Piazzas such as the Navona, Campo de' Fiori offer picturesque settings ideal for a romantic laid-back dining and wining. Many of the hotels in Rome are centered around the historical city centre.
The Vatican: The Vatican is a state on its own. The Papal City State with an endless treasure troves of sights, relics and the world-known Vatican museum.
