When in Rome we selected the best rooftop restaurants and bars for the best views in the Eternal City, get up high and make sure you’ve got a drink in your hand
The Eternal City, a nick name, that the original moniker alluded to the strength of the empire—something that is no longer relevant in our modern society—there is an element of truth to the idea of Rome being an everlasting place. Perhaps, with a rich historical heritage that’s been preserved over the ages and the growth of its own hard-wearing culture, Rome really is eternal.
