A Unique Perspective On Rome

If you want to make your stay in the stunning Italian capital city extra special, choose to stay in a design hotel. Rome offers many excellent accommodation options, but if you are looking for a unique experience and one that will make this break away one to remember, pick a design hotel.

Rome is an iconic city and one that draws people from all over the world to marvel at its classical architecture and learn about its incredible history. If you are looking to explore the city from a completely new perspective, consider one of the following more unusual ways to explore.

Unique Tours of the City

From your design hotel, Rome tours can be booked easily, so make sure that you arrange these in advance to avoid disappointment. How about discovering the city in one of the quintessential Italian cars, the vintage Fiat 500? As a passenger you will learn all about the great sites of the city as you drive past. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you can choose the Grand Tour, the Night Tour or the Tour of The Hills.

If you want to join the locals and experience the exhilaration of dodging through the busy streets on a vintage Vespa, you can do that too. They are definitely the best means of transportation in the city and, as a passenger, you will not have to worry about negotiating the narrow streets and somewhat chaotic traffic. Your driver will be your guide and give you a truly unique insight into Roman history and culture.

Segway tours are a more modern and arguably more relaxed way to see the city. As you pass by the ancient sites of the city, the guide who is leading the tour commentates on what you are seeing. You are given a wireless headphone set so you are guaranteed not to miss anything.

One of the most fascinating sites in the city is, of course, the Colosseum, so why not take a tour that has you exploring the underground passageways and dungeons, as well as the upper tiers of this incredible building? On a guided tour you will be taken to parts of the ancient building that are not open to the general public, and you even receive entrance to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum with your ticket.

The Sistine Chapel is always buzzing with visitors, all vying for the best view of this wondrous display of Renaissance art; but if you want to visit after hours and without the crowds, you can book on to a private tour. This tour lasts two hours and takes you inside the Vatican Museums to some of the most exclusive exhibits. It is a great way to get a real idea of what this place really means and the significance of all it holds.

This is a truly is an incredible city to visit, and from the comfort of your design hotel, Rome’s best attractions are right on your doorstep. Book your tours in advance and you will be guaranteed a fascinating insight into this wonderful world.
