Rome is not for the faint-at-heart: It’s a boisterous city of 2,900,000 that overflows with more history, art, and culture than arguably any other city in the world. Coexisting seamlessly with the modern beat of daily Roman life are classical, early Christian, Baroque, Romanesque, Renaissance, Rococo, and post-Unification relics. Each of the city’s neighborhoods, from Trastevere to E.U.R., has it’s own distinct flavor and rhythm. Rome’s dizzying array of sights, which includes such historic heavyweights as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Roman Forum, are enough to occupy even the most zealous traveler for months.

The historic district packs a proverbial punch. Home to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum, it offers an eat-your-heart-out display of antiquity. Also part of the centro storico are the districts surrounding the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Both boast a hopping café scene, nightlife, and a beautiful collection of renaissance palazzi. No surprise, the centro storico is a tourist hot spot and hotel prices are exorbitant.

In the province of Viterbo, it's hard to know where to begin one's exploration. Lake Bolsena to the north, and Lake Bracciano to the south, are fun destinations in the spring and summer when the lakes' small resorts come alive. Activities include hiking, sailing, and swimming. Viterbo also makes a great day trip. Its historic center, San Pellegrino, features well preserved medieval houses, narrow streets, and charming piazzas. West of Viterbo lies Tuscania, home to remarkable medieval buildings that were reconstructed following an earthquake in 1971. Highlights include the churches of Santa Maria Maggiore and San Pietro. Southwest of Viterbo, the Etruscan center of Tarquinia is a must-see for archaeology buffs. The site's museum, Museo Archeologico e Necropoli, houses a fascinating collection of finds. Frescoed tombs, located 2 kilometers from town, can also be visited.
