We’ve been here. We love Rome & Surrounds, it’s one of our absolute favourite regions — don’t miss it.
Where ancient grandeur meets modern chaos. The Eternal City spills into hill towns, vineyards, and volcanic lakes. Day trips to Tivoli or Frascati offer respite from Rome’s buzz, but the echoes of empire are never far.
