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. See the
Hotel
King Rome Useful Links page for official sites,
ticketing and information.
