It’s hard to imagine a trip to Paris without taking a photo with one of the most famous, most visited, and most iconic buildings in the world, the Eiffel Tower.

Rome
Rome, the Eternal City. Even after many Roman holidays, it is difficult to put into words how much the fantastic capital of Italy, Rome, has to offer. History, culture, and architecture shine in few places as much as in Rome. One sight after another, not to mention the mouth watering Italian gastronomy, which is also one of the best things you can explore in Rome.
What are the must-see attractions in Rome?
Before we get to the most important Roman sights (although to be honest, we only selected 5 out of necessity, as it is impossible to rank and select the most important ones out of so many), we must definitely note that you should pack comfortable sports shoes for the trip! This is the only way to face the cobblestone streets of Rome! Consider the following 5 sights as a starting point for your Roman vacation. You will see that Rome will amaze you with many more sights. And believe us, try to fit as many places and landmarks as you can into your bucket list. You will not regret visiting them, that’s for sure!
1. Colosseum
It is undoubtedly difficult to choose the most important Roman attractions, but if you have to decide on the most important one, the Colosseum is the one that cannot be missed from the list. The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in the world, capable of holding up to 50,000 spectators. In ancient Rome, this huge arena hosted the then-fashionable animal and gladiatorial fights. Today, it is primarily a tourist attraction, but also serves as a venue for concerts and cultural events.
2. Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica
A Roman vacation is not complete without a visit to the Vatican. Vatican City is the center of the Catholic Church and also serves as the home residence of the Pope. The most important attraction you will find here is St. Peter’s Basilica. The basilica is decorated with masterpieces by famous painters such as Michelangelo, Bernini, and Bramante.
Inside the church, you can admire Michelangelo’s famous Pietà statue, but you can also find the tomb of St. Peter here. Once you have finished visiting the basilica, head to the Vatican Museum. You will find incredible treasures here as well, including the Sistine Chapel. Look at the ceiling and admire the breathtaking frescoes painted by Michelangelo.
3. Pantheon
After the Colosseum, one of the most significant ancient buildings in Rome is none other than the Pantheon. Few people know, but the Pantheon was originally built as a pagan temple and later became a Christian basilica. Entering the Pantheon, you will surely be amazed by the beautiful dome.
In the middle of the dome natural sunlight breaks into the building through the oculus and illuminates the fantastic frescoes. Take your time here and admire the fantastic view, the brilliant colors, and the lights that make one of the masterpieces of ancient Rome even more special. The tomb of Raphael is also located inside the building.
4. Trevi Fountain
Another important attraction in Rome is none other than the Trevi Fountain. This is one of the most popular tourist sights in Rome, which, by the way, has been undergoing renovation work for years. Thanks to this, today it is visited by as many tourists (if not more) as in the past, so be prepared for the crowds. It is worth starting your Rome sightseeing tour with the Trevi Fountain early in the morning to avoid the many people taking photos by the fountain.
The Trevi Fountain is one of the most iconic and beautiful Baroque fountains in Rome, designed by Nicola Salvi in 1762. You can see the central figure of the fountain, Neptune, who you may know as the god of the sea. Neptune is accompanied by two tritons. You’ve probably heard that if you throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain with your right hand over your left shoulder, you will return to Rome. It’s worth a try, right?
5. Roman Forum
Last but not least, if Rome is your Easter destination this year, make time to visit the Roman Forum. The Roman Forum served as the political, religious and social center of ancient Rome. Public meetings and triumphal processions took place here, but it was also an important stage for commercial life. Today, the Roman Forum is actually an exciting historical ruin area where you can see the remains of former temples, monuments, buildings, and marketplaces. These include, for example, the Curia, the Senate building, and the Temple of Saturn. Walk through the ruins and let your imagination run free. Imagine what life must have been like here, during the golden age of ancient Rome.
How to get to Rome from Budapest Airport?
We must say, Rome is really easy to get to from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. Even at Easter! Ryanair and Wizzair Airlines will fly you to the Eternal City in about an hour and a half, to be exact 1 hour and 45 minutes. If you can’t book a ticket for the direct flights, you can travel to Rome with LOT, Lufthansa, KLM, SWISS and Eurowings airlines by connecting. It is also important to note that Rome has two airports: Ciampino and Fiumicino.
