Holidays in Rome for Groups and Families
Rome is a city where you can walk anywhere in the city center and this is the best way to visit the city. Wondering through Rome’s old historical center is one of the most exciting experiences when in Rome.
Explore the magnificent buildings and their architecture, take in the street life, visit hundreds of churches as you stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets, go window shopping, and walk into any caf?-bar for that taste of capuccino flavor. Our advise is to start early in the moring and get ready for a long walk with a pair of comfortable shoes.
You can easily see several of the main most visited sites in a few hours.
If you are planning on bringing your children to Rome, the best times are early spring or late fall, when the weather is just perfect.
Italians love to have children around and be sure that your children will be made very welcome everywhere you go. Children are warmly welcome in Pizzerias and trattorias where high chairs are often available for toddles and babies.
Most of these places don’t rule out the fact that children eat only half-portions or share meals. The most amusing pizzerias for kids are the old fashioned ones. Here they can watch the chefs pound, stretch, and flip the though in the air which is something different they will always remember!
Nightlife in Rome is exciting and in latest years the number places to hangout and clubs have increased and are focusing on a more demanding clientele.
In Testaccio area you will easily find all the best tastes for all budgets and a wide variety of places. Another equally popular activity is to simply relax with friends and enjoy a good bottle of wine in the so-called “enoteche” (wine bars)located in any of the historic center’s beautiful squares.
Jazz, Rock, Folk, South American and world music are popular cultural events which you will easily find in the many venues scattered around in the city center
