What to do in Rome

Rome, the capital of Italy, is an ancient city with nearly three millennia of history. Known for its unparalleled concentration of historical, artistic, and architectural treasures, it hosts iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and St. Peter's Basilica within Vatican City, an independent state surrounded by Rome itself.

General

Rome's history spans over 2,800 years, beginning with its legendary founding in 753 BC. It served as the capital of the Roman Kingdom, Republic, and Empire, shaping Western civilization through its contributions to law, politics, architecture, and culture. The city also became the seat of the Papacy from the 2nd century AD and continued to thrive as the capital of the Papal States until Italy's unification in 1870. Today, Rome blends its rich ancient heritage with vibrant modern life and remains an essential center for religion, art, and tourism. The presence of Vatican City, the world's smallest independent state, adds a unique spiritual dimension to its global significance.

OrbiGuide has completely changed the way I travel. Planning is now effortless, and with audio guides I experience my trips in a whole new way. On trips without it, I honestly missed it. Loving this app!

My experience with OrbiGuide has been amazing! I recently took a trip to Portugal and used the app from north to south. Not only could I easily create tours, but I also discovered places that weren’t even on my itinerary. The app is super intuitive, easy to use, and offers a wide variety of activities in each city. Plus, every spot has an audio guide that explains a bit of its history. I highly recommend it!
