Rome

Rome

Rome was founded 2,500 years ago on seven small hills in the plains of the lower Tiber River in central-western Italy, covering an urban area of over 1,200 square kilometers. It is the capital of Italy and the country's political, economic, cultural, and transportation hub. It is a world-renowned historic and cultural city and a top tourist destination. Rome is the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire, the center of the Italian Renaissance, and one of the few cities that remained unscathed during World War II. To this day, it still preserves a wealth of ancient Renaissance and Baroque architecture, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Here, the ancient city lies to the north and the modern city to the south, where the ancient blends with the mystique of history, and the modern exudes the charm of antiquity — an exquisite fusion of old and new. On the ruins of the ancient capital stand world-famous landmarks such as the Imperial Senate, triumphal arches, victory columns, the Pantheon, and the Colosseum, making it a true treasure trove of art. In the new city, romantic cafés, quaint taverns, and trendy shopping centers line the streets and alleys, always bustling with people. Whether you want to soak in the modern vibe or explore historical traces along ancient ruins, Rome’s unique charm will surely leave you satisfied.
