Rome is known as a city full of luxury, so strolling around the Piazza di Spagna with plenty of boutiques and exclusive shops will be a delight for anyone looking to snap up a few holiday purchases. Many antique shops and stores selling leather items and glassware are to be found at Via Margutta, Via del Corso and Via del Banbuino.

If you are looking to take in the vibrant and more colourful atmosphere of Italy's capital, head for the lively markets in the city centre.

Piazza di Spagna - Spanish Steps - Via dei Condotti

This street is one of the best streets for shopping in Rome and one of the richest streets in Italy.

Via del Corso

Via del Corso is popular with tourists and locals. The bustling pedestrianised street runs from Piazza del Popolo down to Piazza Venezia.

Al Picchio

This place is known to serve delicious food at surprisingly decent prices. The restaurant sits just a minute away from the Trevi Fountain and guests are likely to enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, especially in the cavern-style part of this eatery. Mouth-watering traditional Italian dishes, such as bruschetta to start, risotto for the main course and tiramisu for dessert are served by the very friendly staff.

Ristorante Cesare

This marvelous restaurant has been known as a fantastic place to enjoy Italian food since 1965. Using only carefully selected ingredients for every special plate, dishes appear to be nothing short of perfect. High quality food, such as pizzas garnished with top quality mozzarella, pasta accompanied by parmesan chosen from local producers and mouth-watering desserts is served in a welcoming atmosphere.

Il Convivio

This is one of the most popular restaurants in the capital. The place holds a Michelin star and is set in a welcoming white 16^th-century building. Cuisine is based on the finest fresh ingredients from local markets, including dishes such as caramelized tuna fish with chestnut honey, ginger and green apple mash or spaghetti served with a ragout of sole, artichokes and tune roe, breast of guinea fowl in a mustard crust or salt cod confit with tomatoes, spring onions, olives, Jerusalem artichokes, and eggplant.

Panattoni - 53 Viale di Trastevere

A buzzing, friendly pizzeria in the beautiful district of Trstevere. The thin-base Roman style pizzas are the speciality.

L'Antico Moro - 61-62 Via del Moro

This is a non touristy authentic Roman Restaurant in the heart of Trastevere. Great antipasti and superb pasta are served.

Lisca - 62-64 Via Guglielmo Calderini

This Italian restaurant is maybe a bit pricy but definitely worth it. The restaurant serves sushi and sashimi as well as delicious Italian cuisine.

A definite must-see is the Colosseum. This iconic building creates a special ambience which transports guests back centuries ago, when the impressive structure was home to brutal battles between man and beast.

Go up to the top of the striking Basilica of St Peter's and enjoy a breath-taking panorama of the city. The spectacular interior was designed by Michelangelo.

Several nativity scenes (presepi) can be seen in most churches and in some of Rome's more prominent civic spaces (St Peter's Square, the Spanish Steps etc.).

Throw a coin in Rome's most spectacular fountain, the Trevi Fountain and see whether your wish will come true…

The Vatican Museum: Alongside the Sistine Chapel other rooms such as the Gallery of Maps and the Room of the Immaculate Conception will make for a fascinating visit.

Parioli is a district just north of the city centre where many of the city's wealthier citizens live. It is a good place to have lunch or a coffee in one of the many bars and restaurants and maybe follow that with a stroll over the lovely Villa Ada park on a sunny day.
