Rome
Popular places to visit
Colosseum
A true architectural heavyweight, the 2,000-year-old Colosseum is often considered one of the seven “modern” wonders of the world.
Trevi Fountain
Rome is a city abundant in world-class water features, but none more stunning, or more famous, than the Trevi Fountain.
Spanish Steps
A monumental stairway with a monumental past, the Spanish Steps are literally and figuratively at the heart of Rome.
Piazza Navona
The old papal buildings have altered little over the centuries, but still act as an open-air hub for cafés and street entertainers.
Pantheon
One of ancient Rome’s greatest achievements combines momentous history and inspired architecture.
Vatican Museums
Forget the Louvre, the Met or the Hermitage, some of the world’s greatest collections of art can be found in the Vatican Museums.

Room was clean and comfortable. Wish we stayed here longer. Couldn’t control the mini split or close the window. Tub in the room but no bubble bath or salts.
