Rome is a magical city. The art, the history, the architecture, and the people form a mosaic of wonders that give Rome its unique beauty. After visiting the amazing sights of the Colosseum, the Vatican and of course the Trevi Fountain, ditch the guidebook and head off down the centre's cobbled alleys.  Park yourself at a café or any of the city's picture-perfect piazzas and tuck into a plate of pasta while observing the city's inhabitants at close quarters. Brimming with Mediterranean exuberance, it is not the just the relics but the Romans themselves that make the Eternal City eternally fascinating.
