Pros: Everything (take it all in)
Cons: Very hot and sticky in summer, traffic.
First word of advice: do not attempt to drive in Rome. Of all the cities I have visited in my many travels, Rome is by far the worst for automobile travel. Rules are not adhered to, as people drive on curbs and will actually resort to hitting cars that...

Pros: Sights, architecture, food,
Cons: hotel could have been better
We searched a lot of information about hotels in Rome well before our June vacation. We settled on staying at Hotel Mediterraneo. This hotel is located near the Termini RR station. It was ok. It is supposed to be superior, gets four stars...

Pros: great sites/sights
Cons: crowded, expensive, dirty and noisy.
I spent a month in Europe in the fall of 1998 (see my reviews of Florence and London). While Florence was my favorite city, I believe Rome was the least pleasurable experience of my trip. It was crowded, dirty and expensive. The food was not nearly as...

Pros: World history comes alive
Cons: Confusing without a good guide book
I recently spent 3 full days in Rome, and found myself with time on my hands by the third day. The major sites, including the Colloseum, the Forum, and the Vatican, plus hours of shopping can all be covered in just two days. It is certainly a...

Pros: beautiful weather and cites
Cons: watch out for gipsys
I travelled through Rome last year visiting Michealangilo's David which I took some pictures of to send to friends back home. Visiting the Garden od Eden, a beautifully carved monument that gracefully flowed itself into a magnificent fountain. Water...

Pros: amazing sights
Cons: never enough time
Having lived for a time in Rome, I can tell you that no matter how long you're there, you will never see everything. There is simply too much. But there are some things you have to see, and if you had just one day (albeit a busy, jam packed one) here is...

Pros: Beautiful on one side
Cons: Very dirty on the other side
The Palace of Justice is called the "Bad Palace" because when it was completed, it was too close to the Tiber River. It began to sink, so the foundation had to be fortified with injected cement. It is so large, and covered with...

Pros: Exciting learning experience!
Cons: Could be grievous.
Passing Through Rome
On my way to Russia on a missionary trip, we had to stay one day and night in Rome. The evening began with a walk to the Mediterranean Sea. My hotel room was about 3 blocks from the coast passing by the...

Pros: good weather and great food
Cons: transports are not reliable
There are three main reasons why someone should visit this marvellous city: history, sun and fun. The first impression you get is that you have never been to any place which can be compared to Rome. It will seem to you like you have just jumped into...

Pros: Amazing, beautiful, a lot to see
Cons: A lot to see. You will probably not get to see everything. Can be pricey.
My husband and I spent 3 nights and 4 days in Rome. We had an amazing time. We spent most of our time in Ancient Rome because that was the most interesting to us. It was amazing to see all the ruins and historical artifacts of such an important part ...

Pros: Art and ancient architecture: St. Peter's Basilica; the Sistine Chapel; the Coliseum
Cons: Sexism; pickpockets; dirty, dirty city; rude people; bad food
I'll be the sixth person out of the 121 so far to give Rome a very low rating. Plain and simple, here is the Rome I visited: 1) The People: If you are female, you really ought to rig yourself to deliver an electric shock to the many Italian men who wil ...

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

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

Pros: Amazing Sites
Cons: No Cons!
Review Topic: Overview
I went to Rome for the first time in November of 1999. It was nothing but wonderful!
The weather was perfect -- it was in the 70's. Although there was some rain, the weather was not too bad....
