 Go to Rome
 From the Michelin Green Guides series. For over 2 000 years Rome has welcomed pilgrims and visitors from around the world, but the Eternal City seems untroubled by the thronging crowds who explore her streets in search of the many facets of her character.
Every step and turn reveals a charming surprise: a church, a fountain, an obelisk, eliciting an admiring gaze or a gasp of delight. Turn into a quiet side alley, away from the constant clamour and bustle of the main commercial streets, and the unexpected silence enhances the drama of this exciting city.
A timeless place, rich in relics from every age, Rome offers myriad sensations to the discerning visitor. At the Ancient sites, listen out for echoes from the past: debaters in the Forum, traders haggling in the Trajan markets, the gossip of the citizens relaxing at the baths, or the prayers of the early Christians meeting secretly in the catacombs. Then experience the harmony of the Renaissance style and the majesty of Baroque architecture. Encounter the pulse of modern life in the picturesque streets and markets, the unhurried crowds in the Piazza di Spagna, the light-hearted chatter of the Romans, the sophisticated promenaders along the Via Veneto and the more romantically-minded on the Pincio.
