Rome Flight Guide

Rome is Italy’s proud capital and gained the name “The Eternal City” due to its long history. It is the heart of the Roman Empire and the birthplace of European civilisation, which makes it an essential destination for any trip to Italy.
Established in 753 B.C., Rome has become the largest and most important Italian city with more than 3.3 million inhabitants. Within Rome’s borders lies the Vatican City, home to the Catholic Church and the Pope.

A walking tour around Rome will teach you more about European culture and the Roman Empire than any museum. With its majestic Old City, ancient ruins and stunning monuments, Rome has become the centre of world heritage and a visit is an invaluable experience for visitors of all ages. The Colosseum and St. Peter’s Dome are two of the most visited attractions, as well as the Pantheon, the Bridge of Angels and the Trevi Fountain.
Apart from its historic richness, Rome is also a shopping capital and home to a number of high fashion brands. A stroll around the city centre gives an insight into Italian flair, lifestyle and passion, as well as delicious food and rhythmic language.
It is best to plan a trip outside summer high season to avoid pressing heat and crowds. April, May, and October are ideal months to visit Rome, with average temperatures around 20-25°C.

Hotel Brasile as well as Hotel Pace Helvetia are luxurious accommodation options located in the heart of the Old City. For a less pricy stay, Camere del Cavaliere is a good alternative - a B&B chain in Rome where guests can choose between 3 popular locations.
Rome has two airports- Fiumincino is the one where Australian flights operate. Qantas and British Airways offer the most convenient connections from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Average flight duration from Australian cities to Rome varies between 22 and 25 hours.
