Must see:
In a city of must-sees, the recently restored Sistine Chapel ceiling – Michelangelo’s ultimate masterpiece – will take your breath away. But the dress code is strict. Gentlemen, like the Old Master himself, must wear long trousers. Everyone should keep their shoulders covered.

Must eat at:
For a heart-stopping view of the Eternal City, make a booking with Mirabelle, the Michelin-starred restaurant with a panoramic rooftop terrace all of its own.

Must be there for:
The highly unusual (and thoroughly post-modern) Blessing of the Cars every March at the Santa Francesca Romana church near the Coliseum offers divine intercession and protection for pious drivers!

Well-travelled tips:
- If you’re visiting the main Roman sites such as the Forum and the Coliseum in mid-summer, go in the morning – not only will you miss the crowds, but the summer sun won’t be on your back.
- Although Rome is a walkable city, it’s built on hills (7 of them) and it’s advisable to wear a pair of trainers for some of the more challenging hikes!

Visa:
British citizens do not need a visa to visit Italy.
