The Eternal City, Rome is the capital city of Italy and was once the capital of a vast Classical Empire.
In this vibrant city the Modern, the Classical, the Renaissance and the Baroque blend harmoniously together.
Rome is a mix of narrow back streets, pleasant piazzas, busy main streets, attractive parks and fashionable shops. Extensive excavations in the classical centre 'fire' the imagination.
The Vatican, a "city state within the city", is crowned by St Peter's, the monumental Basilica built to house the tomb of St Peter. Rome's prestigious past can be seen at every turn.
All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.
