Rome. A city of history, like walking through layers of time. From the floor of the Colosseum where gladiators fought, to the genteel halls of the Vatican with its beautiful Sistine Chapel ceiling, Rome is at once a city of chic and glamour and at the same time firmly rooted in tradition and faith. Take a day to explore on foot, from the Colosseum through the Forum, past the "Wedding Cake" monument, flip a coin in the Trevi Fountain, sip a coffee in Piazza Navona, and finish in the cradle of the great open square of Vatican City. From top brands to bargain packed stalls, don't miss the shopping around the Spanish Steps. Explore the beautiful peninsula of the Amalfi coast from the tourist hub of Sorrento. Popular since the Roman times when the well of heel escaped from the summer heat of Rome to the magnificent refuge of the Costiera Amalfitana, this area has managed to retain its cobbled streets, alleyways and palazzo's. Take a day tour to Positano, Ravello and Amalfi. And be sure to sample the wonderful seafood, wine and famous limoncella lemon liqueur.
