Rome, Italy- Living la Dolce vita ( Living the sweet life)


Rome is a vibrant European capital with the unique appeal of being a vast outdoor museum recalling 3000 years of the history of Western Civilization. But although its ancient monuments and art treasures are what attract most visitors, the city also dazzles with the life in its beautiful piazzas filled with charming cafés and fantastic restaurants.
Take some time away from the major cultural sites, and experience Fellini's dolce vita with the beautifully dressed locals sipping espresso, by going on a major shopping spree, or enjoying the latest nightlife hotspot.
Forget Rome's image as a way-too-relaxed or even lazy city. Its bustling local life is now as big an attraction as its wealth of mesmerizing antiquity. Trastevere, Campo dei Fiore, and Testaccio attract young and hip crowds, and there is a thriving forward-thinking artistic community. Trendy new shops, restaurants, and contemporary cultural attractions such as the MACRO museum remind you that this is a city of the present and future, as much as it is of the past.

There are many places in Rome that can be visited by tourists. For example, tourists can admire the Sistine Chapel and some of the greatest art ever made inside the Vatican Museums. Besides, tourists also can see the Colosseum, one of the world's wonders.

If people think about shopping in Italy, and they should think Milan. But being the grand city that it is, Rome can also be a fantastic shopping experience. From the Spanish Steps, walk straight into Via Dei Condotti, lined with the well-known luxury names from Gucci to Prada. Similar high-end designer boutiques are found on the streets nearby (Via del Babuino,Via Borgognogna, and Via Frattina). Prices tend to be a little cheaper than in London or Paris, but they also tend to offer the same products you'd find in those other cities.

For some vintage shopping, pedestrianized Via del Governo Vecchio is lined with quality second-hand and avant-garde boutiques.
