- The capital of Italy, Rome has always been a cultural and political stronghold and crossroads for people from across the globe. The glorious history of the eternal city can be seen in the form of artwork, exquisite monuments, museums, churches and architecture. One of the grandest sites in Rome is the great Colosseum, which remains an architectural feat in the eyes of modern engineers and has recently been named one of the “Seven Wonders of the Modern World.” The Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square and the Basilica of St. Peter are ever-present reminders of the Catholic Church’s historical and religious influence. Rome is also full of picturesque piazzas and famous fountains. Here, Romans and visitors alike can step out of the hustle and bustle of modern Rome and enjoy people-watching over a caffé.

- Amazing experience!!02/04/14
API had extremely nice and helpful advisors that made me feel so welcome. The excursions were tons of fun and they allowed us to do our own thing the majority of the time. API did a great job of showing us around and making us feel at home. Living in
Rome was fabulous for several reasons. Rich culture, fabulous food, and BALLIN night life.
