Rome, the eternal capital of Italy, is an open-air museum where ancient ruins, Renaissance art, and lively piazzas coexist at every turn.

When to go
Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer warm, comfortable weather and are the most rewarding times to visit. Summer is hot and crowded, with many locals away in August, while winter is cool, quieter, and atmospheric. The shoulder seasons balance pleasant temperatures with manageable crowds.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Rome sees seasonal nonstop service from Toronto and Montreal, but from most Canadian cities you will make one transatlantic connection, sometimes through a European hub, depending on your departure city. These eastbound flights are usually overnight, landing in the morning. Plan around the layover and the time difference.
What to see and do
- Exploring the Colosseum and Roman Forum
- Visiting Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica
- Tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain
- Savouring fresh pasta and gelato in Trastevere
Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro, and cards are accepted, though cash is handy for small cafés and tips. The historic centre is best explored on foot, with an inexpensive metro, trams, and buses filling in longer trips and the Free Now app handy for a taxi, so skip a rental car since central traffic and parking are a nightmare. Carry water in summer, watch your belongings around crowded landmarks, and note that a small tip or rounding up is appreciated but not expected.
