The fact that Rome is the most visited city in Italy is not surprising. Whilst walking along the ancient cobblestone streets you will certainly feel like you have been transported back 2,000 years in time. Brimming with monuments, churches, art galleries and palaces, you will need to plan your time well just to skim the surface! Below are a few of the must see sights and a few hidden jewels.

On the top of the list is the ancient Colosseum. This amazing amphitheatre is in many people’s opinion the greatest architectural work of the Romans. Next door you will find the Roman Forum, where Roman civilisation was cradled. To fully understand how the Ancient Romans once lived a guided tour is advisable.

If you only visit one museum in Rome, make sure it is the Vatican Museums. A delight to the senses nowhere else will you see so many artists such as Rafaello, Caravaggio, Bernini, da Vinci and many more on display in Rome. Your visit will conclude in the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s iconic image of God giving life to Adam. With over 900 churches to choose from in the historic centre make time for the most famous of all, St. Peter’s Basilica.

Roman squares, fountains and sculpture are on every corner of the historic centre and each one is unique. Sit on the famous Spanish Steps, throw coins into the Trevi Fountain, admire the Caravaggio’s inside the twin churches of Piazza del Popolo and stroll around Piazza Navona, which was used in ancient times for the “agones” games.

Make time to visit one of the hidden gems of Rome. Open to the public on Saturday mornings is Palazzo Colonna. Built over ancient ruins, this palace belonging to the Colonna family for over 20 generations will take your breath away. Together with the gallery and Princess Isabella’s apartments it represents one of the biggest private art collections in Rome.

A spooky hidden gem is the Capuchin Crypt on Via Veneto. Containing the bones of over 4,000 monks it is said that they were fleeing the French revolution.

Directions – The full postal address of the Hotel Euro Quiris Rome is Via Dei Mille, 64, 00185 Roma (RM). Our choice location by Termini Central Station could not be easier to reach. In the absolute centre of the city, Termini is Rome’s main transport interchange, where all buses, metros and trams pass and where all arrivals from outside the city see their first glimpses of Rome.

Both airports are linked to Termini by trains and buses and a taxi should cost no more than €40 during the day.

To reach the hotel, exit Termini on Via Marsala (this is where the coach drops you off if you’re coming from Ciampino Airport on Easyjet or Ryan Air). Cross the road, go up Via Marghera and turn right onto Vie dei Mille. Look out for our sign at number 64.
