Rome

“A poem pressed into service as a city.”
When you visit Rome, you'll understand Anatole Broyard's words.

Video about Rome

The capital of Italy is a vibrant, energetic, and stylish city. While thoroughly modern in sensibility, Rome is home to some of the world’s most important works of classic art and architecture. This city has been an epicenter of culture, politics, and religion for more than 2,500 years. Of course, the museums are fantastic. Think of the Colosseum and the many traces of Ancient Rome, the Spanish Steps, and the Vatican. There are more than enough sights to keep even the most active tourists busy in Rome. Even somewhere as popular as Rome you can find places just off the tourist trail and bustling with locals.

It’s also nice to slow down and enjoy Rome’s famous cafes and restaurants. They can be just as beguiling as the buildings. Lounge with an espresso on the Campo de Fiori and watch the changing light on the fountains and facades in a piazza. Visit the Vatican and explore some of the world’s most beautiful churches. Rome really comes alive at night. That's when restaurants and wine bars bring a renewed vitality to the city. You can also take day trips from Rome to local vineyards, olive groves, and other places producing regional delicacies. No matter your interests, Rome will be an enjoyable destination whether you're visiting for the first, or fifth, time.

What I love about Rome

Marketing Director

Each time I return to Rome I fall in love with the city a little more. There's just so much to discover it doesn't matter if it's your first or tenth visit. I love staying in the Monti area, still packed with local life, small trattorias, up & coming designer shops yet a stone's throw from the colosseum.

Where to stay in Rome

With thousands of hotels in the city and not knowing the neighborhoods it can be hard to pick where to stay. We've mostly concentrated our accommodation selection around Rome's "modern" city center for those who prefer to be closer to attractions such as the Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona, as well as the Monti neighborhood. A valiant holdout against Rome's mass tourism, this little pocket of small streets, local restaurants, bars, and boutique shops is the ideal area to stay in if you're seeking something more authentic. Whichever part of Rome you prefer to temporarily call home, we've chosen some outstanding properties, from 3 to 5 stars, many with terraces affording spectacular views across the rooftops of Rome. Once we start preparing your customized itinerary we will present our recommended options for you to select from.

Things to do in Rome

There are a thousand and one things to do in Rome and there's always something new to see whether it's your first time of tenth time in the eternal city. We can arrange private and group tours of all the major sights, a general overview or an in-depth look at something that particularly interests you. Rome's Jewish Ghetto neighborhood, for example, provides a rich backdrop to a tour focused on Jewish Rome. If you'd like to get out of the city, Rome is surrounded by a number of interesting places, from Castelli Romani or Ostia Antica, to Tivoli and Villa d'Este. When we send you your customized itinerary you will be able to choose additional excursions to include in your vacation package or consider adding later. Whether you need day trips with a guide, just transport, or information to go and explore on your own, we're here to help.

The Rome driver was masterful. Could not believe how he drove with such ease in tight spots. All drivers were informative and excellent. We felt we learned even more on this trip than a previous trip 20 years ago. The guides were excellent and would highly recommend each of them. JayWay is a great way to get a framework for your trip--nice hotels in excellent locations, just the right amount of tours for your preferences. Excellent people to work with in planning the trip and once on location--both from JayWay and the guides.

All tours in Rome were excellent! Wish we had high speed trains in America! It was so easy to get from city to city! We are already considering using them more next trip. Rome was incredible. We walked around a ton and there was nothing cooler than coming around a corner and running into an amazing ruin or a beautiful church. We looked at a lot of options for our trip and Jayway was the perfect fit for us! They covered all the must-dos on our list but left plenty of time for exploring on our own as well.
