Lazio is the centre of all that is Roman, the centre of the Italian political life and located in the centre of Italy. It’s an art capital, open air museum and boasts an uncountable number of masterpieces and ancient treasures. Medieval towns, thermal spas, remote monasteries, monuments, Roman and Etruscan civilization archaeological sites, vibrant people, delectable cuisine, fine wines, the city of Rome, palaces, the Vatican Republic and the Pope; are all reasons this region is one of the most popular destinations in the world.

Visit the historic towns of Terni, Viterbo and Rieti, the volcanic lake of Bolsena, Etruscan tombs of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, monasteries of Subiaco and ruins in Ostia Antica. Explore Tivoli; its spas, the majestic fountains, garden and palace of the Renaissance Villa D’Este and the former residence of Emperor Hadrian, Villa Adriana (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites). Drive through the verdant hills of the countryside, spend a day at the seaside in the province of Latina or take a boat trip to the island of Ponza or Ventotene. Hike around the promontory of  Circeo National Park or mountain trails of Redentore, Terminillo, Leonessa or Catillo. Walk through the ancient villages, villas, castles and ruins of Castelli Romani Regional Natural Park. Lazio has many wonderful roads which inevitably lead to Rome and they are all worth travelling.

The capital city of Rome is the heart and soul of Lazio. It offers not only unique artistic beauty in all of its marvellous forms but also cultural events, exhibits, concerts, festivals and some of the best shopping in the world. Made in Italy and other international brands can be found in the shopping areas of Via dei Condotti, Via Frattina, Via Borgognona and Via Margutta.

The magnificent architecture and layout of the city pleasurably overwhelms all those who walk its roads. Marvel at Piazza di Spagna and the famous Spanish steps of Trinità dei Monti, Piazza Navona with Bernini’s famous sculptural creation, Piazza S. Maria in Trastevere with its cathedral, Piazza del Campidoglio designed by Michelangelo and, of course, the late Baroque masterpiece that is La Fontana di Trevi (the Trevi Fountain). Enjoy the spectacular views from Villa Borghese. This beautiful city park is wonderful for a leisurely stroll or bike ride and is home to the Borghese Gallery. Tour the architectural wonder, built under the supervision of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus between 212 and 216, of the Terme di Caracalla.

Walk in Cesar’s footsteps at the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Capitoline Museums. Put your hand in the Mouth of Truth near the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin and stop in to admire the Theatre of Marcellus. Cross the Tiber River and be captivated by Castel Sant’Angelo, Vatican City, St. Peter’s Square, Cathedral and the Sistine Chapel.

When your feet have done their duty for the day, relax over a refreshing aperitivo (cocktail and appetizer) or a savoury meal in one of the traditional bars or trattorias. If you are a “foody” and require atmosphere, quality and fair prices, we suggest doing your homework first and making reservations. Rome will steal your heart and time, so plan wisely and realize that there will always be something left to tempt another visit. The “Eternal City” remains just that; beckoning you back again and again….
