Brussels. The flight and hotel search engine, Jetcost, periodically analyses the searches carried out through its website to maintain up-to-date and reliable data and not just predictions or surveys. Those who analysed the 2016 results showed that the majority of Europeans who decided to travel to Italy in the last year chose Rome. Despite being one of the oldest cities in the world, attracts over 16 million tourists per year, the capital is also a very dynamic place where bright modern buildings interact with ancient ruins. The world’s best architects have to Rome’s contemporary image such as Richard Meier, Renzo Piano, Massimiliano Fuksas. Good examples of their work are the Auditorium Parco della Musica, the MAXXI National Museum of the 21st Century Arts designed by Zaha Hadid or the EUR district. All this has made the city the most sought-after destination for Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, German and Dutch travellers, and the second choice for Russians tourists. (9Colonne)
