Italy v Scotland

What’s not to love about this? A weekend in Rome and a taste of the good life following Scotland Rugby – it has every ingredient to be special. And Scotland fans will need no reminding of how difficult it can be against the Azzurri on their home turf. In 2024, Italy won by two points in a thrilling, topsy-turvy contest and will be relishing the chance of a repeat. But with Flower of Scotland cascading down from the stands and Scotland fans in full voice, Gregor Townsend’s men will be confident of success.

Rome is a living museum, bursting with life, history and flavour. From the grandeur of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum to the spiritual majesty of St Peter’s Basilica, every corner tells a story. With time on your side on a rugby weekender following Scotland, this is a city not to be missed. It is a weekend that has something for everyone – history, culture, magical food and drink – all you have to do is enjoy.

Your break will include accommodation at the  DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti which is a stylish hotel in the charming Rione Monti neighbourhood. This recently renovated hotel features modern rooms and suite with modern amenities. During your stay you can unwind at the rooftop bar with stunning city views, stay active in the fitness room, and enjoy the all-day café. The hotel is within walking distance of major attractions such as the Colosseum, Piazza di Spagna, and Fori Imperiali, offering a perfect blend of comfort and convenience in the heart of Rome.

There are many things that go hand in hand with a great rugby weekend with Scottish Rugby. Sharing drinks with friends, enjoying the history and culture of fantastic countries and of course food! Our food tour experiences are a great way to sample the regional delights of Italy with experts who will really get you to the heart and soul of favourite dishes at some of the best local eateries in each city.
