  Rome is a thriving metropolis where some of Italy's best dressed people live a contemporary Dolce Vita in an intimate film-set world of Fascist monuments, local markets and crumbling Roman theatres. The food is some of the best in the country, the shopping is extravagant and there are enough chic bars to drink in a different one every night for weeks. More unexpectedly, there are nearby beaches and long peaceful walks down ancient Roman roads. Having lived in its past for decades, 21st century Rome is a creative, buzzing city, with the sleek lines of modern design and adventurous architecture pinpricking its careworn patina and just waiting to be explored. Discover all this and more with Footprint's brand new full-colour guide. The best eating experiences, modern and ancient art galleries, parks and city walks Unusual day trips - including the rationalist-design EUR neighbourhood and Ostica Antica, a lesser-known Pompeii - as well as the ever-popular Roman sights Best food markets and vibrant late-night eateries and aperitivo spots Comprehensive coverage of some of the most unique and startling churches of the city Author's favourite walk around Tridente and the Centro Storico
