Rome does not need any introduction as many of its beloved foods are clear favorites all over the world. Luckily, Italy's capital has more than that to offer guests; a city dotted with architectural wonders, historical landmarks and some of the most beautiful art pieces ever created by mankind. Amble along its buzzing streets, marvel at the history in every corner from buildings to plazas, or hit the shopping area for some retail therapy. Nearby is Vatican City, home of the Pope and headquarters of the Roman Catholic church. In the evening, there is no reason to stay inside as there is action on the street from lively bars to animated dance floors.
