Rome, the ancient capital of the Roman Empire and the modern capital of Italy has captured the hearts and minds of plenty of people throughout the centuries. So head on over for your next adventure, and you don't be disappointed.
Rome is famously known for its diverse art scene, so head over to the Maxxi museum, one of the newest additions to the art world. The contemporary art museum offers odd-angled ramps, hidden corners and strangely shaped windows, while featuring plenty of work from contemporary artists, according to the New York Times.
Explore one of the older districts, San Lorenzo, for a taste of real Rome. Wander through the snaking streets and look at various handmade crafts, ranging from jewelry and clothing to leather goods. Want to bring something home to brighten up your house? Check out Candle's Store, which features handmade artisanal candles, according to the news source.
A trip to Rome wouldn't be complete without visiting the Trastevere neighborhood of the city. There are plenty of cool bars and lounges where you can rest your feet after a long day, while looking out onto the Tiber.
The best way to explore Italy, is with a small group of adventure travelers.
When in Rome, live like the Romans
