ROME

ESCAPES TO ROME — WHERE HISTORY IS NOT DISPLAYED BUT LIVED AROUND

Rome is not a city where the past is behind glass — it rises out of the streets in full scale. You turn a corner and there is a column, a ruin, a fountain or a basilica that has been standing longer than entire countries. People walk their dogs past the Colosseum, drink espresso next to 2,000-year-old walls, and cross piazzas that emperors once used. Rome doesn’t feel like a history lesson — it feels like history is still breathing.

If you travel for the atmosphere and age you can feel, Rome never disappoints.

The everyday life here is what makes it memorable:
– Mornings spent standing at the bar for a fast cappuccino
– Afternoons wandering cobblestone alleys in Trastevere
– Piazzas where you sit for “five minutes” and end up staying an hour
– Churches that look plain outside but reveal gold and frescoes within
– Dinner stretching long into the night without anyone rushing you away

And Rome is also a gateway — to Florence, to the Amalfi Coast, to Tuscany, to Venice — but beginning here sets the tone: art, empire, religion, ritual and a way of living that has kept its identity through centuries.

Rome does not try to entertain you — it expects you to absorb it.
