Rome

Pros: Lots of variety and people-watching

The Bernini Fountain, in Piazza Navona, had 4 huge statues of men in different poses, each representing one of the four largest rivers at the time: The Nile, whose source was not known, so that man's head was covered with a towel, and there was also a...

Since there already plenty of positive comments on Rome here, I thought it is better to give you some useful addresses. I start with my favourite, which is also a well know meeting spot for locals. It is a place where dei sell ice-creams: "Gelateria...

Pros: Great History
Cons: pick pockets

If you are looking for romance, go to Venice. However, Rome is a great city to spend one maybe two days in. With the Vatican really close, you could almost spend a whole day around there. In Rome, you have to go to a pasta shop and get some. You have...

Pros: Situated near centre
Cons: None

When i went to Rome in February i found a very reasonably price hotel called Quattro Fontaine. The hotel reception area was beautifuly decorated in a medievil style with Armour guard statues, large rugs and a stunning sofa. The hotel had fifty rooms and...

Pros: Crowded, dirty
Cons: History, culture

Everywhere you look in Rome, there is history... there is culture... and there is life. There is so much more to see and do than the Colesium and the Vatican City (though both of those are musts), a trip to the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain are also...

Living in Rome we are always seraching for the best restaurants. Friends told us about Sybilla restaurant which while a 40 minute drive from central Rome, sounded interesting. The restaurant is lovely and quaint. and can only be reached on foot. The...

Pros: ruins and history
Cons: rudeness!!!

I had the opportunity to take a trip to Italy a few years back and I loved everything but Rome!!
First off the city is dirty and the Italians there are rude. In Italy, especially Rome, it seems that everyone can speak English until you really need...

Pros: There was always something to see. There was tuns of high fashion stores too.
Cons: The heat was a little crazy. But besides that Rome was amazing!

Rome is one of my favorite places in Europe! The history and the stories behind this city could keep you for weeks. The Forum was incredible. I never wanted to leave. The Colosseum was a must see. The Vatican was interesting and beautiful, but took a really long time to get through. The arcitecture of today could never be compared to that of the ancient city. This is the trip of a life time for anyone.

My wife and I recently returned from Rome. We took tours with Presto reservations.vatican-tours.com We found the tour to be excellent. We were fortunate that the group on the day was only 5 strong, thus leaving my wife and I to have virtually a personal guided tour round the museums. Our guide, Valerio was very good indeed and seemed to know the subject well. We received confirmation of our tour within minutes by email.

Pros: all the history, beautiful,
Cons: graffitti everywhere, ripoff taxis, easy to spot a tourist, people selling ripoff handbags everywhere

we had four days to do rome and i must say, it was quite a squeeze of time, considering the old saying "rome, in an eternity, is not enough". we did the basics: the spanish steps, trevi fountain, the vatican, and the roman ruins. then we decided to explore the city for ourselves. that was the most rewarding part of the trip, finding your own little restuarants filled with only italians and not one word of english surrounds you. i dont suggest trying to attempt rome in only four days, but if you must, i highly suggest exploring the city for yourself.
