Rome is far from a museum though: it has a colourful and throbbing heart and traffic pushes its way along the city’s roads.  But you can easily escape into the myriad of narrow streets where you’ll find some of the country’s best restaurants and markets.  Look out for the famous Barberini pastry shop or the Volpetti cheese shop where they stock 150 local cheeses. A visit to the Testaccio area is a must for Foodies: thought to be the birthplace of Roman cuisine you’ll now find authentic Gelateria, where artisan gelato has been made for over a century.  Finally, don’t miss the Campo de Fiori’s piazza, which hosts a superb fruit, vegetable and fish market – it’s a wonderfully relaxing place to sit and watch the world go by whilst locals go about their everyday lives.

From small noisy rooms where you can enjoy steaming plates of pasta, to designer spaces for seeing and being seen, Rome's restaurants outnumber any other type of business in the city. We can arrange for you to make some of your own pasta, eat it that evening and even take some home to share with friends. Finally, if you fancy exploring the area just outside the City too, there are many interesting destinations from beaches to archaeological sites to choose from.  On a hot summer day relaxing in the fresh air of the nearby hills may be just what you need. Our Special Offers for Rome include flights and hotels.  We have plenty of options from B&B to luxury accommodation, so please just choose the one that best suits you.

 

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
