The E&S House situated in a quiet area with private courtyard and next to the famous basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, 100 meters from the Basilica of Saint Giovanni, 1 km... more...from the Colosseo.
Advantages: An unusual and dramatic experience.. Disadvantages: If you have to queue in the sun.
Visiting the Colosseum in Rome is an experience you will not forget. I did not know what to expect when I went there.Everyone has seen photographs of the outside of the Colosseum and the inside as it once was has been reconstructed in many film sets. What did I really expect to see; I do not know but I suppose that I thought I would be disappointed at how little of it was intact or looked authentic. this was not the case though.
From the outside the Colosseum Rome is a strange building, when you try to take photographs of it you seem to notice how some pieces of its structure look at odd angles to other parts of it. There are usually long queues of tourists waiting to get into the Colosseum.

The historical battle sections is one of my favourites, it contains pre set famous battles from the past, and allows you to take the position of one of the armies, it is even possible to save the battle replay. For replay value this ...
Advantages: A lifetime of sights to see, excellent transport, amazing ice cream Disadvantages: Very busy
I visited here with two student friends in 2003, on a mission to soak up a lot of culture, have a great time and not spend much money, and we did pretty well on all counts. After sitting through years of torturous Latin lessons at school, I had high hopes for the city. We managed to find possibly the strangest hotel in Rome to stay in, the Hotel Giarda, near Stazione Termini, where they monitored our every movements through strategically placed security cameras, and the chamber maids had a good daily rifle through our luggage, but other than that it was well situated for exploring.
Here are my top Roma sights (in no particular order):
Vatican City: Even though this is slap bang in the middle of Rome, the Vatican is technically an independent state, with the Pope as sovereign, its own post office and legal system, and definitely ...
