Stay in Rome vacation rentals and see the wonders of the Eternal City

You can be one of the millions of all ages who visit Italy's capital every year to experience a taste of la dolce vita. Take a historic tour of millennia-old structures in the Roman Forum, mingle with the locals at the bustling Porta Portese flea market, or marvel at the breathtaking frescoes of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and others in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. Or you can simply kick back and relax in your Rome rental apartment and practice the Italian art of il dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing.

History

Legend has it that Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a wolf. What isn't myth is archaeological evidence that humans lived in the area around 14,000 years ago. Over the millennia, the Roman Empire emerged and some of the structures from that era can still be seen today. From your vacation rental, you can plan a trip to the Colosseum, where gladiators once fought, or to the much older Theater of Marcellus, which was built in 13 BC for musical and dramatic productions. The Castel Sant'Angelo and the Pantheon, both dating from the 2nd century, are also must-sees in any Roman holiday.

How to get around

Travelling around Rome from your vacation rental

As the popular saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, and walking the city's roads is the best way to soak up its atmosphere. Many attractions are located in traffic-free zones in the central historic district, so getting between landmarks in the area takes no time at all. To visit sites outside the historic centre – such as the Vatican or the Catacombs of Rome – you can take a taxi, a city bus, or the metro. Driving in Rome isn't recommended because of traffic congestion and limited parking in the city. However, if you must take a car, make sure you have an International Driver's Permit.

Food & drink

Tantalize your taste buds with delicious eats in Rome

When in Rome, eat as the Romans do. If you're a vegetarian, you'll find no shortage of dishes you can eat in restaurants or cook in your own vacation rental. Seasonal veggies include Rome's world-famous artichokes – usually available from February to May – which are crisp and light when fried. Carbonara is another Italian dish that enjoys global renown, but there's neither cream nor peas in the Roman version. Instead, the pasta is made flavourful with pecorino Romano cheese, fresh black pepper, egg, and smoked pork jowl. To indulge your sweet tooth, visit a pasticceria (pastry shop) and give fine pastries called pasticcini a try.

Essential info

Essential facts for your Rome vacation rental stay

Italy's capital city covers 1,285 sq km by the Tiber River in the Lazio region. With more than 4.3 million residents, it's the country's most populous city. The euro (€) is the official currency and Italian is the official language – though English is spoken in the most-visited areas. If you're dining out, leave a 5–10% tip on top of the service charge that's already included in the menu prices. Smaller tips for taxi drivers, bartenders, and tour guides are also appreciated. Rome is generally a safe place to visit, but if you need help in an emergency, dial 113 for the police and 118 for an ambulance.
