Rome
ROME - BEST RESTAURANTS, HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS & TOP HOTELS
Introduction
Italy's capital Rome is located at River Tiber and called one of of the most romantic cites of the world. It's home to the state of Vatican and German Pope Benedict XVI( born as Joseph Alois Ratzinger ). Walking through Rome is like stepping back in time when the city was the centre of the Roman empire. "Roma", like the Romans call their capital invites you to stroll the little alleyways discovering the city bit by bit. Definitely don't miss out on the Colosseum, Piazza del popolo or the Spanish Steps with its guitar players. Have lunch with locals at Bar Ciampini, which is located not far from the Pantheon and off the popular shopping street Via del Corso.Throwing three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the the famous Fontana di Trevi where Fellinis "La Dolce Vita" played means you will be bewitched from its beauty and return for sure. It’s true: Rome wasn’t built in a day – but almost every moment of its lengthy and splendid history is still visible in some form.
