Rome, the nation's capital, is a diverse metropolis steeped in a long cultural heritage. The Vatican City, an independent nation, is located inside the boundaries of this city, which is situated in the center of the Italian peninsula on the western bank of the river Tiber. The city holds a significant place in Western history and is home to almost as many cultural and historic landmarks as residents.

Rome has a claim to being the birthplace of Western civilization. The city, which served as the capital of the Roman Republic, Roman Kingdom, and Roman Empire, is now ranked as the 14th most visited country in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the Colosseum's remains or on Palatine Hill, one can get a sense of the strength and grandeur of the former Roman Empire. Nobody can leave Rome without seeing the Sistine Chapel because of the outstanding beauty of the artifacts in the Vatican museums!

While a trip to the Vatican would reveal the city's strong Christian heritage, those with a greater sense of adventure can explore whatever lies within the San Calisto catacombs! The city's most often-used language is Italian. However, due to increasing tourism, the majority of tour guides and employees in the service industry are fluent in English.

Around the Spanish Steps and Via Condetti, stores are lining the streets. Among them are well-known brands and fashion houses like Gucci, Armani, and Prada. You should visit Campo de' Fiori and Piazza Navona if you want to see high fashion and emerging designers.

However, Porto Portese Flea Market is the place to go if you're searching for a deal. One of the biggest flea markets in the nation, and undoubtedly the biggest in the city, is this one. Antiques can be found in abundance along Via Giulia, Via del Babuino, and Via del Governo Vecchio.
