Rome

Day 1 - 5

Experience Rome, the bustling capital of Italy. This city, rich with exciting history and culture, offers an unparalled mix of ancient explorations and modern living. Immerse yourself in the past and explore the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican. Wander through other must-see destinations like The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. Experiencing the culinary scene is a delight, from traditional pasta to world-renowned Italian gelati. You can explore daily markets such as Campo de' Fiori for local ingredients and fresh food. A stay in Rome promises great experiences all year round, but it is advisable to take seasonality into account. While spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) offer pleasant weather and less crowds, summer (June–August) has a lively, spirited atmosphere — but can also be hot. No matter when you go, visiting Rome promises an unforgettable journey through the centuries. The unique combination of a rich historical past mixed into a thriving and vibrant modern community makes Italy's Eternal City one of the world's most intriguing and inspiring tourist destinations.

Organization from the rental car to the hotels to the airport transfer was once again excellent. The selected hotels (some with family connections) were individual, very nice and characterized by extremely nice and service-oriented staff. The guided tours were great - very nice guides who also responded to individual wishes. We will definitely book through Tourlane again!

From the advice and planning to the support and handling of the preliminary work to the services that exceeded our expectations (flights, hotels, rental car...), everything was to our utmost satisfaction. Thank goodness we did not have to use the emergency numbers provided. We had a wonderful, stress-free vacation! Thanks to the Tourlane team!
