View of Tiber & St Peters Cathedral, Rome, Italy

Rome

Spectacularly poised between the ancient world and the new; a long weekend to Rome can be likened to visiting an open museum.

Aside from exploring the superb ensembles of exuberant architecture strewn throughout the city, Rome also plays host to a bustling hub of cosmopolitan cafes and restaurants, galleries, and designer boutiques.

Also worth a visit is the scenic town of Tivoli. Easily located less than an hour’s drive east of Rome, it offers a great addition to a long weekend to Rome.
