My Dream Rome Vacation: Top Spots I’m Looking Forward to Seeing

Roman Holiday, The Red Danube, The Talented Mr. Ripley, When in Rome – these are just some of the films set in Rome which turned it into my dream vacation destination. I have yet to book a flight to the Eternal City, but I have already compiled a list of the Rome vacation spots that I am looking forward to seeing.

Top Spots to Visit in Rome

The first things that usually come to mind when you mention a Rome vacation are explorations of the famous city of the Roman Empire. Roma is the capital and the largest city in Italy where everyone gets to live La Dolce Vita. The centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and this is the place that my heart is set to see. Some of the must-visit spots here include the site of the ruins in the Colosseo. It’s said to connect the Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum, with the structure being built as far back as the early 1930s.

The Pantheon which dates back to 125 A.D. is another thing that I’m looking forward to seeing. There’s also the Seven Hills of Rome, the piazzas and the sumptuous local cuisine that I’m looking forward to sampling.

Other Events Held in Rome that You Should Not Miss

Now, if you’ve already had your fill of some of the most famed tourist attractions in Rome, there are events that you absolutely should not skip. Schedule your Rome vacation in time for these events so that you can have your fill of everything that the city and its people have to offer:

The La Festa di San Silvestro

If you would like to welcome the New Year in the Eternal City, you’ll be just in time for this luscious feast in Rome. Fireworks will usher in the New Year at the Piazza del Popolo, and you can have your fill of delicious Italian wines.

The Rome Film Festival and the Rome Jazz Festival

Held annually every October, the Rome Film Festival showcases hundreds of local films from Italy and around the world. During your Rome vacation, you can also enjoy jazz music during the jazz festival. Famous jazz singers and musicians from all over the globe flock to the city to enjoy a common interest which is music.

These and more are the events that you should definitely look forward to when visiting Rome. If you’re anything like me, book a flight now and have a grand time exploring one of the best and most beautiful cities in the world.
