That’s tomorrow, you know. Julius Caesar’s assassination on March 15th, 44 BC and the dramatisation of that brutal event by William Shakespeare, have forever marked March 15th as a day of infamy.
Those keen to walk in the footsteps of Caesar and his assassins, but unwilling to fork out for a room in an expensive hotel in the Italian capital, would do well to investigate the eminently affordable three-day Rome city break offered by An Óige, the Irish Youth Hostel Association, in collaboration with the Italian Youth Hostel Association. The package costs just €140 (€150 during high season) and includes three nights half-board at Foro Italico Youth Hostel, a three-day Rome pass facilitating free entry to into two museums and a 50 per cent reduction on all others, as well as unlimited access to all bus and metro lines, a ferry cruise along the Tiber and a one-day city sightseeing tour. All you have to do is make your own way there and back.
