The capital of Italy, Rome is one of the world’s top travel destinations. It’s easy to know why. Nicknamed the “Eternal City”, it’s been around for literally 2,500 years, its history spanning from Antiquity through the Renaissance to today. It’s a magnificent place, home to arguably more world-famous landmarks than any other city on Earth. If you, while visiting Rome, want to explore the city stress-free, joining a Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour is a good idea.
