Rome, The Eternal City. Great offers on flights from East Coast Australia to Rome, Italy in October-November. Multiple airlines and certain segments are codeshare flights. Play around with your dates. Let the search complete and filter by airline and then book with your preferred OTA.
I've travelled to Rome multiple times and it's a gorgeous city and it's a destination you can keep on visiting. Be sure to choose a hotel within the heart of the city as essentially, all major tourist attractions are within 15-30 minutes walking distance and public transport is plentiful. I would highly recommend staying at the "Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & SPA" if you can find a great deal on your chosen dates. Directly situated next to the Villa Borghese Gardens. I've stayed here several times and it took me less than 20 minutes to walk past the Trevi Fountain, all the way to the Pantheon for breakfast each morning.
