Rome - Messenger Travel

Rome

A city packed full of history, culture and tradition, Rome is bursting at the seams with amazing monuments, fascinating churches, art galleries, and many, many magnificent restaurants and cafes. Vespas wind through streets thronged with effortlessly elegant locals, while musicians play in the squares surrounded by unparalleled architecture. The city’s mix of history and modernity creates a unique and magical atmosphere that captures hearts and minds.

Visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum, stepping back in time 2000 years, before wandering to the beautiful Trevi Fountain to admire the baroque splendour and throw a coin in. Wander the small backstreets, away from the crowds, and find small boutique shops and quaint cafes. Sip on a coffee and treat yourself to a gelato, relaxing like the Romans do.
