June
Dear Tourist,
Summer is here many days earlier than expected however the city is able to offer you marvellous sites to escape the heat when needed. All of Rome’s parks, starting with Villa Borghese, have lawns and ancient deciduous trees offering shade and relaxation. The cloisters of many medieval churches also serve to defend our guests from the sun, and why not take a drink from one of the many fountains, which are testament to Rome’s rich water supply.
What better time of year is there to enjoy a good Italian coffee on the Oppian Hill, visit the Colosseum or take snaps of monuments, fountains and piazzas from on board an open top bus?

The “bella stagione” invites you to discover the city with varying itineraries. In addition to traditional guided tours it is possible to take in the sites from the River Tiber with a cruise on the “Battello sul Tevere”, which goes all the way to Ostia seafront.
There is never a shortage of things to do in each of the four seasons but Summer in Rome hosts the richest of event’s calendars. You still have a few days left to behold the marvels of works by Fra Angelico and Giotto, whilst the music and open air show and concert season the “Estate Romana” is just getting under way. Come and spoil yourself in Rome with an unforgettable holiday.
Mauro Cutrufo, Vice Mayor Rome
