Has anyone here been to Rome?
- Thread starter chefbone
- Start date
How long do you have?
If short, tour the Vatican (world's smallest country), the Colessum and Forum.
If you get a chance take a tour of Republic era and then a tour of the Empire era.
If you are going to rent a car, I can recommend a few short trips to the outer area for you.
Visit all seven hills for a complete panaramic view of the entire city.
Fuck resturants, just eat when you come across something... spend the rest of the time enjoying the city. Use your military (I assume) pass to get discounts in hotels.

Roman Forum (actually, walk from the Colloseum to the Piazza de la Republica), you will go across the Arches (Tito et all) and the Forum.
If you have some time, go the Domus Aurea (Nero Residence), right next to the Colloseum
Several of the Piazzas are cool (specially for the lots of chicks): Piazza Spagna, Piazza del Popolo, etc.
Don't miss the monoliths they stole from Egypt, tour the Vatican.... skip the churches, once you see one you've seen them all.
Fuck, Rome is amazing, you need a week to see more or less something.
La Boca de la Veritá is well known, worth a pic, but not much

No, unfortunately, I haven't, but I hear that while you are there, you should do as the Romans do. ;-)

Awesome pics Pintoca, is that stone face called "mouth of truth" or something like that? I think it was a way of seeing if someone was lying or not. The person would place his hand inside the mouth and if it closed that meant they were lying.
My grandparents lived right across from the Colloseum. I've been to Naples when I was 10...if Italy wins the world cup I'm going back...there's so much I still want to see.

Lived in Rome for two years. If you want to get the whole experience stay in hostel. Nothing rated under 4 stars. For some kickin night life, the club called the alien is a must. B careful of the meals there. Everything is seven courses, and they're not the healthiest people in the world where cuisine is concerned. Have fun, it's a great trip.

We pulled into Port Fiumicino, Italy about 30 miles from Rome for the Fourth of July 1991. Italy provided transport for the crew back and forth from Rome. Great times. Definately check Vatican City and the Coliseum out. Beware of seating at outdoor cafes, you are charged for both your drink and a "rental fee" for the seat. Only for the first drink, however. I think Rome has the best calimari of the Mediterranean.
