Marvellous Escapes

Your Roman Holiday awaits your arrival.

Whether you're visiting for history, culture or culinary adventures, Rome combines ancient wonders with contemporary Italian flair. A rail holiday through Rome offers the perfect balance between scenic travel and effortless exploration.

Once you reach Rome, the city reveals layers of civilisation spanning millennia. Nestled among seven hills and crossed by the ancient Tiber River, the atmosphere feels both majestic and intimate. History enthusiasts will find endless attractions throughout the capital.

Every corner of Rome tells a story, from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain, from the Jewish Quarter to Vatican City. The city centre showcases Renaissance palaces, baroque fountains and alongside other legendary monuments.

Step into the Colosseum, and imagine the heights of this spectacular amphitheatre that transported gladiators into history nearly two thousand years ago. Take an evening stroll through the Roman Forum or climb Palatine Hill for breathtaking views across the metropolis. These magical moments are part of what makes exploring Rome so rewarding.

To continue your cultural discovery around Rome, you cannot miss a chance to see the Pantheon, or wander through Villa Borghese to discover peaceful gardens and exceptional galleries showcasing Bernini's masterful sculptures.

The city's compact size makes it perfect for walking, yet there's enough to discover that every visit reveals something new. Churches hide Renaissance frescoes, squares feature baroque fountains, and restaurants serve recipes passed down through generations.

Food also plays a central role in Rome's appeal. From family-run trattorias to acclaimed restaurants, the gastronomic scene reflects the city's passionate approach to dining. Savour gelato while wandering through Campo de' Fiori Market, or enjoy an aperitivo in the trendy Testaccio district.

A rail holiday to Rome removes the hassle of lengthy airport procedures or complicated transfers. From major cities such as Florence, Naples and Venice, Italian train connections are frequent, reliable, and pass through stunning countryside. The efficient service, comfortable carriages and punctual schedules make the journey itself an enjoyable part of your Roman experience.

Whether you're travelling as a couple seeking romance, a family exploring together, or a solo adventurer, the Eternal City offers unforgettable experiences. Enjoy sunset walks through ancient streets, sample authentic Italian cuisine, and discover millennia of art and architecture at your own pace.
