Rome is called The Eternal City for a reason. This vibrant historical and cultural mecca is visited by millions of wide-eyed tourists each year. If you\u2019re still hesitating over booking that flight, we\u2019ve gathered five photos that\u2019ll make you want to walk out of your office and never come back (but please don\u2019t do that). With museums this remarkable and food this drop-dead delicious, everything else can wait.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. The food.<\/strong> Italian food is the best. It just is. Tell me you don\u2019t want to devour this bowl of pasta right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. The fashion. <\/strong>Gucci, Valentino, and Armani are the only men I\u2019ll ever need. Milan may be Italy\u2019s fashion hub, but Rome has no shortage of style-savvy denizens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. The churches.<\/strong> Boasting over 900 churches<\/a>, one could say that Rome is livin\u2019 on a prayer. Millions of them, for that matter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Viva<\/p>\n

4. The history. <\/strong>The Coliseum. The Trevi Fountain. The Pantheon. It\u2019s pretty much your duty to journey to the birthplace of civilization.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. The art galleries and museums.<\/strong> The Eternal City isn\u2019t short on culture. There are dozens of museums<\/a> in Rome, including one dedicated entirely to horse-drawn carriages.
