Rome becomes quite warm during the months of July and August, but thinking about something cool and refreshing like a nice swimming pool is a good way to forget it.
Everybody visiting Rome during the summer should know that on July 17th the 13th FINA World Championships (the swimming World championships) will begin. The nearby Foro Italico has been enlarged with the construction of Roma09, a purpose-built village to house participants and visitors.
All disciplines will take place at Foro Italico except for open water events which that will take place in Ostia.
For last minute travellers who want to attend this event, Dolce Vita Villas offers luxury apartments for rent in the heart of Rome, the perfect starting point both for the championships (the Foro Italico can be reached in 10 minutes from the city centre by tram) and to visit the splendid and eternal city.
