About Rom

Rom samlar nästan tretusen år av historia i en stad som går att upptäcka till fots, från Colosseum och Forum till barockpiazzor och Vatikanens konst.

Det antika Rom syns fortfarande öppet i stadsbilden. Colosseum, Forum Romanum och Palatinen ligger tillsammans i stadens hjärta, Pantheon står kvar med sin öppna oculus och rester av tempel och akvedukter dyker upp mellan flerfamiljshusen. På andra sidan Tibern rymmer Vatikanstaten Peterskyrkan, Vatikanmuseerna och Michelangelos fresker i Sixtinska kapellet.
