Since you'll be checking off major sites like some jet-setting bingo player, a trip to the city's historic center will put you close to a vast swath of them in one fell swoop. Here, ancient attractions like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Terme di Caracalla rub elbows with loads of other worthwhile (and equally Instagrammable) local landmarks. A short walk, metro ride, or Vespa trip away, the Villa Borghese boasts nearly 200 acres of landscaped gardens, complete with walking paths, lakes, and an art gallery.
If there's one thing everyone can agree on about Rome, it's that you'll never be at a loss for something to do. Whether your idea of a good time is window shopping along the Via Condotti or filling up on thin-crust Roman-style pies at the city's plentiful pizzerias, you'll be able to find your heart's desire in Rome. Culture vultures can catch a Fellini retrospective at one of the city's venerable arthouse theaters, or you can head to the vibrant Pigneto neighborhood, where you can check out live music by local bands.
Rome has a Mediterranean climate (literally), which means warm, dry summers, and cool winters with regular rainfall; the city also gets more hours of sunlight than most other European destinations. Average summer highs peak around 78 degrees in July and August, while the top winter temperatures hover around 55 between December and February. Winter lows dip into the 30s, so a trip to the Via Condotti could be in order in case you "forget" your winter coat. Since the city is packed during the summer season, you'll find that prices for Rome vacation rentals tend to be lower during the slower, cooler winter months.
Rome is a densely urban city on the banks of the Tiber River, with a number of narrow cobbled streets and old, stone buildings throughout its historic center. Farther out, other neighborhoods and the surrounding suburbs offer more breathing room, with broader thoroughfares and fewer structures. Throughout the hilly city, you'll find plenty of pedestrian-friendly streets, and bikes and mopeds are popular methods of getting around, too. Rome boasts a number of parks, so no matter where your Rome vacation rental lies, you'll never be too far from a tranquil, leafy oasis amid the city's non-stop bustle.
The nearest airport is in Rome (CIA-Ciampino), located 9.2 mi (14.8 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that works for your travel itinerary, you might consider flying into Rome (FCO-Fiumicino - Leonardo da Vinci Intl.), which is 13.9 mi (22.4 km) away.
If you prefer to travel by train, Rome Piazzale Flaminio Station, Rome Termini Station and Rome San Pietro Station are the main stations in the city. You can get around Rome by catching a ride on the metro at Spagna Station, Barberini Station or Flaminio - Piazza del Popolo Station.
Roman cuisine is focused on fresh, seasonal, and simply prepared ingredients, such as globe artichokes, shellfish, milk-fed lamb and goat, and cheeses like romano and ricotta. The most popular sweets in Rome are individual pastries called pasticcini, gelato, and handmade chocolates. If you want to experience the rich flavors of Roman cuisine, visit a restaurant or café near your vacation accommodation.
Rome is the perfect setting for a couple’s retreat.

You'll also like the Vatican Museums, the papal palace museums housing classical and renaissance art masterpieces.
