Rome where Nero fiddled, Mark Antony praised Caesar, and Charlemagne was crowned. Today, you can walk in their footsteps past the masterpieces of Michelangelo, sip your caffè in the shadow of Mussolini, and dodge Vespas speeding by Baroque palazzi and Egyptian obelisks. The ages of history live on in this, the Eternal City. Rome is Italy's treasure trove, packed with masterpieces from more than two centauries of artistic achievement.

 Although most of Rome's sights in a confined area, it is too large to be seen solely on foot. Use the metro (subway), a bus, or a taxi to the area you plan to visit, and expect to do a lot of walking once you're there. You can get free city and transportation-route maps at municipal information booths. Fiat has a variety rental car available.
