Rome

Pros: History, people, culture
Cons: traffic, pickpockets

Before I get started, I should note that this review is a practical guide to Rome based on my experience there. I won't talk extensively about how amazing the Pantheon is at night, because a) you've just got to see it yourself and b) people...

Pros: Beautiful buildings, great food, good shopping
Cons: Some things are very expensive

I went to Rome during the summer. The weather was very nice and the city almost knocked me out with its beauty.
Having lived in Berlin, Germany for most of my life, I am used to old buildings and historical sights, but the buildings in Rome left me...

Pros: Beautiful and wonderful
Cons: Never enough time.

Rome

Rome is great. You could spend years exploring its treasures. That can also be one of its problems. There is so much to see and do that Rome is, at times, a bit overwhelming.

In my opinion it is sometimes nice to take a...

Pros: vast collection of treasures, the building itself, the Sistine Chapel
Cons: very very very big

Th Vatican Museums are rightly known for being some of the finest museums in the world. I use the plural here intentionally, although in fact, the museums are housing within the same building.. and some building it is!

Nestled in the heart of...

Pros: Great Football Crowd
Cons: none

Arriving in Rome, I checked into M&Js hostal, run by Roman twins named Mario and Luigi. The temperature surpassed that in Umbria by about 15 degrees, and the sky displayed a blue as taut as a drumskin. Palms rose up around Termini station,...

Pros: C'mon...It's ROME!
Cons: Hairy Italian men always trying to touch us blonde chicks

I love Rome. While not my favorite Italian city, I think it is the most fun. A city of sites and fountains, it is best when you go to Rome, not as a tourist, but as a visitor. There are two reasons for this: A. Tourists get pickpocketed and B. You...

Pros: price, convenience
Cons: hard to find stops at some locations

There are two ways to see Rome. A good way and a better way. A good way is to grab a map and start walking.... and walking... and walking! You will certainly see many sights both famous and not so famous. You will surely run into a wonderful pizzeria...

Pros: Great shops
Cons: No one was found

Review Topic:  Shopping

Rome, the eternal city is famed for the magnificence of its monuments and fountains, its historical and cultural traditions, and the wealth of its architectural history. Visitors descending on the Italian...

Pros: beautiful scenery, great shopping
Cons: the hike back up...

My graduation present from my father was a trip to Europe for my mother and I. We lived the good life for 10 days as we took a whirlwind tour through London, Paris, and Rome. Each day was a new adventure, and a beautiful memory--the MOST memorable day...

Pros: Great food, low prices, maps and more
Cons: Not exactly the "Italian experience"

The Coliseum, Pantheon, Palentine Hill, Trevi Fountain, Castle St. Angelo's, Etruscan Tombs, Vatican City, St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel, and the beautiful Tiber river, to name a few of the famous names that you wanted to hear. Well, there they...

Pros: Beautiful architecture and art
Cons: traffic and pollution

I was on a cruise in the Caribbean when our boat docked at the port in Civitavecchia, Italy. My group consisted of around 20 students from high school and our guides were my Latin teacher and her husband. It was a brutally hot day and the cab drivers...

Pros: Sites/history & food
Cons: too little time in Roma!

January in Rome was chilly but being with an organized group with transportation & a tour guide helped! A nice local Chianti wine at lunch always warmed the heart up before taking back to the cobbled streets of Roma!

Staying in Rome, may I...

Pros: absolutely everything
Cons: not that many :)

Rome was perhaps the most wonderful city I've ever been to. First of all, ancient Rome is truly stunning in appearance. I of course went to see the Colosseum, which was one of the most stunning sights I've ever seen. I've been to all sorts of places...

Pros: Great sights, great food, great shopping
Cons: Heat and crowds in summer, crowded roads, crowded stores and crowded restaurants

Travelling in Rome can be both exhilarating and exhausting, especially in the summer. Although the scenery and sights are a wonder, the traffic, heat and mounds of tourists make it impossible to go from one place to another easily. I have gone to Rome...

Pros: Beauty created by talent
Cons: noisy people who don't obey the no talking rules

There are 650 people in the State of the Vatican, created in 1506, and conquered by the Italian Army and reduced in size. In 1929, February 11, Mussolini and the Pope signed an agreement to have the Swiss Army guard it.
We began our tour with the...
