Rome

Our first trip is a great way to start off this amazing vacation. Romes history is really interesting. Evidence of stone tools, pottery and stone weapons attest to at least 10000 years of human presence. One of the symbols of Rome is the Colosseum (70–80 AD), the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. Rome is a city famous for its numerous fountains, built in all different styles, from Classical and Medieval, to Baroque and Neoclassical. Public parks and nature reserves cover a large area in Rome, and the city has one of the largest areas of green space amongst European capitals. Often overlooked, Rome's medieval heritage is one of the largest in Italian cities. Rome is a nation-wide and major international centre for higher education. It boasts a large variety of academies and colleges, and has been a major worldwide intellectual and educational centre, especially during the Renaissance, along with Florence.
