Rome, the eternal city, is a place where history, art and culture come together in a way found nowhere else in the world. Walking through the city, you literally step through the centuries: from the imposing Colosseum and the Roman Forum, where gladiators and emperors wrote their stories, to the elegant Spanish Steps and the baroque splendour of the Trevi Fountain.
No visit to Rome is complete without an exploration of the Vatican. Here you will find the impressive St Peter's Basilica, the imposing St Peter's Square and Michelangelo's world-famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican Museum also houses an unrivalled collection of art and history that reflects the soul of Italy.
The Pantheon, with its unique dome and open oculus, and charming neighbourhoods like Trastevere, full of narrow streets and lively squares, will also introduce you to the authentic Italian atmosphere. Rome is not only a city of monuments, but also of lively street life, markets, terraces and endless culinary discoveries.
For photography, Rome offers an inexhaustible source of inspiration: warm evening light that makes the ancient stones glow, bustling piazzas full of life and iconic sights that exude power, history and romance. Printed on canvas, metal or glass, you bring the magic of Rome straight into your home.
