Whether you want to wander through the ruins of the Roman Forum, gaze up at the spectacular ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or taste the world-famous food in the markets of Campo de' Flori, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Rome has to offer.

A living museum of crumbling amphitheatres and splendid palaces, Rome has ancient sights around every corner. This is a city that delicately balances the old and new, where street art rears its head near Roman pyramids, vespas whiz past centuries-old triumphal columns and the aperitivo tradition is guarded with full force at hip pavement cafés.

Our updated 2023 travel guide brings Rome to life. DK Eyewitness Rome is your ticket to the trip of a lifetime.
