Rome is one of the most intriguing capitals of the world. The mixture of ubiquitous ancient history and a thriving (and noisy) city creates a special charm which you would not want to miss. Rome is the largest city of Italy with about 3.8 millions living in the province of Rome. It includes the Vatican, which is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, as a sovereign enclave.
