What to see in Rome

1. Colisée
   The Colosseum shows what Roman builders could do: a vast arena designed to bring crowds in and out with an efficiency that still impresses.
2. Forum romain
   This was the beating heart of ancient Rome: you walk among columns, arches and temple foundations where the city's political, legal and religious life played out.
3. Vatican & Basilique Saint-Pierre
   The square opens its arms in a great colonnade, then the basilica reveals its scale: standing under the dome, you feel how everything here was designed to exceed the human.
4. Musées du Vatican
   Centuries of papal collections fill a single palace, from Greek and Roman antiquity to the Renaissance.
5. Fontaine de Trevi
   You come through narrow lanes and the square suddenly opens onto a white stone facade that looks almost too big for it.
6. Panthéon
   The Pantheon is one of the few buildings of ancient Rome that has stayed standing and in use to this day.
7. Villa Borghese
   This large park is a real breath of green in the middle of Rome, with shaded avenues, lawns where Romans walk, jog and picnic, and museums tucked between the trees.
8. Trastevere
   Trastevere is the Rome of cobbled lanes, ivy-covered ochre facades and laundry hanging from windows, tucked across the Tiber.
