Rome in a Day

Arriving early in the Eternal City, begin your day with a cappuccino and a buttery cornetto at a local pasticceria. From Termini, head straight to the Colosseum and explore the hypogeum for a unique view of Ancient Rome’s gladiatorial past. Wander through the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, soaking in millennia of history. Then stroll to Largo di Torre Argentina, where Julius Caesar met his end, now shared with a sanctuary of Rome’s beloved stray cats. For lunch, enjoy authentic Roman fare at La Buca di Ripetta – the bucatini all’Amatriciana is a must. Spend the afternoon wandering Via del Corso before retreating to the elegant Hotel Locarno. Unwind on the rooftop terrace as the sun dips below Rome’s terracotta skyline, a perfect end to a day steeped in history, cuisine, and timeless beauty

Around The Web

Northern Italy in Bloom

From late April to June, Northern Italy bursts into colour as towns create stunning floral carpets to celebrate Corpus Christi. Artists craft intricate petal mosaics, turning cobbled streets into vivid works of art in a joyful celebration of spring and faith

The Dome Illusion in Rome

At the Church of Saint Ignazio, Andrea Pozzo’s Baroque masterpiece uses painted perspective to mimic a grand dome, tricking the eye into seeing depth where there is none. Stand on the marble marker to witness this striking optical illusion in full effect

Sweet Heritage in the Roman Ghetto

Established in 1815, Pasticceria Boccione is a beloved kosher bakery famed for its cherry ricotta tart and rich Pizza Ebraica. Tucked away in Rome’s Jewish Quarter, its pastries have won acclaim - even from popes

Rome's Lively Market Square

Once a meadow, Campo de' Fiori is now a bustling market by day and vibrant bar hub by night. Famous for its Giordano Bruno statue and lack of a church, it's a lively stop near Piazza Navona

Ancient Arches and Untamed Beauty

A peaceful green haven between Via Appia and Via Tuscolana, this historic park showcases towering Roman aqueducts and scenic countryside. Walk among ancient ruins and wild landscapes once admired by artists and aristocrats

A Castle in Every Corner

Tucked away in the northeast corner of Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is one of the country’s most underrated regions. It borders Austria, Slovenia, and the Adriatic Sea, giving it a rich mix of cultures, languages, and traditions. Unlike Italy’s more famous regions, Friuli isn’t crowded with tourists - but it offers just as much beauty, history, and delicious food and wine.

This region is perfect if you want to explore a quieter side of Italy. You’ll find medieval castles on hilltops, vineyards stretching across the countryside, Alpine peaks, and seaside villages. The city of Trieste has a grand, old-world charm and a mix of Italian and Austro-Hungarian style. Udine and Gorizia are full of elegant squares, old castles, and excellent food. If you love nature, you can hike in the Julian Alps, relax on the beaches near Grado and Lignano, or bike through peaceful wine country
