When in Rome, do as the Romans do – a sentiment that sums up the perfect business trip to Rome. Don’t go where every tourist is going, go where even the Romans are queueing to get a closer look. The ESC 2016 in Rome is an ideal opportunity to discover the Eternal City off the beaten track. While the ESC Congress makes for a valuable exchange of information as well as the chance for networking with leading researchers, a business trip to Rome should always include at least some Italian flavour. Rome wasn’t built in a day – that means there is a lot to discover for tourists and locals alike.

We have assembled some inside tips for your next business trip to Rome – whether you’re taking part in the ESC Congress or any other event – these are the sights you need to appreciate before heading back home again.

The Roman Palate: Where to Eat in Rome

Italy in general and Rome in particular are famous for their spectacular cuisine. The Eternal City is crammed with good places to regain your strength after a busy day at the ESC Congress. Fancy restaurants with excellent house wines, tiny places with loads of character and homemade fettuccine as well as food markets that will introduce you to the real Roman palate at a reasonable price.

If you can stomach more deliciousness, try the spelt dumplings in truffle sauce – you won’t regret it! Frozen custard with almond cookies and sweet wine will leave you speechless – and replete.

Marzapane: the stylish. This one is hard to get in – so make sure you reserve in advance. No wonder, since its was voted one of the best in the city.

Vineria Litro offers delicious meats and cheeses and a range of soups and rice dishes to go with that special wine bouquet.

One Night in Rome: Do it the Roman way

The Romans tend to start their nights late – so there’s enough time to recuperate after your delicious Italian dinner. Whether it’s a sophisticated evening, a ground-shaking party or a relaxed drink with friends you’re looking for – Rome has the place for you.

Stravinskiy Bar: the civilized. Situated within the walls of 5* luxury Hotel de Russie, Stravinskij Bar offers a private piazza for an eclectic crowd.

The laid-back atmosphere of this little gem in the heart of the centro storice is perfect for an evening with newly met colleagues, old friends or even a night out alone.

Vinile: the infamous. Vinile is one of Rome’s hottest night clubs and would not be out of place in New York or London. It’s located on one of the busiest streets in Rome’s nightclub neighbourhood and offers live music ranging from folklore to swing. When the live music ends, the DJs enter the stage.
