Italy
Rome
Ancient stone, golden domes and piazzas made for lingering.
Why Rome
A city where two thousand years sit beside your espresso.
Rome is a living museum — the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican and a hundred quieter corners in between. Walk it slowly, eat well, and let the layers reveal themselves. It's a favourite for pilgrimage, honeymoon and cultural travel, and pairs beautifully with the rest of Italy.

Travel tips
Before you go.
Practical guidance from our consultants, so you arrive ready.
Schengen visa
Italy is in the Schengen area; a tourist visa is required for most West African passports. We guide the application.
Book major sites ahead
Colosseum and Vatican sell out days in advance. Pre-booked tickets save hours.
Cover up in churches
Shoulders and knees covered for St Peter's and any active church.
Validate regional train tickets
Stamp regional tickets in the platform machine before boarding or risk a fine.
Carry some cash
Cards are widely taken, but small trattorias and market stalls prefer cash.
