Rome is a fantastic and awesome city visited by millions of students every year for educational studies and by romantics whom choose this vibrant city for a second honeymoon. Rome is the capital city of Italy with a Mediterranean climate and is home to nearly three million inhabitants with an additional near sixty million tourists every year. Many are actually pilgrims visiting the Vatican City which is a 44 hectare walled country inside Rome. The Vatican City is built around the impressive St Peters Square, and inside its medieval walls, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel awaits admiration from the throngs of tourists who are amazed at the pure beauty of this ornate painting. Rome is steeped in history and culture and a visit to the world famous Colosseum is a must whilst travelling through this magical city. Guided tours are available for many different historically important sights which offer deep insights into a past era where gladiators fought to the death and the conquering legions trained for a twenty five year army career with no release unless they were injured or killed in action. A trip to the catacombs to visit underground burial chambers is a macabre and interesting way to spend the afternoon. Rome hotels are perfectly situated in the centre of the city to provide ample tourist trips and local transportation is reliable and frequent. Rome is beautiful at night with many fountains coming alive with colourful lights, the cafes offering various coffees and famous Italian wines at reasonable prices to while away an evening watching the world go by. City wide evening tours are available to absorb the magic and exuberance of this awesome city. The night life in Rome is buzzing with excitement as music cascades out of the clubs into the early hours of the morning. All styles of music are catered for in the thousands of clubs and bars which line the streets for the energetic dancer to strut their stuff. A relaxing stroll along the Tiber River makes for a romantic interlude from the fast pace of this glorious city.
