Let Newmarket Holidays transport you to the capital of Italy, Rome, which combines grand and ancient architecture with sleek, modern amenities.
Stroll the gardens of the Villa Borghese, Rome's most famous open space and home to some of the city's most priceless ancient and modern art collections. From the Forum to the Spanish Steps and legendary Fontana di Trevi, there's an enormous amount to see. Explore the museums on the Capitoline Hill, gaze up at the Pantheon from the world-famous Piazza Navona or shop, explore and soak up la dolce vita at a pavement café.
Rome holidays are all about combining relaxation with culture, which is exactly how we plan our itinerary. Cross the Tiber to Castel St Angelo and the Vatican City, where vast St Peter's Square is dominated by the dome of the Basilica. Enter the church to see Bernini's baldacchino before viewing Michelangelo's unparalleled frescoes and ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. There are hundreds of reasons to take an escorted tour of Rome with Newmarket Holidays: whether it’s history, art or delicious food that draws you, we’re here to show you the best that this city has to offer.

So many ways to capture a slice of La Dolce Vita in this Italian gem, yet so little time. Here's where to begin...
Sit outside at any Italian café to enjoy a traditional aperitif, which range from sweet Bellinis to tart Negronis.
Scoop your way through some of the best gelato in Italy at Giolitti, taking the time to enjoy all the best ingredients from around the country. Around since 1900, this is as old school as you’ll find it.
Let us not forget the most classic of all Italian dishes: pizza. Stop in at La Pratolina, Seu Pizza Illuminati or Piccolo Buco for some of the best. Though it would be hard to get it wrong, no matter where you stop off.
