Known as the \u201cEternal City\u201d by the Ancient Romans. It was believed that no matter what happened around the world, Rome would never fall. Once the impressive epicentre of the Roman Empire, Rome is now home to a collection of historical and captivating landmarks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While tourists have all the time to enjoy the sights, business travellers have to plan carefully if they want to enjoy the Eternal City during their short or busy visits. So we summed up all the must-see places in Rome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colosseum <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Flavian Amphitheatre is an iconic sight associated with Rome. Enveloped by tales of armoured gladiators and hungry lions, the Colosseum is a symbol of power, drama and entertainment. The original capacity had seating for over 50,000 spectators, all excited to watch the show! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emperor Titus celebrated the inauguration of the Colosseum through 100 days of games which took the lives of over 2000 gladiators. Although the Colosseum was neglected after four centuries of active use, it still remains a jewel in Italy’s crown, drawing 7 million-plus visitors each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Colosseum is open for a fully immersive, must-see tourist experience! Guided tours are recommended to understand the rich (and bloody) history. To beat the crowds, head over first thing in the morning! Check out the list of apartments situated within only 10-15 minutes walk from the Colosseum here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Trevi Fountain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another staple forming the iconic collection of landmarks in Rome is the Trevi Fountain. Engraved with an ensemble of mythical figures and wild horses taking up its entire side. Its water comes from a famed Roman underground aqueduct, Aqua Virgo, and its name derives from the \u201cthe vie\u201d (three roads) that converge at the fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to follow the tradition of tossing a coin into the water, to ensure you will return to Rome. The coin toss etiquette involves throwing the coin from your right hand, over your left shoulder, with your back facing the fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
