Hoogtepunten

A tourist’s travel to Rome is not complete without visiting the Vatican city, also known as the Holy City. It is considered to be the smallest independent state in the world, the home of Pope, and the centre of Catholicism. There are plenty of good reasons to visit the Vatican, as this tiny city is full of attractions, points of interest, artworks, and history. Thousands of people come every year in the Vatican to admire the gorgeous Saint Peter’s basilica and square. This is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. The Sistine Chapel is an impressive artwork dated from 1473. This is the main location where Cardinals choose a new Pope. Michelangelo is the author of the famous frescoes that depict stories from the Old and the New Testament, and “the Last Judgement”. Even though you are not a religious person, you will be surely impressed by the breathtaking beauty of these frescoes.

About Rome

Rome legt bijna drieduizend jaar geschiedenis in één stad die je te voet beleeft, van Colosseum en Forum tot barokke pleinen en Vaticaanse kunst.

Het oude Rome ligt nog altijd open en bloot. Het Colosseum, het Forum Romanum en de Palatijn staan samen in het hart van de stad, het Pantheon prijkt nog steeds met zijn open oculus en tussen de woonblokken duiken brokstukken van tempels en aquaducten op. Aan de overkant van de Tiber herbergt Vaticaanstad de Sint-Pietersbasiliek, de Vaticaanse Musea en het plafond van Michelangelo's Sixtijnse Kapel.

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