A trip to Rome is all about embracing the local lifestyle and immersing yourself in history. There’s much to see and do here, but many prime sights can be found within the city’s grand piazzas. The Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous fountains in the world, is located in the Piazza di Trevi, while the equally iconic Spanish Steps rise up from the Barcaccia Fountain in the Piazza di Spagna.

Much of Rome’s world-class architecture needs no introduction. Even if this is your first visit, you’ll undoubtedly see familiar sights all around. While there are landmarks from numerous eras dotted around the city, the most fascinating have to be those from ancient Rome. The Colosseum, which was once filled with gladiators and chariots, and Palatine Hill, the most ancient part of the city, are two of the most intriguing sights. The Roman Forum and the Pantheon are other must-see remnants.

The Vatican Museums in Vatican City boast some of the best renaissance art and classical sculptures in the world, and is also the home of the Sistine Chapel. Crane your neck to take in the ornate painted ceiling, completed by Michelangelo in 1512, which is one of the world’s most iconic artworks. If you’re looking for contemporary art, head to MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts.
