Italy Six Nations Weekend Break

There is plenty to see in Rome before and after the game. Indeed the relics of over two thousand years of habitation packed into this sprawling urban area means it is one of the most historical cities in the world.

For the visitor, the city's classical features - most notably the Coliseum, the Forum and Palatine Hill - cannot be missed.

Then there are the early Christian basilicas, Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces and the fountains and churches of the Baroque period. Trajan's column and Michelangelo's Piazza on Capitoline Hill have been totally transformed - pure magic when lit up at night!

For a little shopping therapy, the big names are clustered on and around two parallel streets at the base of the Spanish steps, via Condotti and via Borgognona. For something a little different, head for Volpetti, a delightful deli on via Marmorata with fresh Parmesan, Mozzarella di bufala and Formaggio di fossa, all weighed, sliced and packaged with typical Italian panache.
