Top luxury attractions and activities in Rome

In Rome, ancient history beautifully intertwines with modern life. With its iconic landmarks and charming neighbourhoods, this remarkable city offers an unforgettable experience for luxury travellers.

Immerse yourself in Rome's rich past by starting your day with breakfast overlooking the Colosseum at the elegant Palazzo Manfredi’s Aroma rooftop restaurant. Afterwards, delve into this magnificent gladiatorial amphitheatre, dating back to AD 80, where warriors once battled in gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and public spectacles. Next to the Colosseum, you'll find the impressive Roman Forum and Palatine Hill; it's well worth touring all three archaeological sites on the same day to grasp the scale of this ancient civilisation.

Dedicate another day to exploring more of Rome's historical gems. Visit the immense Vittoriano, and explore the ancient Catacombs of San Callisto and San Sebastiano. Discover the grandeur of the Baths of Diocletian and marvel at the almost 2,000-year-old Corinthian columns of the exceptionally well-preserved Pantheon.

Exploring Rome on foot allows you to find countless charming spots to wander. Romantic people-watching spots include the glorious Baroque Piazza Navona and the 17th-century Via Margutta, a beautiful cobblestoned street that was once home to Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini and American novelist Truman Capote. Today, this picturesque street is lined with art galleries and delightful restaurants.

Take a stroll along Via di San Giovanni in Laterano, which connects the Basilica di San Giovanni (a remarkable church originally dating back to the 4th century, with layers of architecture spanning up to the 18th century) to the iconic Colosseum. For a well-deserved treat, make your way to the grandiose Piazza di Spagna for a photo opportunity on the famed 18th-century Spanish Steps, before throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain which, according to local lore, will bring you back to Rome again.

If you fancy a break from ancient sites, dedicate a day to retail therapy and relaxation. Walk along Via del Corso, where upscale high-street stores sit alongside luxurious boutiques and the flagship Ferrari store. From here, you'll find Via del Babuino, home to Jo Malone and Tiffany & Co. Peruse Via Condotti for high-end designer goods or head to Mercato Monti Market for vintage finds. Then enjoy a picnic in the beautiful gardens of Villa Borghese or cycle up Via Appia Antica, a stunning straight road stretching south of Rome, lined with monumental structures and ancient tombs.

No first-time visit to Rome is complete without a trip to the smallest independent state in the world, Vatican City (pre-booking is highly recommended), which is home to the Holy See, the central governing authority of the Catholic Church. You’ll be able to find St. Peter’s Basilica with its spellbinding dome, guarded by the Pontifical Swiss Guard, famously known as the world’s smallest army. Alongside Michelangelo’s magnificent Sistine Chapel and his mesmerising Pietà.
