Rome, the Eternal City, is a captivating blend of ancient history, magnificent architecture, vibrant culture, and modern life. As the capital of Italy and one of the most iconic cities in the world, Rome holds a special place in the hearts of travelers and history enthusiasts alike. Let's explore various aspects of Rome, including its history, landmarks, culture, cuisine, and more.History: Rome's history spans over 2,500 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. Founded according to legend in 753 BC by Romulus, Rome grew from a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River into a powerful empire that controlled much of the known world.Ancient Rome was a center of civilization, known for its monumental architecture, engineering feats, and contributions to law, art, and literature. The city was home to legendary figures such as Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Cicero, and witnessed events like the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, the Pax Romana, and the spread of Christianity.Landmarks: Rome is home to a wealth of historic landmarks and archaeological sites that bear witness to its illustrious past. The Colosseum, an iconic symbol of ancient Rome, is the largest amphitheater ever built and remains a testament to the city's grandeur and engineering prowess. The Roman Forum, once the heart of political, religious, and commercial life in ancient Rome, is a sprawling complex of ruins that offers insight into daily life in the ancient city.Other must-see landmarks include the Pantheon, a marvel of Roman engineering with its massive dome and oculus; the Vatican City, home to St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel adorned with Michelangelo's masterpiece; and the Trevi Fountain, a Baroque masterpiece that attracts millions of visitors each year.Culture: Rome's cultural heritage is evident in its art, architecture, music, and traditions. The city is home to world-class museums, galleries, and cultural institutions, including the Vatican Museums, the Capitoline Museums, and the Galleria Borghese.Rome's vibrant street life, bustling piazzas, and charming neighborhoods like Trastevere and Monti offer endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. From sampling authentic Roman cuisine at traditional trattorias to attending opera performances in historic theaters, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of the city.Cuisine: Roman cuisine is celebrated for its simplicity, freshness, and bold flavors. Staples of Roman cuisine include pasta dishes like cacio e pepe (pasta with cheese and pepper), carbonara (pasta with eggs, cheese, pancetta, and black pepper), and amatriciana (pasta with tomato sauce, pecorino cheese, and guanciale).Other culinary delights include supplì (fried rice balls with tomato sauce and mozzarella), Roman-style pizza with a thin crust and minimal toppings, and traditional Roman Jewish dishes like carciofi alla giudia (deep-fried artichokes) and baccalà (salted cod).In conclusion, Rome's timeless beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture make it a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world. Whether exploring ancient ruins, marveling at Renaissance art, or savoring delicious cuisine, visitors to Rome are sure to be captivated by the city's allure and charm.

Best Decision Ever!
I finally decided to stop making excuses and just go to Greece, whether or not I could find a travel buddy. Sally really helped ease my anxieties and fears about taking such a big trip alone, and after all that, once she heard about my awesome trip itinerary, my friend wanted to join me. We had the best time in Athens and the island hopping was other level awesome! Sally's hotel suggestions were on point, and the ferry tutorial was so helpful. I recommend Sally to anyone looking for the best travel agent!

Solo adventures are the best!
Sally is my now my go-to travel planner! All the thoughtful details and insider tips were fantastic. I appreciate that she really focuses on solo female travel safety and providing me with helpful suggestions on everything from packing to which tours to take. I loved my Finland/Estonia itinerary and am already thinking about where I want to go to next. Thanks, Ms. Sally!

Our Roman Holiday!
We had been wanting to explore Rome and the surrounding cities in Italy, but were feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the logistics. Sally swooped in and saved our trip! She was able to advise and suggest the most conveniently located hotels, as well as connect us with some really spectacular tours. Other than the excessive heatwave that was taking place while we were there, we loved our Rome vacation so much and can't wait to go back and explore more of Italy. Thanks so much for all your dedicated efforts, Sally!

Portugal Perfection!
We could have never planned our trip as well as Sally did! And she added some really fun surprises in as well. From the moment I first spoke with Sally and heard her enthusiasm for Portugal, I knew we had made the right choice in Travel Advisors. My girlfriend and I got to enjoy a totally stress-free vacation to Portugal, thanks to Sally's expert planning skills. From our flights to the hotels, we loved it all. Thank you, Sally!

Senior Travel at Its Best!
We are a 70+ couple and had been reading so much about Estonia, that we finally decided to look into it. Sally was so thoughtful and patient as we worked through all the options for traveling in this part of the world, keeping in mind that we are not young people. She looked after every detail, including securing a wheelchair for my wife at the airports. The hotels were all very accessible and accommodating to our mobility issues. Everyone was so kind and we loved all of our tours. We were absolutely thrilled with our visit to Tallinn and we owe it all to Sally. Thank you!
