  • Rome, On Our Own.

    Jan 03 '03
    Pros: An amazing city with a wonderful mix of the old and new.
    Cons: Hot in the summer.

    Summary: My wife and I celebrated our thirtieth anniversary with a trip to Italy. We stayed in Rome for a week before moving on to other parts of the country. We decided not to do Italy through a tour but rather on our own. We used the internet including ...

  • Rome: You'll need a vacation after your vacation

    Jul 17 '11
    Pros: So much to do!
    Cons: Packed with tourists
    Extremely expensive

    Summary: Rome was my first introduction to the wonderful country of Italy. I flew into Rome and spent three days there as the starting destination of my Italian tour. My first impression of Rome was in the Fiumicino Airport where I soon realized ...

  • WhatdoIknow about Roma 2010

    Jul 10 '10
    Pros: Amazing Art/history, Excellent/reasonably-priced food,drink, gelato, unique wonderful ambiance
    Cons: Hot in the summer, ever present street thievery, accomodations can be pricey, crummy in parts

    Summary: Just returned from a late June 2010 week in Roma. It seemed pretty much the same city I remembered from a first teenage trip to Europe – just as hot, just as dirty and full of thieves, and just as fascinatingly beautiful. All things considered, if ...

  • Rome via Cruise Ship

    Dec 15 '09
    Pros: It's Rome! It's all Pro!
    Cons: Lots to see. Try to plan a few days.

    Summary: My husband & I along with 2 other couples, took a 12 night cruise on the Carnival Freedom in May 2008. We flew non-stop from JFK on Eurofly & were pleasantly surprised with good service & a friendly staff. I had ...

  • What I Wish I Knew About Rome

    Nov 21 '09
    Pros: Rome is full of history, and has a wonderful atmosphere.
    Cons: Many of the sites were crowded.

    Summary:                   About two summers ago, I toured Italy with my high school.  We stayed in Rome for a couple days. It was an absolutely amazing experience, but I wish I ha...

  • Eurail, RIPOFF - Rome, good

    Sep 05 '07
    Pros: Rome is a must-see
    Cons: Go "must see" it in the off season. Eurail is a RIPOFF.

    Summary: I purchased a 3 day Eurail pass to Italy for my wife and I, which cost 306 Euro. I travelled from Rome-Florence, Florence-Venice, and Venice-Milan (a typical tourist itinerary in my opinion). Each segment required a 30 Euro supplement since we ...

  • Fabulous Rome

    Apr 11 '07
    Pros: Shops, nightlife, History, Culture, Food and Drink..what more can a girl need?
    Cons: Nothing, Rome is Fabulous

    Summary: I have just returned from one of the most memorable weekends of my whole life, celebrating my 21st birthday in where better than Rome. Rome is a must visit of the world, by far one of the most magical cities I have ever visited, with something for ...

  • Beautiful, Holy

    Apr 02 '07
    Pros: So much history to see. Amazing sights.
    Cons: Safety concerns for women travelers.

    Summary: I went to Rome with a couple friends on a backpacking trip over Christmas 2000. We were there for Midnight Mass and couldn't have been more excited over the experience - despite the rain! We stayed for 4 days, and could have easily stayed longer. The ...

  • Top Ten Must See Sights in Rome -- My Favorite City in the World!!

    Jan 18 '07
    Pros: Unique blend of history, religion and culture - great ruins, churches, and museums
    Cons: Can get crowded and hot in summer months

    Summary: While Paris may be more beautiful, Florence may have more art, and New York may have more energy – Rome is my favorite city in the world. Nowhere else will you find such a unique combination of history, religion, art, and culture. It has ancient ruins, ...

  • Capitol City

    Oct 29 '05
    Pros: The Eternal City has plenty for the compulsive shopper and the curious tourist alike
    Cons: Baking heat, lethal traffic, and your own personal pickpockets - but I still love it.

    Summary: If you're too sexy for Milan and think Florence belongs on the Magic Roundabout, perhaps it's time you took a Roman holiday. Italy's capital city offers monumental sights, stylish shops, delicious food, wall-to-wall sunshine, lethal traffic, ...

  • Amazing Rome

    Sep 18 '05
    Pros: History, lots of things too see and so, food, amazing museums, Gelato
    Cons: Too much to see, crowded around major sight, fear of being pickpocketed

    Summary: A short summary This trip report will focus on the trip that my wife Nikki and I took to Rome in the period from July 2nd - 7th 2005. We targeted out places that we wanted to see during our trip. On our list was the usual stuff such as the ...

  • Popes, Pantheons and Prostitutes!!

    Aug 12 '05
    Pros: Good food, wonderful architecture
    Cons: Smells a bit

    Summary: Well, I'm back from my Christmas present of a trip to Rome and boy do my feet hurt. But it was rather wonderful! I've decided not to do just a list of all the attractions like the Vatican, etc, but be a bit more basic, a bit more gritty, that is, my own ...

  • When in Rome and the Top 10

    Jul 11 '05
    Pros: Ruins ruins ruins everywhere...
    Cons: ...pickpockets, crowds, beggars, rude Romans.

    Summary: Rome is full of startling contradictions- it is the centre of Christianity yet has a 24-hour Tarot channel largely hosted by an effeminate man named Luis. Italy is the world's seventh largest economy but with a social structure more akin to a teetering ...

  • Rome's museums: there's much more to the Vatican

    Apr 30 '05
    Pros: Stunning art in a stunning setting without the crowds
    Cons: Funny opening hours, advance booking required

    Summary: I've finally come to the conclusion that in this age of mass consumption there is very little difference between a visit to the British Museum and one to your local shopping centre. Also I'm fed up with queuing hours in order to join an army of ...

  • BEST Rome Nightlife!

    Apr 25 '05
    Pros: The greatest nightlife. Chicest people. Most unique venues. Hands down.
    Cons: Watch out for aggressive (but often hot) Italian men (and women) and pricey venues.

    Summary: Rome definitely has one of the most vibrant and exciting nightlifes that I have ever experienced. Most people who I've spoken with have little regard for the night-time events and venues in Rome, but that's because most of the best places to go are kept ...

  • People watching: The eternal pastime in the eternal city.

    Aug 25 '04
    Pros: May be one of the best places in the world for people watching.
    Cons: If you don't like watching people, too bad.

    Summary: This isn't a typical review of Rome. It's an extract from the journal I kept during my recent trip to Italy. So, it doesn't mention a lot a specifics about Rome, but I hope it creates an impression that makes you want to visit this amazing city (but ...
