Car Hire and Car Rental in Rome, Italy.

Rome - the Eternal City - has a past that spans centuries. Once the centre of a powerful empire that spread across the world, today Rome is much like any modern city. Busy streets, sidewalk cafes and unique attractions bring visitors to this bustling city.

The Colosseum, more properly called the Flavius amphitheatre, is the largest structure of its type in the world. When it was new, the imposing structure was covered in white stone; statues graced the arches in the upper stories. Able to accommodate 70,000 spectators, admission to Colosseum events was free to Roman citizens.

The Roman Forum is considered one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. It stood in the midst of daily life; here people could hear great orators, see public trials, and watch the world pass by. A number of significant buildings are part of the Forum, including the Arch of Septimus Severus, the Temple of Saturn, the house of Vestals, and the Arch of Titus.

Palatino Hill was the original site of the city and it eventually became the Imperial headquarters. Climb the hill and look down on the remains of ancient Rome. It seems the relics of Rome's past never end. See the Pantheon, the Baths of Septimus Severus, and imagine the chariot races that ran in the Circus Maximus.

Rome's history didn't end with the demise of the Roman Empire. Started in the 16th century, St. Peter's Square and the Vatican became the focal point for Catholics across the globe. Michelangelo's spectacular artwork, adorning the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, will take your breath away.

The Renaissance Gardens at Villa d'Este are absolutely wonderful, and the Spanish steps attract walkers and photographers alike.

Take a car and visit attractions outside the city's centre. The Appian Way, the Tivoli Gardens and the countryside of Lazio will inspire you.
