A Hotel in Rome is the Place for a Perfect Holiday - By: Gareth Hoyle1

Rome is a city famous for its ancient monuments and churches, so if you are looking for the perfect holiday destination you need look no further than a Rome hotel to explore this magnificent city and its surroundings.

Rome is a city for tourists. If you are staying in a Rome hotel in the centre of this lovely city, you are perfectly placed to see its sights. Ancient Rome abounds, from the Coliseum and the Pantheon to the Forum, the marketplace of Ancient Rome. You can travel on a boat trip down the Tiber, or visit one of the many museums and art galleries.

Rome has a beauty all its own, which is partly due to its architecture. There are many beautiful side streets where the small hotels and wine bars are, as well as larger open areas where you can sit to watch the world go by. Much of its beauty is in its magnificent churches.

Not to be missed is a visit to the Vatican, and the magnificent Renaissance art of Michelangelo and Raphael, seen as it should be seen, alive and vibrant. Though technically a city in its own right, the Vatican is situated in the heart of Rome, and you can even stay in a hotel in this holy city, so that you could walk out of your hotel doorway and be greeted by the sight of St Peter's Basilica in the early morning light.

Near to Rome is the lost city of Pompeii, covered in volcanic ash and recently excavated. This is a unique trip where you can see both the houses and the people of this lost township preserved for ever by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Most Rome hotels have details of day trips and many will arrange these for you. You are also only a day trip away from the Amalfi coast, right by the sea.

A holiday in Rome is less expensive than you might think, compared to many European cities, as the Rome itself is compact, most places being within walking distance in the city itself and many of the attractions being free to look at and admire. One of Rome's best activities, that of people watching, is also free or only the price of an espresso in one of the many cafe bars. A hotel in Rome can also be very reasonable, there is a wide variety available from magnificent five star luxury hotels to the simple family run hotel on a side street.

So, if you go to Rome, find your perfect hotel and throw three coins in the Trevi Fountain, to ensure you come back.
