If you are looking for a great sigtseeing weekend away in Europe with plenty of history and amazing, steeped in tradition things to see then Rome is the city for you. I was taken there two years ago by my husband and absolutely loved it. Definitely one of the best sites to see is the Colosseum for the sheer wonder of it. I would suggest you spare most of the day to see it as there is a lot to do. Firstly get there early as there are thousands and thousands of visitors every time. The queue to get tickets was unbelieveable so we joined a group by paying 10 Euros more I think and that got us in a lot quicker. it's better to do this than show yourself around. The price then also included an audio pack that you could listen to as you went around the Colosseum. As soon as we got in we ditched our tour guide and looked around the palce ourself. It is just unbelieveable to imagine all the history that took pleace here. You can get some amazing photos so be sure to take your camera. Beware - it is expensive - we had two Italian ice creams by the Colosseum and they cost us over 30 Euros, they were very ncie tough. Other sites I would suggest that are a must in Rome are the Vatican/Sistine Chapel, the Trevi fountain and also try some fresh pasta, it's the best in the world! Getting around is quite easy, their subway system is cheap and quick, beware of the taxi drivers though, if they pick up that you are foreign and can't speak Italian they will take you the long way round, this happened to us and we only just realised too late but please don't let that put you off, Rome is a wonderful place.
