To celebrate the launch of The Getaway Expert, Metro's exclusive new travel newsletter, we have teamed up with Wowcher to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a taste of la dolce vita with a city break for two in Rome. Your escape to Italy's dazzling capital promises an unforgettable experience, including return flights from your chosen UK airport and ample time for exploration.
Your Roman Adventure Awaits
Your four-star hotel will be within walking distance of iconic spots such as Vatican City, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain. From ancient ruins and Renaissance masterpieces to bustling piazzas and romantic backstreets, the Eternal City offers the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and timeless beauty. For the chance to win this unforgettable break, simply enter your details into the form and sign up to The Getaway Expert.
Explore the Eternal City
Rome is a living museum where every corner reveals another layer of history. Surrounded by beautifully preserved ruins, you will be transported 2,000 years back in time to the days of the Romans. No visit would be complete without marveling at the Colosseum and wandering through the ancient ruins of the Roman Forum. Enormous columns and arches remain, marking the sites of law courts, temples, and rose gardens where flowers have bloomed for millennia.
Climb the famous Spanish Steps for sweeping views across the rooftops, then wander through the cobbled streets towards the Trevi Fountain to toss a coin and ensure your return. Discover Via Margutta, Rome's 'artist street,' famous for its 19th-century artist residences, ivy-clad buildings, independent galleries, and quiet, romantic atmosphere.
Discover Rome's Hidden Gems
Find the best panoramas of the city on Quirinal Hill, one of Rome's original seven hills and home to the splendid presidential palace. Alternatively, peep through the keyhole at the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta on Aventine Hill for a perfectly framed view of St Peter's Basilica. For a change of pace, head to the beautiful Villa Borghese Gardens. This sprawling green oasis offers shaded pathways, idyllic boat rides on the lake, and the renowned Borghese Gallery, home to masterpieces by Caravaggio and Bernini.
Eat Like a Roman
Head to one of the city's many candlelit restaurants such as Il Bacaro or Ombre Rosse for a hearty plate of one of Rome's four great pasta dishes: cacio e pepe, carbonara, gricia, and amatriciana. To truly eat like a local, head to Trastevere, where ivy-draped trattorias and lively piazzas make for a truly authentic evening. When in Rome!
