Here is what it will happen!
Join this three-day MeetUp in Rome and visit it together with local people and other DiscoverEU participants.
You will be astonished by the beauty of the Roman streets and monuments, which are rich of incredible traditions and history. You will discover how centuries of cultures enriched all sides of the city. Moreover, you will get the chance to try typical Roman food, including the famous Carbonara.
Rome is located in the central portion of the Italian peninsula, on the Tiber River about 24 km inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Once the capital of an ancient republic and empire whose armies and policy defined the Western world in antiquity and left seemingly indelible imprints thereafter, the spiritual and physical seat of the Catholic Church, and the site of major pinnacles of artistic and intellectual achievement, Rome is the Eternal City, remaining today a political capital, a religious centre, and a memorial to the creative imagination of the past.
