Rome Italy is one of the most popular European tourist destinations for seniors. The City is home to many well-known landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and the Vatican. To see it all, many seniors prefer to take organized tours via bus or boat. Evening bus tours showcase Rome’s lighted fountains and beautiful piazzas while evening boat tours often include dinner. Touring Rome by foot or taking a walking tour led by local tour guides is another way to explore the City.

Most seniors visit the Vatican City to tour St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Vatican gardens, Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum. The Museum houses an enormous collection of art treasures including works by Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.

Seniors who enjoy shopping will recognize many famous Italian retailers in Rome. Ferragamo, Gucci, Fendi, Bulgari, Valentino and others have retail stores in the City. There are also many small establishments found off the beaten path that offer charming local wares and bargains.

Senior travelers should avoid trips to the City during the month of August when most of Italy goes on vacation, usually for the whole month. Whether your budget is large or small, you will find amazing choices for dining, sight seeing, shopping and entertainment in Rome Italy.
