There is so much to experience in the Eternal City that one could spend a lifetime there and find something new every day. I spent two months living there this past summer and didn't get to see all that I had hoped. But that's the beauty of it. The city sprawls. Dusty streets wind around the seven hills. The bustle of modern city is interrupted when you wind the corner and stumble across a building as old as an empire. The city is ageless and remarkable.
The first time I visited in Rome, I spent only two days there. But I was so captivated I returned years later to spend two months. There's magic in the city.

Which is why I believe it deserves to be on everyone's travel itinerary. The city is a step back in time.
