Buy airline tickets for Rome to explore one of Europe's most iconic cities. The historic centre is packed with monuments like the Colosseum, and art treasures at the Vatican. Via Condotti is the home of chic Italian shopping.

Things to do

A flight to Rome transports you to the ancient Roman Forum and the secret Catacombs of San Callisto. The Galleria Borghese is a showcase for fine art, and the winding streets of Trastevere are full of historic atmosphere.

Shopping

Via Condotti offers designer boutiques, while small side streets have charming independent stores and Porta Portese flea market sells everything. Accessories like bags and belts make great buys – leather workshops still exist in areas like Trastevere.

Restaurants

Take early flights to Rome and you could be enjoying pasta in a Trastevere trattoria by dinnertime. The streets around Piazza Navona offer bustling pizzerias, San Lorenzo has trendy restaurants, and Testaccio traditional Roman fare.

Nightlife

On a city break in Rome, sip cocktails in cafés near Campo de' Fiori, or dance till dawn at a club in lively Testaccio. When booking a Rome flight, also buy tickets to the opera, or a jazz night at Alexanderplatz.

When to go
