Rome & Venice Holidays

Rome is the only city in the world to contain an independent country (Vatican City) within her. With some of the most awe-inspiring buildings, fascinating art, incredible food and wine, and spectacular sights in Europe, holidays to Rome make for the perfect city break. The Eternal City is crowned as the world's greatest open-air museum, with thousands of historic sites dominating the capital and the skyline. A cradle for several civilisations, this European city has probably best-preserved myriads of architectural styles—from Pagan Temples to Gothic and Baroque.
