Center of power of the Roman Empire, seat of the Catholic Church, and capital of Italy: from ancient times to the present, Rome has been the focal point of Europe and North Africa, the world, and Italy. As impossible as it is to see all the sights, a walk always leads to the Vatican with its endless museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica, to the Roman Forum and the Capitol, to the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and Campo de' Fiori. In Trastevere, you can find small taverns, traditional craft shops, and typical Italian life.
