My favourite place

Rome! The only European city I’ve visited that has something for everyone. There’s something charming about Rome’s culture that makes the organised chaos of the city just work!  Every time I visit Rome I’m in total awe of the history, the décor and the architecture, there are no high rise hotels, just wonderful traditional buildings which in my view, no other European city can compete with.  Add to this the food/wine and coffee, it’s hard to beat. No visit to Rome is complete without a spot of people watching in one of the many outdoor cafes or piazzas, followed by a walk around one of the beautiful lush green parks, a total contrast to the streets of the Forum or the dominating Coliseum.
