Must See Places in Rome

Posted on 03.24.17

must see places in romeWhen you are considering whether or not to visit Rome, Italy, the question should be Why wouldn’t I plan a trip to this beautiful historical city? From the food and people to the historical significance of the ruins that still stand here, Rome offers travelers a unique travel experience. Consider these reasons to tour the “Eternal City.”

  1. The Pantheon
    It is not very often that you get the opportunity to visit an ancient ruin that looks remarkably like it did when it was built nearly 2,000 years ago. From the beautiful marble floors inside to its weathered exterior, the Pantheon has managed to remain nearly unblemished through the years. Unlike the nearby Colosseum, which is a former shadow of its once great self, the Pantheon has stayed mostly intact. It is in such great shape that it has had near-continuous use since it was built.
  2. The Colosseum
    You would be remiss if you visited Rome and did not take the opportunity to visit the Colosseum. Perhaps the easiest landmark to identify, the location once hosted powerful gladiators and is known for its sometimes gruesome history. While the men dressed in gladiator costumes that stand outside the site selling trinkets take away a bit of allure of the site, if you put that aside and view it for its historical significance, you will not be disappointed.
  3. The Art Museums
    Italy is home to more than half of the most famous works of art in the world. The works of prominent artists are displayed in and around Rome with pieces covering a multitude of historical eras. Nearly 3,000 years of art can be observed in museum displays, architecture, and monuments scattered throughout the city.
  4. Vatican City
    Though technically a city unto itself, if you are visiting Rome, make the time to tour Vatican City. Many devout Catholics are drawn to the spot for religious reasons, however, you don’t need to be religious to understand the significance of the smallest country in the world. From the Basilica of Saint Peter and Castel Sant’ Angelo to the amazing views that exist here, a tour of Vatican City leaves a lasting impression.

This list only scratches the surface of all that Rome has to offer. So, book your ticket today, pack your favorite walking shoes, and set out to walk in the footsteps of Roman history.
