Rome in March
March in Rome offers a pleasant escape from the winter chill with blooming flowers and fewer crowds than the recent Jubilee years. This ancient city is a living museum, where millennia of history unfold around every corner, from the awe-inspiring Colosseum with its now accessible underground Hypogeum to the Pantheon's architectural marvel.
