Rome
As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal states and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City". One of the world's most elegant capitals the layers of history and the city's sheer excess of beauty can prove overwhelming to the unsuspecting visitor but the historic center is quite small. Most of the major sights are within a reasonable distance of each other.
Sights And Attractions
Rome is a work of art in itself and you'll never tire of wandering its streets and plazas, discovering new and ever greater architectural gems with e
very turn. Seeing the many treasures the city contains would take a lifetime, but there are several highlights that remain essential on a trip to the Eternal City.
No visit to the city would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum, the symbol of Rome and the amphitheater that lends its name to all others. Discover thousand years of Roman history at the Forum and see the most impressive and best-preserved Roman building, The Pantheon.
You cannot leave out a visit to the Vatican and the Vatican museum. Its enormous collection is housed in the fabulously decorated salons and loggias of the palace. The gallery of frescoed maps of the world and the rooms painted by Raphael are unforgettable together with the highlight, the lovely Sistine chapel with its awe-inspiring frescoes of The Creation and The Last Judgment.
Popular Rome Sightseeing Tours
Shopping
The high budget shopper will find almost every famous designer they can think of in the area around Piazza di Spagna (including via Condotti, via Babuino, via Borgognona and via Frattina).
Try to find La Rinascente in the Via del Corso area. It’s a very good and one of the very few clothing department stores in historic Rome. See local vendors wheeling in their carts to sell everything from fresh fish to clothing at the Campo dei Fiori. The market runs all day, and at dusk, the restaurants begin to come alive.
Food
Roman cuisine is one of the best cuisines in the world and many visitors would agree. Prices are extremely reasonable and quality is consistently high. Here is a list of 
some of the local specialties: Carciofi alla Romana -fried, stuffed artichokesFiori di zucca -stuffed and fried courchette flowers Salted cod Saltimbocca alla Romana- veal escalope stuffed with cured ham and sageBucatini all'amatriciana - spaghetti-like pasta with spicy tomato sauceSpaghetti alla carbonara -spaghetti with egg, bacon and Parmesan

I love visiting the Antica Birreria Peroni.
It's a great little restaurant offering simple and inexpensive food. From pasta's to meat and wine to beer!
A great place to meet the locals in a traditional friendly atmosphere.
