About Roma

Roma superpone casi tres mil años de historia en una ciudad para recorrer a pie, del Coliseo y el Foro a las plazas barrocas y el arte del Vaticano.

La Roma antigua sigue a la vista. El Coliseo, el Foro Romano y el Palatino se alzan juntos en el corazón de la ciudad, el Panteón sigue en pie con su óculo abierto, y fragmentos de templos y acueductos asoman entre los bloques de viviendas. Al otro lado del Tíber, la Ciudad del Vaticano alberga la basílica de San Pedro, los Museos Vaticanos y el techo de la Capilla Sixtina pintado por Miguel Ángel.
