All roads most definitely lead here. Be it for your love of ancient history, a trip to the Vatican, or just to pretend you are Cary Grant/Audrey Hepburn for a few days - Rome is the essential destination. With the coming of Easyjet, Ryan air, Go (and all the offers from the major airlines) you can easily pick up return flights for less than a night out! The Coliseum, the Forum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish steps, the Vatican, the Mouth of Truth, Tivoli Gardens and the Pantheon all await, but our advice is to just soak up the atmosphere, take in a few sites and don't leave without visiting the boutiques off the Via del Corso! If money's no object then book an apartment at the Hassler Hotel. Situated at the top of the Spanish Steps, it's the perfect place to take an aperitif while looking out onto the roofs of the palaces and churches below.

Alien

13/19 Via Velletri Nuovo Salario, Rome, 00198
Telephone: 00 39 06 8412212
Take the metro (or a taxi!) to Trieste

A happening club-bar in the Nuovo Salario where hot young things from the local fashion and film world check each other out over their long drinks. It can get pretty posey but the DJ grooves are often spot-on, whether it's hard house on weekends or more eclectic tunes in the week. They have a couple of dansfloors, and the music is dance, trance and house music. It's a pretty trendy place, and you'll met trannies and trendy romans.

Supperclub

Via de'Nari 14
Rome,
Telephone: 0039 06 6880 7207

Sister club to the already legendary Amsterdam Supperclub, the Rome version is even more sensational because it’s still such a secret. Set in a gorgeous restored 3rd century mansion (what Roman buildings are not works of art?) it’s tucked down a narrow alley, has no sign on the door or bouncers outside and you’ll miss it if you didn’t know it was here. Inside though it’s unforgettable: a forest of extravagant drapes lead to Bar Rouge holding area, beyond which are two sultry salons – Salle Neige and Baroque. On plush white beds the elite of Roman society recline like stars in La Dolce Vita, violinists and DJs provide the soundtrack and, unbelievably, waitresses massage you as you recline on the sofas! Or perhaps that was a one off. Either way, it’s like the Carlsberg ads have come to life. Cocktails mixed by unfeasibly sexy staff are world class, none finer than the Smoky Martini: Monte Cristo cigars are seeped in Lagavulin single malt and stirred over ice with frozen vodka and a dash of vermouth. Who comes up with these ideas? Add fine contemporary food, a great CD featuring Groove Armada and David Holmes, and you are living La Dolce Vita.

Anima

57, Via Santa Maria dell'Anima Centro Storico
Rome, 00186
Telephone: 00 39 066864021

One the hottest and hippest food-club-bar spots in the capital when last did you get sushi with your drum 'n' bass? Décor is very postmodern, done up with divan seats, beds and er, tyres, for young Romans in club accessories to lounge on. Expert DJs spin non-stop funk, soul, house and jungle while aperitifs - how chic, are served from 6pm to 10. So you really can sip a cocktail and eat sushi listening to the latest break beats. Unlike most club-bars in Rome, entrance is free.

Bar della Pace

3/7 Via della Pace
Rome,
Telephone: 00 39 06 686 1216
Hours: 9am-2am daily

As much of a Rome fixture as Trevi Fountain, this eternally trendy café-bar is really called Antico but no-one knows it as such. Moneyed locals sit at wicker tables beneath fonds of green ivy and survey passing fashion victims carrying the latest from Versace or Gucci. Drinks are pricey but pretty standard for the area and the same owner has an equally stylish pizzeria next door. A true institution.

Bar del Fico

Piazza del Fico
Rome,
Telephone: 00 39 668 65205
Hours: Mon - Sat 9.00am-2.00am; Sun 12.00pm - 2.00am

Formerly a neighborhood coffee bar, now a street-side institution that gets so packed on summer nights you may think you’re queuing for a Roma game. There are few cooler places to order a long-glass drink and soak up the sun while watching the beauties pass by. The rickety interior is done up in much neon and plastic and the lively banter and fun atmosphere is the perfect antidote to the sometimes museum-hushed seriousness of the city around you. Not to be missed.
