Rome & Lazio
Ancient Icons
Rome's ancient centre is history in 3D. Romulus killed Remus on the Palatino (Palatine
Hill), Christians were fed to lions in the Colosseum and emperors soaked at the Terme di
Caracalla. Ponder the remains of the great and the good in the catacombs along Via Appia
Antica.
Robust Feasting
The Roman palate favours earthy old-school flavours such as pig's cheek, offal, salt cod
and
bucatini all'amatriciana
(pasta with tomato, pancetta and chilli-peppers), but that's not
to say that dining out is provincial. New-school chefs lend a contemporary twist to stalwart
staples.
Museums & Galleries
The breadth of cultural treasures housed in Rome's countless museums and galleries is,
quite frankly, embarrassing.
