The Colosseum is a must, with its decayed splendour set in the centre of the city. Originally built as a theatre, where men and animals fought to the death under the eyes of the emperor of the day, you can take a guided tour of the sights, where the only animals left are the cats which live in and around this iconic landmark. Nearby is the Forum, the marketplace. Where again you can take a guided tour, however many of Rome's sights are so famous you can just gaze on them yourself. Modern Rome contains more than nine hundred churches, and many of them are well worth a visit. The staff at Rome five star hotels can advise you on those nearby which you can see, as to visit all would be impossibility. However you must visit St. Peter's which has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world. Set inside the Vatican, stop for a while to admire the sculptures of Michelangelo. For more priceless art, you can go to the Sistine chapel to see the famous ceiling painted by Michelangelo, and also examples of art from Raphael and Botticelli. Rome is also world class for museums, and you can find many more examples of the incomparable renaissance art of Rome. After a busy day of sightseeing, walk back to one of the Rome five star hotels and admire the small or large squares or piazzas which are set at the end of Rome's many small seats. These often have a fountain set in them, and are a perfect place to pause for a while and watch the world go by. You can buy some flowers from the flower sellers at Campo dei Fiori, where Rome executed its criminals in the old days. Don't forget to throw three coins in the Trevi Fountain, to be sure that you will return.
