easyJet has launched its first flights from Glasgow Airport to Rome Fiumicino in Italy.
The inaugural flight from Glasgow to Rome took off this morning and will now operate up to four times a week, perfect for a getaway to enjoy the grandeur of the Italian capital.
Boasting a rich and storied past, Rome captivates history lovers and culture enthusiasts alike with world-famous landmarks including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the awe-inspiring Pantheon. Art aficionados won’t want to miss the masterpieces housed in the Vatican Museums, including Michelangelo’s ceiling in the Sistine Chapel.
The Eternal City is equally famed for its culinary scene, where travellers can indulge in authentic Roman pasta dishes in a cosy trattoria to fine dining with a view of ancient ruins. Whether wandering cobbled streets or tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain, travellers will find Rome as delicious as it is unforgettable.
