ROME ITALY VACATIONS!
Rome is more than a fascinating European capital
city; it is a spectacular encyclopedia of living history.
Rome is halfway down Italy's western coast, about 12 miles
inland. It has been said that every road in Rome leads
to eternity. The city is vast, though the historic center
is quite small. The whole experience of Rome is so powerful
as to be almost overwhelming at times. The best way to
prepare for a visit is to study a little of the history
of the region, to be as well rested as possible, and to
arrange an itinerary that allows time to explore, rest,
and reflect on the magnificence of it all.
There is a steady stream of spectacular festivals,
exhibits and events for the whole family. Guided walking
tours and bus tours for every energy level and budget
provide great assistance in becoming acquainted with the
past and present of this amazing city.
The city’s 300 fountains, its sculpture,
its glorious panorama of ancient, medieval, Renaissance,
baroque and modern art, music and architecture are all
part of the reason that Pope Gregory XIVs remark in the
16th century is still true today. Pope Gregory said of
the joys of exploring and discovering the city, “a
lifetime is not enough.”
