For three millennia Rome has played an essential role in
civilization, religion, art, architecture, and gastronomy. Known
as the “Eternal City”, Rome is home to some of the most remarkable
sites in the world, like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and the
Vatican, to name just a few. With its mixture of ancient ruins and
contemporary living, Rome charms and excites all of her visitors.
Situated
on the Gulf of Naples close to Mount Vesuvius, Naples enjoys
one of the most attractive scenic settings in the
Mediterranean. Naples is a pretty big city (the third
largest in Italy) which has a population of 1,200,000
people. Tourists can visit medieval buildings and view
Renaissance architecture.
