It's hard to describe Rome in a few words; a city so vast and rich in art, monuments and exquisite views, a historic city, which has preserved its charm and independence throughout the centuries. Rome has its own special charm and ambience and with its wonderful climates the city shows itself from its best side almost all year round.
There's much to do and even more to see, and most are the historical places and historic sites are within walking distance of one another. Once the seat of the mightiest empire in existence, the culture of Rome has shaped the face of art, architecture, law, warfare, warfare, literature and language in the Western world today. In fact, some refer to Rome as the 'cradle of Western civilization'.

Rome Best Coffee

Author: leonhouses

If you wish to enjoy one of the best espressos in Rome you should stop at S. Eustachio coffee following what is certainly considered a real daily ritual in Rome (number 82 of Sant'Eustachio square more or less between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon even not far from Rome Piazza Venezia Attractions).

The coffee in this historic bar of Rome is recommended by many guides. Flickr, for instance, considers it as "the best espresso in the world". You can decide to taste one of the S. Eustachio specialties (e.g. Monachella: coffee, chocolate and cream) directly in the bar or take away and enjoy the aroma at home. It is also possible to order through the web-site. If you wish to follow italian tradition, an option could be to come here and take an espresso after a lunch or dinner in one of the typical restaurants of Rome in Piazza Navona hidden in the small alleys of Rome city centre.

The Gardens of Rome

When you imagine Rome, what iconic images spring to mind? Is it the towering Colosseum? The Pantheon? Vatican City? While you'd be correct in imagining all of these things as symbolic of Rome, many people don't notice a hidden aspect to Rome all around them. While the historical sites and buildings are impressive, and indeed might be all you can see from a window in your hotel, Rome centre is filled with parks and gardens every bit as impressive as its architecture. With a large number of landscaped gardens sculpted by the 19th century Italian aristocracy, the city actually has one of the largest areas of green space amongst European capitals. Here are a few of the biggest, best, and brightest gardens in Rome.

Top 5 Ancient Ruins in Rome

Only a short distance from many a hotel, Rome centre sights include some of the world's most impressive ancient ruins. With so much to choose from, it's hard to know where to begin. Why not start with the following five.
Colosseum. The Colosseum is perhaps Rome's most iconic ruin, standing tall in the heart of the modern city. While not entirely intact, plenty remains to give visitors a sense of how impressive it would have been in ancient times, when 55,000 Romans filled its benches to watch gladiatorial contests, dramas based on Classical mythology, re-enactments of ancient land battles, performances of mock sea battles, and much more. It was built between 70 and 80 AD under Emperor Titus, with further modifications under Emperor Domitian.
