Rick Steves Rome

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | In this hour-long travel special, we explore the "Eternal City" of Rome, a grand and ancient metropolis rich with exquisite art, vibrant culture, and centuries of history. We trace the rise and fall of classical Rome, meander through the heart of Bernini's Baroque Rome, and make a pilgrimage to the Vatican. Then, we follow Rick as he uncovers the charms of hidden neighborhoods filled with character and energy, enjoys a Roman feast, and mixes and mingles with the locals during an early-evening stroll through the city's romantic nightspots. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #rome Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
