New Delhi, August 31, 2023: On 30 October 2023, LOT Polish Airlines, a member of Star Alliance, launches operations between the airline’s hub at Warsaw’s Chopin Airport and Rome. This new service provides an additional option for travellers from India to visit the “Eternal City” and dive into the capital of the ancient Roman empire, stroll through baroque palazzi and experience the La Dolce Vita lifestyle.
As Rome is among Europe’s ten largest cities, travellers can expect various cultural, religious and culinary offerings. The impressive ruins of the Colosseum, the St. Peter’s Basilica as capital of the Catholic Church, tasty Italian dishes and the Mediterranean Sea nearby, welcome visitors from all over the world.
Culinary pleasure between Italian classics and the modern cuisine
Pizza and pasta lovers will be excited about the various vegetarian and non-veg options to taste. A lot of small and cosy family-owned trattorias and restaurants with secret family recipes welcome guests all over the city. Furthermore, the proximity to the sea allows for a wonderful selection of fresh seafood. Italy’s modern cuisine expands the selection of taste with desserts and Michelin-awarded creations when traditional Italian ingredients, such as basil, parmesan, fresh olive oil, garlic and tomato are combined with the exquisite modern art of cooking. Renowned restaurants offer exceptional dining experiences in taste and ambience, having a stunning view over the city and historic sites.

Aroma, a gourmet restaurant, is known for its beautiful terrace with a close view to the Colosseum and an exquisite menu offering vegetarian, meat and fish options. It also has a superb selection of wines. www.manfredihotels.com/de/aroma

La Dolce Vita surrounded by ancient walls
The Italian way of life, the so-called Dolce Vita, emphasizes the good life. It stands for seven core values: Good and healthy food; cultivation of friendship; appreciation of the family; moderate pleasure bringing luck and happiness; relaxed way of living without demanding obligations; enjoying life to the fullest and appreciating the beauty of life. Embedded in a modern Western society, surrounded by the ancient walls as a witness of power, history and culture, Rome offers a charming yet imposing atmosphere unlike any other place around the globe. Historic sites such as the Forum Romanum, the Trevi Fountain or the Pantheon invite to explore the history of one of the oldest cities in Europe, which was founded almost 3,000 years ago. Furthermore, the Vatican Museums present some of the most famous pieces of art in the world.
If there is a desire for shopping, Rome offers diverse and vibrant options. Shopaholics enjoy charming small businesses and boutiques, as well as malls like the Centro Commerciale Aura (www.centrocommercialeaura.it) with legendary brands. Stylish shopping enthusiasts must visit the Via del Corso for affordable options or the Via dei Condotti for elegant boutiques and luxury brands.
As a religious centre, Rome is not only home to countless churches. Visitors may also find some beautiful Hindu worship places like Maha Kali Temple between Fiumicino Airport and Rome’s city centre.
