On top of that you can't beat the Italian food, coffee and sunny weather. There are plenty of things to see and try. Our top sites are listed below:

• Roman Forum Ruins:: It's a massive archaeological site first erected 500 BC by Julius Caesar.

We recommend researching before you visit or get a guide when strolling through the site.

How to get from Rome airport to the city centre?

Rome (FCO) airport is located around 32km from the city centre. It takes anything between 30 min to 1 hour to get to the city centre. There are many choices available to you:

Taxi & Uber: This is the fastest way to get to town but there is a risk of getting stuck in rush hour traffic. The fare is around €48. Uber also operates at the airport and it is slightly cheaper.

Trains: This is an easy and fast way of getting to the city centre. It costs €8 and takes around 30 minutes. The trains run every 15 minutes.

Bus: Buses are a bit messy. There is no direct connection between the airport and the city centre. For those who land in Rome for the first time, we recommend staying away from this option. If you do decide to use the bus beware of pickpockets both on the bus and around the bus stations.
