Travelling in Rome with a Rental Car

Your Rome Car hire will give you the opportunity to explore the amazing city of Rome and to take in the incredible history. Taxis are scandalously expensive in Rome, Italy, and the other means of transport are not very reliable. But a car hire in Rome will provide a convenient way to travel to and from the various destinations and for day excursions just outside the city. Rome is halfway down Italy's western coast, about 20km inland. You can start your car hire journey from the airports in Rome, or if you would like to start the car rental from within a Rome city location the hire car depots are located in many places around the city. Drive your Rome car hire into central Rome as the major sights are within a reasonable distance of each other.

The most popular historical site to drive to in your car hire in Rome, which is also the symbol of Ancient Rome, is the Colosseum. The Colosseum encloses the secrets of the Gladiators battles which shows the underground network of cells, corridors, ramps and elevators that were used to transport the animals from their cages to the arena.

The Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums are a must see for all travelers into Italy. The Sistine Chapel is famous for Michelangelo’s painted ceiling. Other memorable famous painters who added a piece of magic are Botticelli, Ghirandaio, Roselli, Pinturicchio, Signorelli and Della Gatta. The Vatican Museum provides an inspirational visit to one of the World’s greatest collections of art. The artwork revealed can be admired by all people even if you’re not an art buff. The galleries stretch over 6 kilometers which allow you to see artworks from the magnificent Raphael rooms, the Etruscan Museum and the Pio-Clementino Museum, which share the world’s largest collection of classical statues.

The favourite meeting place for flirting teenagers is the celebrated Spanish Steps. Built between 1723 and 1726 with French influence, the 138 Spanish steps were constructed to connect the Spanish Embassy to the Piazza below. At the foot of the steps, the fountain of a sinking boat, the Barcaccia is believed to be created by Pietro Bernini, father of the famous Gian Lorenzo. The Spanish steps are located in Via Margutta, one of the areas popular for its antiques, art galleries and is also surrounded by high- street fashion stores from Armani to Zegna.

Another astounding site is the Trevi Fountain which was built for Pope Clement XII. The over powering statues show such detail that takes your breathe away. Tossing a coin into the fountain is supposed to guarantee a return trip to Rome. Make your Rome Holiday convenient, adventurous and your own with a Rome Car Hire with Driveaway Holidays.
