Explore the diverse sights in Rome
Rome's landmarks are world-famous: Must-sees include the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. From your vacation rental, visit the Colosseum, where gladiator fights were held in ancient times. Another interesting site is the Roman Forum. It housed temples, senate buildings, and a prison. The Roman Forum was also used as a marketplace and market hall. The Pope has his residence in the Vatican. As a visitor, you have access to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, whose dome is decorated with a huge painting by Michelangelo. The Spanish Steps are a popular meeting place for locals and tourists. They lead over a height of 23 meters from Piazza di Spagna up to the Trinità dei Monti church. Visit the Pantheon with its unique stone dome. Particularly impressive is the dome opening in the center, through which sunlight enters. Perhaps book a vacation rental right in the center of Rome to devote yourself extensively to the ancient sights. Accommodation in the center saves you long distances and travel times through the city.
Include these highlights in your trip!
From your affordable vacation rental in Rome, you have a wide selection to discover the vibrant city on the Tiber. Be sure to visit the famous Trevi Fountain with its magnificent statues. Legend has it that it brings luck to throw coins into this fountain. With one coin, you express the wish to return to Rome, with a second one, love, and with a third one, marriage is said to be promoted. The coins do not stay in the Trevi Fountain - they are collected by the city and used for charitable purposes.
Experiencing Piazza Navona in the evening is a special highlight. Half of Rome meets here to chat, watch painters and have a small snack. The three fountains on the Piazza provide a wonderful splashing and a gentle refreshment in the air. For art enthusiasts, the Vatican Museums are a must. You should also visit the Villa Borghese and the modern exhibitions and galleries in Rome.
Take advantage of your stay in your vacation rental to take a boat trip on the Tiber. You will see the Eternal City from a completely new perspective and get an interesting picture of the many bridges and buildings. You can reach the excavations in Ostia Antica with an ancient mill and bakery. The Angel Bridge over the Tiber looks enchanting at night with its beautiful lighting – maybe that's why you book a boat trip in the warm evening hours.
Family vacation in Rome - completely relaxed in the vacation rental
The city of Rome offers many great activities that are family-friendly. Teenagers, in particular, will be thrilled by the colorful hustle and bustle of the metropolis. Book a private vacation home on the outskirts of the city if you prefer peace and quiet. An apartment in the center is ideal if you want to focus your activities on ancient Rome and the Eternal City. Book an affordable vacation rental from a private owner near a park or green areas if you are traveling with small children or planning a vacation with a dog in Rome. This way, you can quickly go from the apartment to the green to get some fresh air and take a short walk. Use a vacation rental rented by a private owner on the outskirts of the city or near Termini train station if you want to use the apartment as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Make a beautiful trip to the sea, to Naples or to Lake Bracciano with an adjacent nature park. At Lake Bracciano, you can swim and admire ancient buildings in the surrounding towns.
Enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine
Use your vacation in your vacation rental or modern apartment to try the delicious cuisine of Lazio. Buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the market and indulge in delicious Dolci, which you can enjoy in the apartment or directly at the café. Italy is famous for its excellent ice cream. As soon as you take a few steps out of your apartment, you will encounter the first delicious temptations. Most apartments and vacation rentals are equipped with a small kitchen and a refrigerator. This way, you can prepare a cheap quick meal and enjoy a peaceful breakfast in the morning. However, staying in the accommodation in the evening would be a pity. At this time, Rome comes alive again. Everyone leaves their apartment and meets outside on the squares and in the taverns. People chat with friends and enjoy a delicious pizza or freshly prepared pasta with the obligatory espresso as a finish over a glass of wine.
Art and culture is a top priority in the Italian capital
As soon as you leave your vacation rental in Rome, you will encounter ancient architecture witnesses at every step. The Vatican Museums house the papal art collection. It is one of the most extensive collections in the world with art and cultural treasures. You will find exhibits from the Ancient Orient, Antiquity, the development of Christianity and the Renaissance. There is a department of modern art and ethnographic collections. In St. Peter's Basilica, you will find the famous Pietà by Michelangelo, for example. Apart from the ancient art collections, there is a vibrant scene in the Trastevere neighborhood. Many artists have settled here. The trendy district invites you to stroll through the idyllic alleys with a lot of local bars and galleries. If you enjoy music, you can listen to open-air performances throughout the city in summer. A particular pleasure for opera lovers is a visit to the Italian Opera. The Teatro dell Opera hosts regular performances with an international top cast.
