Rome Family Highlights

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen
  • See the ancient Colosseum, site of gladiator battles
  • Imagine toga-clad politicians speaking at the Forum
  • Stand in Saint Peter's Square
  • Admire Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel and his Pietà in Saint Peter's Basilica
  • Find your favorite flavor of gelato

Rome Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Rome has almost too many attractions: ancient ruins, world-class art, historic churches and museums, as well as catacombs, classy shops, parks, piazzas, and fountains. A summer day in the Eternal City comes with crowds and noise—screeching Vespas, blaring car horns and droning bus engines. Add the frequent stop-and-go traffic, plus the hot Roman sun, and you can see why it's important not to attempt a marathon tour.
