Rome Friends

The Old and the New

The beauty of Rome today is that it is a fabric where the ancient and the modern are tightly woven together into a glorious tapestry of colours, sounds, flavours and sites. There is no better example than the European School of Economics which sits just minutes away from the ancient Colosseum and has views of the splendid Caracalla Baths. Rome is an ideal place to blend business and pleasure and understand the complexities that are at the heart of modern day Europe. The European School of Economics offers a variety of short courses taught in English as well as Bachelors and Masters degrees that offer the greatest temptation of including a stay in Rome as part of a career development path.

Trip to Rome

I have for a long time dreamed of going on an extended holiday. I am not talking about a short 2 week trip, but something longer. Something that would really truly allow me to relax and switch off. Well, after looking around, I found some really good cruise deals around the Mediterranean. Eventually I found one that I liked, and the next thing I know I was a cruise ship and loving it!

Part of the itinerary involves going to Rome, and so here I though I would talk a little about the Rome leg of the cruise.

To know about Rome it takes more than a few hours, days, months or even years. Rome has a rich heritage and culture of its own. Rome that we see today was not built in one day. It’s several eras of history combined together. We got soaked with its history and culture. Rome cannot be described in few words. Its history goes way back over 2500 More

Flights to Rome and elsewhere in Europe saw massive delays
The rest of the country’s airports, More
