Known as the Eternal City, Rome is the perfect destination for a romantic break or maybe even a honeymoon. The city offers a wide range of activities for those who love to rekindle the romance. For instance, why not take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the streets of Rome, stopping only to indulge yourselves in some aphrodisiacal treats, such as delicious handmade chocolates. And then that night, treat yourselves to a serenaded, candlelit dinner along the famous Tiber. As the capital of Italy, Rome has so much to offer a couple who are looking to make their city break a special one.
But Rome has many other delightful things to offer as well as romance. Filled to the brim with history and religion, and spectacular reminders of the immensely powerful Roman Empire, Rome can be the perfect place if you wish to take your family away for a lesson in European cultures. Why not visit the Pope and take your family to Vatican City, popping in to explore the wonders of its museum? Another place that must be visited, purely for the wow-factor, is the Colosseum; you and your loved ones will be extremely in awe when you look at its marvelous construction. To please and entertain the public in ancient times, Emperors would use the Colosseum as a venue to hold a variety of games. More famously, it was used to hold outrageously ferocious fights to the death between gladiators and sometimes between gladiators and wild exotic animals. The chance to visit the Colosseum therefore cannot be passed during a trip to Rome.
Trips to Rome are also great ideas for Stag and Hen parties. The activities that are available for a stag party range from sport and adventure (including the more conventional go-karting, quad biking and target shooting) to alcohol-based activities such as beers tours and wine tasting. For hen parties, the activities available can include pampering days, afternoon tea sessions and the incredible shopping opportunities. As well as this variety of activities, hundreds of trendy bars can also be found within Rome, guaranteeing to keep your night going for longer.
But no trips to Rome can be complete without experiencing true Italian food, arguably the best food in the world. Rome offers a huge range of freshly made food within its vast number or restaurants and pizzerias. And of course, who can forget about those famous Italian desserts. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, step into a cafe and request a portion of tiramisu. However, for those who tend to stick with what they know, there is something to be said for their gelato (Italian ice cream). There is something for everyone in Rome, so it doesn't matter how fussy you are when it comes to food.
Whether you are intending to visit Rome as a couple, as a family or even as a group, there are many companies that are able to provide package deals for you to make your break perfect. You can have the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want as these deals can be tailored to suit your needs. After all, "when in Rome..."
