Things To Do And See When In Italy

Italy's northern region, the valley of the Po is the centre of agriculture. The greater part of the country is the Apennin Peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea. Rome-Fiumicino Airport is the sixth busiest airport in Europe. Millions of tourists pass this airport every year and most of them decide to pick up their favourite car rental at the Fiumicino airport upon arrival.

Rome is an overwhelming tourist attraction, the capital of the Roman Empire, a city of 2500 years of civilization. Even the ancient city centre is so large that discovering the city can be very exhausting for those who attempt to visit the landmarks on foot in the heat.  Car rental in Rome is much easier but be aware of the energetic driving style of the Italians. If you go on foot, it might take significantly more time to cover the distances from one side of the city to another.

You might want to start your journey near the Vatican, then drive along Castel Saint Angelo through the bridge. Then visit the Villa Borghese, Piazza Navona, Parthenon, Piazza del Parlamento, Piazza Colonna, the lovely Galleria Alberto Sorgi. Then drive to the eye-popping Trevi Fountain, the Capitoline Hill. Enter the breathtaking Forum Romanum and take some lovely photos of the ancient monuments. Then you might visit the Colosseum and the southern parts of the city and the iconic Circus Maximus.
