Rome: It's hard to say what you'll
find most breathtaking about the eternal city - the arrogant
opulence of the Vatican, the timelessness of the Forum,
the top speed of a Fiat Bambino, the millions of cats in
the Colosseum, trying to cross a major intersection, or
the bill for your latte.
Make like the locals and souse your senses in the glut
of pleasures the city has to offer, from the grandiose thrill
of feeling centuries of turbulent history under your feet
to the small but potent intoxication of eating chestnut
gelati on a hot day.
Rome means history. There's layers of the stuff - Etruscan
tombs, Republican meeting rooms, imperial temples, early
Christian churches, medieval bell towers, Renaissance palaces
and baroque basilicas. In this city a phenomenal concentration
of history, legend and monuments coexists with an equally
phenomenal concentration of people busily going about their
everyday life. So get your cultural fill but be sure to
leave time for more hedonistic concerns: eat till you can
eat no more and get drunk on wine, architecture and sunshine.
