Through many hardships, disasters, wars, and uprisings, Rome has persevered and earned its title as the "Eternal City." This nickname gives away a big clue as to what tourists can expect because although it is now home to more than three million people, its history, monuments, and many museums have been well preserved. Some of Rome's most beloved and visited historical sites include the Colosseum and the Pantheon.

These sites were funded because Rome was the cultural center of the ancient world. At the time, these monuments were unrivaled in complexity and scale, and nowadays, they are still some of the most complex buildings in the world, with the amphitheater still being the largest in the world 2000 years later.

Structural history aside, Rome was also a major Renaissance center and the birthplace of the Baroque style and Neoclassicism, which have left their mark on this city's identity. The ingenious work of Michaelangelo can be seen throughout the city, from Saint Peter's Basilica and the painting adorning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to sculptures scattered throughout Rome's many churches. Not to mention the perfect geometry of the Piazza del Campidoglio, which can only be believed when seen.

Rome is also home to numerous breathtaking museums, such as the Palazzo Barberini Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, the Vatican Museums, the Musei Capitolini, and the Borghese Gallery. These museums exhibit everything from striking Roman sculptures and paintings to incredible artifacts steeped in historical importance.

Yet, not all of Romes's culture lies in its art and architecture. Its cuisine is some of the best in the world. The cuisine here pays homage to the rich tapestry of Italian ingredients, preserving recipes that have stood the test of time for centuries. Take cacio e pepe, for example. It's a venerable pasta dish that traces its origins to the days of nomadic shepherds, who relied on just four essential ingredients to provide them with a meal as they traversed the hills.

Another classic is carciofi alla giudea, fried artichokes with roots stretching back to the 16th century when the Pope confined Rome's Jewish community to a ghetto. And who could forget carbonara, arguably Rome's most famous culinary creation? Though it emerged relatively recently, in the mid-20th century, Romans take immense pride in its global popularity, making it a must-have during any visit, with locals insisting you experience it in its authentic form.

With breathtaking scenery, immersive historical and cultural attractions, magnificent art, and delicious food, Rome is worth visiting when traveling from Positano, whether for a day trip or a longer stay.

Here you’ll find a slew of some of the city’s oldest monuments, including the 8th century BC Regia, home to the Kings of Rome, and the complex of the Vestal Virgins, surrounding Rome’s oldest forum, which was originally a marketplace.

Above the Forum, Palatine Hill is the centermost of the storied seven hills of Rome. According to mythology, It was somewhere on this hill that Romulus and Remus were nursed by the she-wolf Lupa in a cave. The Republic’s wealthiest citizens and later, its emperors, built their lavish palaces here for its central location and great views. To visit, just book a bundle Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill Tour.

Finally, visit the Pantheon, Rome’s best-preserved ancient building to finish off your tour. Built by Hadrian in the 2nd century, it served as a temple to the 12 main classical deities and remains one of the best examples of Classical architecture in the world.

Make sure you don’t miss the Museum of the Arts of the 21st Century (MAXXI for short). The late Zaha Hadid designed the sweeping concrete structure around a disused military barracks which is considered one of her finest works. While the modern architecture makes MAXXI a destination in itself, the exhibitions by some of Italy’s most visionary contemporary artists found inside are equally praiseworthy.
