As the the seat of the Italian government and home to the Pope and the Vatican, Rome is a city with genuine capital credentials. The city is also a glorious architectural patchwork, a living masterpiece, sedate yet chaotic, full of charm and life.
Remains from the imperial glory days include the monumental Colosseum, the Foro Romano (Roman Forum), and the awe-inspiring Pantheon - a complete Roman temple, preserved as a church. Renaissance riches are concentrated within the centro storico (historic centre), where the stadium-sized Piazza Navona, sweepingly romantic Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain all lie within walking distance of each other.
Across the river, to the west, lies the Vatican State - home to the Pope, the spiritual centre of the Roman Catholic Church, and the Sistine Chapel.
Rome's embarrassment of riches means that visitors have to pick and choose or end up footsore and frazzled. Bear in mind that the Vatican City alone can easily swallow up an entire weekend. The most relaxing and rewarding approach is to linger over a few monuments and museums rather than attempting to see it all, punctuating cultural trips with ice creams, coffees and serene walks in the city's parks.
