A Rome city break would not be complete if you don’t visit the places for which the city is famous. This includes the Colosseum- the amphitheater which can hold about 50000 people. If you are visiting around April, you might also get to see the celebration of Rome’s birthday. This is accompanied by a lot of firecracker bursting and traditional Roman banquets. Also while you are in Rome, don’t forget to visit Nero’s palace. It is called Domus Aurea. This was closed due to heavy rains. The ceiling became weak and the palace had to be closed down quickly due to potential accidents.

Nero had built a lot of riches. But the rulers who came after him wanted to wipe his memory. So they buried his golden palace. But they were unsuccessful. Not only that, since, the palace was buried, so most of the palace was retrieved wholly. In the Rome city break, you can visit this palace which is still under reconstruction and see for yourself the renovation work. The visitors will have to follow a special route to see the palace under renovation. Once the renovation is complete however, you will be able to go back inside the palace once more.

The palace has thirty rooms. It is still not known how many of them will be opened to the public. But other attractions of Nero will be on show and if you are on a Rome city break, you should see the Sala Ottagonale. This is an eight-sided building where Nero gathered to entertain his guests. You can also the chalk marks which Raphael had left after he admired the murals of the building.

Rome is the capital of Italy, the Papal States and was the chief center of the Roman Empire. It has a lot to offer. If you visit Vatican City, you can also see St. Peter’s Basilica, which is the largest church of the world.
