About Rom

Rom schichtet fast dreitausend Jahre Geschichte in einer Stadt der kurzen Wege, vom Kolosseum und Forum bis zu Barockplätzen und Vatikankunst.

Das antike Rom liegt noch immer offen vor einem. Kolosseum, Forum Romanum und Palatin liegen gemeinsam im Herzen der Stadt, das Pantheon steht mit seinem offenen Opaion noch heute, und Reste von Tempeln und Aquädukten tauchen zwischen Wohnhäusern auf. Jenseits des Tibers birgt die Vatikanstadt den Petersdom, die Vatikanischen Museen und Michelangelos Deckenfresko in der Sixtinischen Kapelle.

Top-ranked sights in Rom: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
