Images Of Rome

There aren't many cities in the world like Roma. No matter which way you turn you set your eyes on imposing monuments, dramatic statues or lavish fountains. Walking around the streets today it is easy to envisage what it would've been like centuries ago when crowds thronged to the Colossuem, Caesar's foot soldiers paroled the streets and everyone was decked in sandals. Once darkness falls it isn't as lively as some other European cities, but if you don't find a bar which gets your pulse racing don't worry - the city looks twice as breathtaking at night.

    Blown away by Rome

    I visited Rome twice during my trip, totalling 4 nights in this amazing city. It still wasn't enough. Most days I spent around 6+ hours sight-seeing and I still wasn't able to see everything on my 'must see' list. Every corner you walk around, there is a breathtaking building, and every time you think you have found the most amazing building in the city, another one pops up to surprise you. I loved everything about it, and will be coming back many many times in my life.

    Insider Tip:Spend at least 5 days here if you really want to experience what this city has to offer. Also eat as much gelato as you possibly can - try every flavour too, I'm yet to find a bad flavour.

    Rome is one of the World Cities in Europe and one of the birthplaces of European Culture, absolutely interesting and worth seeing it, the only thing that I didn't like were that many things are absolutely overpriced in Tourist Areas

    Insider Tip:Just have an espresso at the Bar, but don't sit down, so it is cheaper, visit as much as you lik and make a walk through the city in the late evening

    Rome

    Fantastic food, too much places to see but we stayed for only three days. We really enjoyed food there. There is an ice cream shop around Fontana di Trevi offering life-long-never-forget ice cream!

    Insider Tip:Short stay there, not too much tips. Just thinking about Roma pass is not always the good solution. Think twice before buying it.

    My first time there ... astomishing city for a trip, but I wouldn't live there .. public transport needs serious improving .. apart from that - I recommend it to anyone .. at least a week needed to visit all the most important attractions

    Insider Tip:Go early in the morning to the Colloseum to avoid the long lines ... and very early to the Vatican Museums, as the lines there are usually at least a km long

    unfriendly atmosphere

    Rome is very interesting place to see but people there are arrogant and make you feel like an intruder. They don't even try to speak English and the information is very bad. City full of pick pockets!

    Insider Tip:Beware of pickpockets; you need a lot of patience with Italians.
