Activities/Attractions: Rome seems to have its own gravitational pull, attracting not only millions of tourists each year, but also the most creative artists and thinkers of every era.

All that surrounds a visitor in Rome -- the stunning art and architecture, the terrible traffic, the grandeur of scale and the lively (almost hyper animated) citizens -- guarantees an unforgettable visit.

The ruins of pagan temples have become the foundation of Christian churches, ancient theaters have been made into medieval family fortresses, and Corinthian columns have become part of new walls. Layers of the ages exist, one on top of the other, but the flow of Roman life is ever forward, with a respect for its glorious past. You could spend a full day seeing everything in the area of the ancient center:

• the Michelangelo designed Campidoglio
  
• the Palatine Hill (with its charming little museum)
  
• the Roman Forum
  
• the nearby Colosseum
  

The basilicas take a little longer because they are spread out around the city. If it's views you're after, climb the dome of St. Peter's or admire the panorama from the top of the Spanish Steps (better yet, from the Pincio Gardens above it) at sunset, or walk around the Colosseum to catch a glimpse of the Forum. From these vantage points you'd well understand why Rome is called the Eternal City.

Bustling, beautiful Rome, sprawling among its seven hills, is fascinating for both its ancient and its modern wonders. The B&B is very well connected to the downtown by the urban up train north-line which allows you to reach the RAI Center in 5 minutes and the downtown in 15 minutes.
