The Eternal City. Capital of the World. Throne of St. Peter. Like Birmingham, Italy’s capital has many nicknames. But you only need to say ‘Rome’, and everyone is already building a mental picture that’s rich in history, cuisine, religion, culture, and architecture that few other cities can rival.
You can now experience this great city yourself, ahead of the easter holidays and summer crowds, as easyJet has launched flights and package holidays on a new route from Birmingham Airport—with flights operating four times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
“We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new service from Birmingham to Rome, giving our customers in the Midlands convenient connectivity to Italy’s capital at great value fares,” said Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager.
“Our continued success in the Midlands is a clear testament to the continued popularity of our flights and holidays, and the growth of our fleet with an additional aircraft in Birmingham this summer will further unlock the opportunity of the demand that we see for both leisure and business travel.”
Why visit Rome?
The reasons should be obvious. From iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and Vatican City, to the world’s most incredible foods, like the four classic Roman pastas (cacio e pepe, carbonara, amatriciana, and gricia), and two unique pizza styles (pizza al taglio and pizza tonda). If you like old rocks, beautiful art, and gorgeous food, Rome’s the one!
