Things To Do In Rome

Rome is the city where the popular saying ‘A lifetime is not enough’ accurately highlights the almost infinite things to learn, see and do. The three star Hotel Virgilio is an excellent place where you can relax and base your adventure in the Eternal City of Rome. It is located in the historic centre and close to the top monuments. Here are some of the most important highlights that the Hotel Virgilio Rome recommends doing:

St Peter’s Dome offers an unrivalled view of Rome. Michelangelo’s architectural masterpiece is 119 metres high. Look down onto Piazza San Pietro, Bernini’s masterpiece square. An obelisk brought to Rome from ancient Egypt stands in the centre of the immense square. The Vatican Museums are well worth seeing and include an incredible collection of art and treasure accumulated by the popes. Don’t miss the Sistine Chapel completed in 1484 representing one of the most awe-inspiring acts of artistic creativity in recorded history.

The Imperial Forum is only 8 minutes walking distance from the hotel and consists of various monuments, ruins and column dating as far back as the 42BC to AD 112. The forum lies around the thoroughfare which links Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. Piazza Venezia is overshadowed by the popular Vittoriano monument commonly dubbed the ‘typewriter’ or ‘wedding cake’ and home to the Alter of the Fatherland and art exhibitions.
