There is so much culture, history and breathtaking art to take in...3 weeks just wasn't enough time..so we're planning another trip back! Sightseeing throughout Rome takes a bit of walking around by foot, so start your days... More

Simply a pleasure to stroll around these wonderful shop and restuarant lined streets. Only downside is the amount of beggars and bangladeshie street traders, i will be suprised if there are any left in there own country. Would have been 5 stars except for the hassling

You cannot be in Rome and not stroll down the narrow streets and alleys taking you from Piazza Navona to Piazza della rotonda to Fontana di Trevi. You can sit in a Cafe in one of the piazzas or have a nice dinner in a restaurant or just enjoy a gelato on the go. This whole area is fun and... More

You'll need at least a whole week: tons of monuments, landscapes and point of interest to view. Obviously don't miss the opportunity to loose yourself rounding every corner you find interesting (but don't forget a map!). You'll see ancient fountains, columns, locals... could be crowded if sunny. Buy a sandwich in a "Salumeria" (less than 3€), cheap and tasty.

The eternal city offers the most varied attractions from the Forum to temples & excellent hidden away places to eat and drink.

The streets of the Centro Storico are just wonderful You can feel the history all around. But it's alive, not like a dusty exhibit! Round every corner there's a wonderful surprise. It's lively at night. We went in Septenber and it was lovely.
