Don't Settle for an Ordinary Rome Vacation -- Go for Extraordinary!

You work hard all year long, and look forward to your holiday, and I really can recommend a Rome vacation. So why settle for ordinary, when you could do something different this year and create memories that really will last a lifetime?

Today there are so many more choices than just taking a regular trip or guided tour. If you're willing to think outside the box, and put a little effort into planning it, your Rome vacation can be extraordinary.

First of all, think about your interests or passions. Is there something that you've always wanted to do like learn to paint, or speak a foreign language?

What about some place that you've always wanted to visit like The Coloseum, St Peters or The Opera House?

What do you love to do in your spare timeā€¦visit art galleries, read or go to a soccer match?

If you've always wanted to be a painter, why not choose Rome? But instead of staying in a hotel, and making the rounds of the usual tourist attractions, check into renting a flat or participating in a housing exchange program. (You can find several options through our links to Venere.com on the website.) On the money you'll save on the hotel and restaurants, sign up for art classes at one of the cultural centers near where you'll be staying. And instead of signing up for a guided tour, visit the tourist attractions with your paints and easel. Live the life of an artist in Rome for two weeks!

If you are fanatical about soccer, it's easier than you think to travel to Rome, and see a classic soccer match, with the fans of Roma or Lazio at your side. Wouldn't it be amazing to tell your friends that you were there, in the Stadio Olimpico, when the winning goal was scored!

Whether you are coming to Rome on vacation or business, you simply have to experience the thrill of a football match! Rome soccer tour packages give you tickets to AS Roma or SS Lazio home games, hotel accommodation and breakfast daily. But don't delay, tickets sell out quickly because both teams attract fanatical support.

What about learning to speak Italian? (Your local community college probably offers "immersion" vacations as a member of a language class. During your Rome vacation, you stay as a guest in someone's home, and have the opportunity to live like a native. You'll become totally immersed in the city, having the chance to speak the language with your hosts, learn the best places to visit, and get to eat home cooked meals.)

If you have an idea for the "perfect" vacation, or there's something you've always wanted to do, but don't know where to start to make it happen, check out our online links to a variety of travel agents. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what they can help you arrange.

Whatever your interests, hobbies or passions, if you've got unfinished items on your "things to do before I die" list -- why not figure out a way to start putting a checkmark in front of some of them, by incorporating your dreams into your next Rome vacation?

Best wishes for a great trip,
