A travel guide to Italty's eternal city, Rome

Rediscover the Eternal City with our Rome travel guide

When international travel resumes in Rome, a city that is almost 3000 years old, it will be with an enhanced appreciation of the Italian capital’s ancient relics, art and architecture.

Sit around a table at a trattoria, savour every bite of pizza al taglio (by the slice), or enjoy an aperitivo while watching the sun paint the Pantheon in pink light.

Cross the Tiber River via the charming stone footbridge into Trastevere, to discover one of the neighbourhoods where modern-day Romans most like to eat and drink.

Time your progressive food pilgrimage to coincide with the ritual of the nightly passeggiata, starting at Supplì for a plate of the rice balls stuffed with mozzarella, fried and served drenched in ragu.

Continue with your feast around the medieval quartiere of Trastevere , where you can stop for a glass of sangiovese while people-watching.

Allow for more time in Trastevere to try the crispy Roman artichokes at Nannarella in Piazza di San Calisto.

Don’t miss the tagliolini ai gamberi in the charming courtyard garden at Checco er Carettiere close to Piazza Trilussa.

Piazza di Santa Maria is like a scene from La Grande Bellezza (‘The Great Beauty’) where Rome exists beneath the awe-inspiring art, the chattering and the noise.
