As with many travelers to Italy, Rome was our first stop. There are numerous flights into Rome from other countries, often direct. The Rome Termini (central train station) is a central hub for rail options to the rest of the country which makes the city an easy jumping off point to other regions. Rome is an eclectic blend of all twenty of the regions of Italy – food, culture and history all come together in this city. It is an ideal city as either your first or last stop (or both) on a tour of Italy.
