Rome is a city where you can walk anywhere in the city center and this is the best way to visit the city. Wondering through Rome's old historical center is one of the most exciting experiences when in Rome.

Explore the magnificent buildings and their architecture, take in the street life, visit hundreds of churches as you stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets, go window shopping, and walk into any caf?-bar for that taste of capuccino flavor. Our advise is to start early in the moring and get ready for a long walk with a pair of comfortable shoes.

The most important sites in Rome can be all easily reached in a few hours walking.
Spring or late fall is for sure the best time to visit the city, especially if you are coming with your children to Rome, the weather will be just perfect.

Children are very welcome in Italy and in almost every Pizzerias and Trattorias you will find high chairs for babies on request.

Most of the restaurants in fact are fine with children eating only half-portions or sharing meals. The best pizzerias for a families are probably the old fashioned ones, this is where you will see the chefs pound, stretch, and flip the though in the air which is something very peculiar they will always remember!

Nightlife in Rome is exciting and in latest years the number places to hangout and clubs have increased and are focusing on a more demanding clientele.

In Testaccio area you will easily find all the best tastes for all budgets and a wide variety of places. Another equally popular activity is to simply relax with friends and enjoy a good bottle of wine in the so-called "enoteche" (wine bars)located in any of the historic center's beautiful squares.

Jazz, Rock, Folk, South American and world music are popular cultural events which you will easily find in the many venues scattered around in the city center

In recent years, many new Italian bands started getting popular and are worth seeing alongside with the many other international stars that are constantly playing here.

Summer months bring excellent open-air rock, jazz and world music festivals. Ippodromo delle Capannelle has become the most popular highlight of many Roman Summer Events, selling million tickets in sales. African music is not forgotten and in June-July there's an excellent festival taking place in Villa Ada. Talents such as Angelique Kidjo and pianist Abdullah Ibrahim perform here.

The popular, small local food markets and the several curiosity markets are all very well-known and located in the city center. Trastevere has a famous flea market whilst in Campo dei Fiori you will find a very characteristic vegetable and flower market .

Roman markets offer a lively feel of entertainment. During the Christmas and Epiphany holidays, many stand owners present their goods in a variety of handicrafts, games, toys, and clothes. A perfect opportunity to stock up on Italian specialties.

Rome is definetely an excellent vacation spot for group and families, go experience it youlself!
