Where to stay, when to go, what to see, and how to make the most of your GHA DISCOVERY membership benefits, rewards and offers in Rome–Italy’s storied capital and a city steeped in history.
As one of the world’s most famous cities, Rome has graced the seven hills over the scenic Tiber River since the mid-700s BCE. This city of art and politics boasts a long list of unmissable sites. In fact, over 16% of global cultural heritage sites are crowded into Rome’s 1,200+ square kilometres, which are also home to 2.7 million people. From ancient water fountains, hilarious hidden-away gargoyles or keyhole views into private gardens—unforgettable moments await everywhere.
Start your tour with the city’s most famous sites: the Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, Trevi Fountain, Navona Square and Vatican City. From there, lush parks, ancient ruins and stunning basilicas all vie for your camera viewfinder—while mouth-watering cuisine like pizza, limoncello and gelato tempt on every corner. Browse fresh produce at the daily Campo de’ Fiori market. People-watch while sipping espresso on any cobblestoned street. Walk the Spanish Steps. Tour the Vatican art collection. Or try a smaller (but no less impressive) gallery like Galleria Doria Pamphilj.
The best time to visit Rome is mid-March to May, when crowds are lower and temperatures are mild.
