WHAT TO DO AND SEE WHILE STAYING AT HOTEL DE
RUSSIE |
|
Rome is a beautiful city steeped in history, combining the ancient remains of a 2000-year past with the excitement of a modern European capital. It offers its visitors more to see than any other city in the world.
The Vatican City (Papal State), including St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, is a ten-minute walk from the hotel.
Among other attractions that are only minutes away is the Pantheon on Via del Seminario, built by the architect Emperor Hadrian 2000 years ago, a huge, domed roof housing the tomb of Raphael, and the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, a Gothic, 13th-century church in Centro Storico that houses the tombs of wealthy Romans and priceless frescoes.
The Campidoglio is the city hall, located on the Capitoline Hill. One of Rome's most elegant squares, it was designed by Michaelangelo and features some of the city's primary classical sculpture and museums.
