## History

The extensive historic center of Rome is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. No one can question the historical significance of this city. It was founded more than 2700 years ago and many buildings and structures have been preserved to this day. A walk around the city will convey to you the feeling that you are back in time. Although most of you will know the main monuments such as the Pantheon, the Colosseum or the Basilica of St. Petra from pictures and postcards, seeing these places with your own eyes exceeds all your expectations.

## Architecture

In Rome, almost all architectural styles are combined, from ancient, medieval, renaissance and baroque to modern buildings. Surprisingly, all of this is combined into incredible harmony. You will definitely not experience this combination anywhere else.

## Fountains

Rome is and always has been a city of water. This is reflected in the ubiquitous beautiful fountains, of which there are over 1,000 in Rome. The fountains in Rome are magnificent sculptures. Among the most famous and most visited of them is the Trevi Fountain, which is considered a symbol of the city. Last year alone, tourists threw over 36 million crowns into it. Other important fountains worth seeing include the Fontana dei Quattro fiumi, Piazza di Spagna, Fontana dell'Acqua Paola and Fontana Barcaccia

## Food

Italian cuisine is loved all over the world, but few people realize that each region of Italy has its own unique dishes. Rome excels in the perfect preparation of pasta "without red sauce" (especially amatriciana, carbonara, gricia and cacio e pepe) and is famous for its extra thin pizza. The local cuisine has a Jewish influence, so you will find dishes rich in artichokes, zucchini and anchovies. Whether you opt for a luxury restaurant or a street stall, count on quality and fresh ingredients that will delight your taste buds.

## Shopping and fashion

Italy is known for its influence on world fashion and the streets of Rome are lined with shops of all major Italian fashion brands, such as Zara, Armani, Benetton. Here you can find special collections that will never reach us and also experience the service of Italian sellers. There are many shopping areas in Rome, each with a completely different atmosphere. If fashion doesn't tell you anything, visit local food markets or flea markets and get to know the real life of the locals.

## Religion

Located near the Prati district, the Vatican is the smallest state in the world and is the center of the Roman Catholic Church. It is one of the holiest places of Christianity, at the same time it has been the seat of the papacy since the 14th century and has thus become an attraction for tourists and pilgrims from all over the world. It contains important religious and cultural monuments, including the Basilica of St. Peter and the Vatican Museums.

It doesn't make much sense to list the individual monuments in Rome, step by step you will be enchanted by the magical atmosphere and the view of the remains of buildings. You can count on the pleasant weather and use a visit to Rome to warm up after a long winter. Rome is also great in that [flights] [1] go directly to the airport and you have everything from it, including the sea.

And don't forget that all roads lead to Rome.
