Rome – the eternal city at the heart of history

Cultural treasures, countless trattorias, and the best ice cream in the world. What more could you wish for? How about paying a visit to the Pantheon or having lunch at the Piazza Navona? The city to which all roads lead has many beautiful squares from which to watch the bustle of Roman life. From the Piazza del Quirinale there is a breathtaking view of St. Peter’s dome.

Give your happiness a helping hand: instead of tossing coins out the window, toss them into the Trevi fountain! Book your next flight to the Eternal City, with Germanwings of course, because there’s no cheaper way to fly.

SHOPPING

Rome is not the shopping centre that Milan is, but it more than holds its own as a shopping destination compared to most European cities. As you'd expect fashion is big business, this is Italy after all, but all manner of upmarket gear besides clothes is sold in the city.

Via del Corso, which runs from Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo, aims at high street fashion. Halfway down is Rinascente, one of Rome's few clothing department stores. Meanwhile affordable designer clothing is available in shops like Strada, Gruppo Clark, Trussardi and Max Mara.
