Paris isn't the only place that's perfect for romantic getaways; Rome city breaks are just as well-suited for the world's sweethearts too. There are plenty of bargain holidays to behold in Italy's proud capital, whether you want a two-night stay in a boutique hotel or a week-long sojourn in the city.

Set on the River Tiber, Rome is known as the Eternal City and a visit here is guaranteed to keep you on your toes. Be transported back in time with a trip to the Colosseum and imagine what life was like to be a gladiator, or head to the Vatican City where you'll be wowed by the work of Michelangelo in the Sistine chapel. Superstitious types should make a stop-off at the tourist-filled Trevi fountain where throwing money into the waters is said to bring you good luck, while shoppers will have no trouble spending their hard earned Euros in the label lined streets that the famous Spanish steps lead you to. When it all gets too much, don't be afraid to explore the city's side streets where you'll find a wealth of quaint cobbled squares. Bordered by traditional gelatos offering an assortment of ice cream flavours and real Italian pizzerias - everything you find here is super fresh and cooked to order, it's enough to extend your stay an extra day!
