subject: Go Yachting To Rome And Save [print this page] Italy is the place to go if you fancy a bareboat charter yacht holiday and if you are spending the money on Private boat charters then why not spend some time at Italys most historic and old city, Rome?
Rome has had a great and historical past, since the Roman Empire was raging in Europe and in some areas of Africa and Asia. Founded in 753 BC, it has always been the world capital of Christianity, thanks to the presence of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. This is the Popes residence, which was built in the place that holds the tomb of St. Peter. The Basilica is the largest church in the world, with many works of art such as statues in marble, travertine, stucco and bronze, among which is the excellent "The Pieta" by Michelangelo. Inside the Basilica, there is also the Sistine Chapel.
The historic Italian capital Rome is the largest in Europe, and it houses monuments of great historical, artistic and cultural importance, including the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Palatine. Rome is a true in the truest sense of the word, one big open air museum. The city is host to the Spanish Steps, St. Peter, the Vatican, famous museums, Trastevere, Colosseum, Piazza Navona, Campo de 'Fiori, Trevi Fountain. All the other wonders of Rome, are just some of the many monuments that make Rome one of the cities popular with tourists from around the world and visit at least once in their life.
To understand Rome and the Roman, one should start from a flea market, such as the Charity of Portaportese, where one can find curios to clothing brands. A few steps away are the Rome shopping and high fashion stores with the shop windows of prestigious brands such as Prada, Armani, Valentino. If you are looking to visit via Private boat charters then the tourist season has its peak between Easter and October. In spring and autumn is when tourists arrive by bus package tours, and pour into the city. The prices of hotels and food is not the cheapest, but thank to the weakened state of their economy at the moment, you will probably save a little bit of money thanks to the exchange rate. With that said, you can enjoy yourself with the free sights and via entrance to the free museums and galleries. Travel is not too expensive if you use public transport, but traffic does tend to jam up during the peak seasons. Also, do not forget that their road signs are in KM and not MPH, so be careful when you see those 90 signs. Their road laws are also not as stringent and safe as ours are, so be careful if you are going to hire a car and drive yourself.
Thanks to its location at the centre of the Mediterranean, Rome is the true centre of the world. Thousand years have passed and yet in terms of charm, it still has no rival among the favourite destinations of international tourism. With a bareboat charter yacht, you are free to explore the rivers and moor up to see the sights.
