Special Places To See On A Trip To Rome

If you are planning a trip to Rome, make sure you have more than just a weekend for the trip. Try not to cram a trip to Rome along with some more trips, unless you are planning a month long Euro trip. Rome is a beautiful city. It is filled with attractions. You will be faced with a difficult but happy choice of selecting the locations that you will check out in the beginning. There are numerous attractions in the city and each one is worth a visit. So, before you embark on the task of finding the list of attractions you are going to visit during your journey to Rome, let us take a look at the hotels and other accommodation options available in the city. 5 star hotel in Rome is available in plenty. If you are looking for the best in the class 5 star hotel should be the ideal choice, such as Palazzo Manfredi. They might seem a little too costly for some; but then, there are special discounts and offers available as well. Advance booking of more than 2 months is generally treated under early bird bookings and given special privilege and discounts. It is also advisable to check out the offers being provided at the official website itself. This is mainly because of the fact that in most cases the major hotel chains offer extra and exclusive rates to those who are finalizing their booking using the official web portal. 

While planning the trip of Rome it is quite common to be confused about which places to visit at first and which to visit next. To begin with, it will be ideal to book a trip to Vatican City. It is one of the most enigmatic of all places in the Italian capital. It can be said to be home to the head Catholic Church in the world. One of the very little known facts is that Vatican City is actually the smallest country in the world. It is a state-city. There are many attractions within the walls of the Vatican City. The Vatican Museum is a grand place to be in and it will be a good idea to keep some time aside to enjoy the various artefacts displayed within the museum. The Vatican City is one of the most intricately designed cities in the world and everything seems to be in perfect symmetry. There are some more attractions within the walls of the city as well. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel are two most popular tourist attractions. The St. Peter’s Square lying just at the front of St. Peter’s Basilica is the holy place for the Catholics. It is the place where you will find thousands of followers standing with bated breath waiting for the white smoke to rise and the new Pope to be elected. If you are a Dan Brown fan, you will already have enough introductions about the various architectural and artistic inscriptions on various parts of the Vatican City (though, do not believe in the points which you will not be able to see for yourself). 

Besides the Vatican City, Rome is home to some other fabulous attractions as well. The Colosseum, Leaning Tower, and Pompeii are some of the notable attractions you can visit in and around Rome. Plan your trip in advance and enjoy the show.
