Five Reasons You Should Visit Rome in 2008!


Buon giorno!  I went to Rome last year – yes, I was lucky enough to visit this city and let me tell you, it was amazing! I’ve been talking about it to anybody who will listen, so I finally thought it was time for me to shut up and write down my top five reasons to make a trip to Rome!

  1. Art – Simply put, Italy has an amazing amount of art, paintings, sculptures, monuments, masterpieces etc.  Rome itself houses many of these and any art lover could spend every moment discovering art covering nearly 2,800 years at the various galleries and museums.

  2. The Vatican – Even if you don’t belong to the Catholic Church, a visit to the Vatican is a necessity.  Did you know that Vatican City is the world’s richest country in the world per square foot?  I digress; at the Vatican you can see priceless treasures, climb the top of the dome and visit St. Peters Basilica (don’t forget to take in the view).

  3. Food – O.k. food is very important to me when I travel and Rome certainly didn’t disappoint.  I enjoyed a huge range of restaurants suiting a variety of budgets!  Of course, you’ll want to indulge in pizza and fresh pasta until you are blue in the face!  Don’t forget to enjoy a nice glass of Italian wine too!

  4. Weather – You can basically visit Rome at any time of the year.  The weather it typically sunny and pleasant!

  5. Heritage – There is a great history and heritage in Rome that is unlike any other place I’ve visited.  From the amazing architecture, the melodious language and wonderful people, this place oozes Italian heritage and is definitely worth a visit.

I hope you plan a trip to Rome sometime soon.  Oh yeah, I just so happened to book a package with Virgin Vacations and it was awesome.  All the details were taken care of!
