Your journey through Ancient Rome can continue with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where you can walk among the ruins of temples, arches, and ancient imperial residences.

September’s generally more comfortable conditions make exploring these outdoor archaeological areas especially enjoyable.

Explore Rome Beyond the Famous Attractions

Rome is much more than its famous monuments.

Take time to wander through the charming streets of Trastevere, admire the beauty of Piazza Navona, make a wish at the Trevi Fountain, and enjoy the atmosphere around the Spanish Steps.

Sometimes, the most memorable moments happen when you slow down and simply explore.
