Rome is one of the largest cities in Europe. Rome is a “must to see”. Rome is an atmosphere. Magnificent and brutal at the same time, it is a summary of the Western civilization whose testimonies, from the oldest to the earliest, are shown everywhere as well as its hectic daily life.
The best way to experience Rome, especially as a first-time visitor, is to trace the paths to reach the climax, but also to leave the tracks traveled by tourists and re-enter the genuine, local atmosphere.
Sightseeing Tours in Rome
The charme of the “ancient ruins”: to understand the greatness of the past and the architectural skills already achieved by the Romans
The new imposing architectures and symbols of the Christian ideas: to understand the power acquired by the new religion.
Churches, steeples, towers often included in later buildings, curvy alleyways: the medieval features that are often on your side when strolling through the center.
The “myth” of Rome, its grandeur and splendor, revived from the beginning of the fifteenth century, thanks to the popes, and witnessed today by the basilicas, the several churches and by the magnificent noble palaces.
Squares, fountains, mansions and over ornate churches testify the exuberance of Baroque and Rococo Rome: a new expression of art, a synthesis of emotions.
In September 1870 Rome became the capital of the brand new Italy: a regular urban plan was laid out and a different skyline outlined to make Rome compete with other major metropolis in Europe.
