We’ve been here. We love Rome, it’s one of our absolute favourites — don’t miss it.
A city of layers—literally. Beneath churches lie temples, beneath piazzas lie forums. Rome is a walking contradiction: sacred and profane, chaotic and serene. Toss a coin in the Trevi, dodge scooters, and let the city unfold.
