The eternity thing is no reason to postpone a visit to Rome. Especially if the journey is this easy. It is well known that there are many ways to get to Rome, but the most comfortable way to get there is on the Nightjet train from Vienna, Salzburg, Villach or Munich.
The new-generation Nightjet delivers a whole new travel experience on the Vienna - Rome, Salzburg - Rome and Munich - Rome routes and impresses with its modern design, innovative features and greater comfort. For solo travellers and couples, for example, the compact layout of the new Mini Cabins offers an extra level of privacy and everything you need for an undisturbed overnight trip.
For those particularly seeking the experience of a travelling hotel room, the sleeper car compartment offers everything that you need: from a cosy bed, your own ensuite and fluffy towels to an exclusive moonlit view before you close your eyes.
Attractions
The eternal city in the heart of Italy also has an infinitely long list of places of interest up its sleeve. The Colosseum, truly a colossus right in the middle of the city, is certainly a must-see. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world and once served as a meeting place for 50,000 spectators who came to watch gladiatorial fights in ancient Rome.
Even more people fit into St. Peter's Basilica, by the way. This impressive church building accounts for almost one-fifth of the entire Vatican City. It is also worth visiting the Vatican Museums with their art treasures from classical antiquity to the Renaissance - and of course the Sistine Chapel, whose ceiling Michelangelo decorated with the world-famous scenes from Genesis. An underground passageway connects the Vatican with the impressive Castel Sant Angelo, which was originally a mausoleum and then served as a fortress.
After visiting one of the world's oldest buildings, the Pantheon, the Forum Romanum and the romantic Trastevere Quarter, you can finally relax in the evening. The Spanish Steps, where you can watch the bustle in Piazza di Spagna, is a great place to do so. And finally you should pay a visit to Neptune at the Baroque Trevi Fountain - just to make sure that it was not the last visit to Rome: To make sure, you simply throw a coin into the well over your right shoulder with your left hand and book the next Nightjet ticket.
