The Italian capital, with its 3 million residents and even more tourists every year, is a thriving centre of activity of all kinds - from 6 Nations Rugby to Gay Pride. Throughout the spring and summer months, there is something for everyone literally every single night – the city’s green areas are alive with classical music, the auditoriums rattle with concerts, even on street level, guests to this unique 3000-year-old city will find entertainment in the Baroque and Renaissance Piazzas around the historical centre and the Hotel King.
