It’s actually quite difficult to make a short list of things that are worth visiting. Rome is one of those cities where one simply has to see it all. And you can almost see it all just by walking into the city, but it’s also recommended that you buy the discount card – Roma Pass 48 hours or Roma Pass 72 Hours – which, based on the type you choose, includes, for a limited time, admission to one or two museums, tickets for the metro, bus or tram, and discounts on ticket purchases.
The city of many names and proverbs won’t release you easily from its ancient grip. The city certainly doesn’t lack bodies of water and water features. Along with the Tiber, the city also offers magnificent fountains, such as the Trevi Fountain, the Fountain of the Four Rivers, the Moor Fountain and the Fountain of Neptune. You can feel the city’s vibe in various squares, such as Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza del Popolo, or by sitting down on the Spanish Steps. If you want to chase the ghosts of the past, you can do so by visiting the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum and various temples, basilicas and other landmarks of the advanced world of the past.
An extra bonus when it comes to Rome is that you can visit a small country within a larger country and explore the Vatican. The breath-taking St. Peter’s Square, crowned by St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Vatican museums are a true heaven for history buffs and all those who admire the human creativity.
In general, Rome and Vatican are a treasure trove for every travel enthusiast, as a simple walk down the streets is a real hunt for not-so-hidden, yet still exciting treasure. And all the while, Hostelling International offers you a place to stay and a respite from all the daily excitement in its cheap hostels.
Don’t wait too long and embark on your very own adventure in the City on Seven Hills.
