vatican and the famous Sistine Chapel, and to wander the epic collection of ancient and Renaissance art at the Vatican Museums. Guests enjoy comfortable rooms with air conditioning, mini-bar, satellite TV and WiFi, and indulgence in available during happy hour at the on-site bar.

Dine on scrumptious selections
Your package includes daily breakfast, and for other meals make sure to branch out and sample as much of Italy's famous wine and cuisine as possible. Delicious pastries are proffered in shops and bakeries while thin crust pizza makes the perfect pairing to a glass of wine at a quaint roadside cafe. Scour the 53,000 wine selection and fresh Mediterranean cuisine at La Pergola, or head across the Tiber River to dine on fresh hand rolled pasta at Il Convivio Troiani.
