WELCOME TO ROME

Eternal city. Exuberant feast for the eyes, soul and stomach. Vespas parked by Baroque portals. Evocative ruins. Valentino models and Raphael madonnas. Strong espresso and delectable gelato. Visitors, artists and pilgrims have been flocking here since antiquity. With Eyewitness Top 10 Rome, its yours to experience.

Once the most powerful city in the world, Rome has been 2,800 years in the making. Ancient Roman columns are embedded in Renaissance palazzo walls, Egyptian obelisks are recycled in Baroque fountains and Christian churches have been built over pagan temples. Experience the city purposefully by exploring the Forum or the Vatican, or sample it casually while pausing under the Pantheons massive portico (providing shade since AD 125) or going for a spin around Berninis fountains on Piazza Navona, once Emperor Domitians racetrack.

Despite its heritage, Rome feels nothing like a dusty museum, mostly thanks to its flamboyant citizens who live much of their life outdoors in cafs and piazzas, negotiating cobbled alleyways, going for their passeggiata and always intent on fare la bella figura that very Italian concept of looking fabulous and making an impression.

Whether you are coming for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything that Rome has to offer, from grand sights such as the Sistine Chapel and Colosseum and tiny piazzas and views you will never forget to stupendous works by Michelangelo and Caravaggio hidden away in churches and the best spots for pizza al taglio and hearty Roman cuisine. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to avoiding the crowds, plus 11 easy-to-follow itineraries, designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book and enjoy Rome.

The Vatican is the worlds smallest nation, covering just 50 ha (120 acres), and is a theocracy of just over 550 citizens, headed by the Pope, but its sightseeing complex is beyond compare. Within its wall are the ornate St Peters Basilica, the astonishing Sistine Chapel, apartments frescoed by Fra Angelico, Raphael and Pinturicchio, and some 10 museums. The latter include collections of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities; Paleochristian, Renaissance and modern art; and a world-class ethnographic collection.
