Rome is known as the eternal city, with monuments dating back to the 4th century BC standing alongside Renaissance palaces and modern buildings. For centuries, the Italian capital has also been one of the world’s top locations for art and cuisine. But forget any preconceptions of an ancient city in which all there is to do is visit historical sites and monuments.

Rome today is a vibrant centre for contemporary arts and entertainment; an inspirational hotspot for the many young artists who come here to experience how old and new can live together.
