...There is so much to see and do in Rome that knowing where to start becomes something of a real Roman dilemma. In this fascinating city you can stumble across history at every step and major attractions are so many and so widely dispersed that it is not possible to see them all, if you are on a short visit.

...The imperial palace is the best building in the world , it is so big and menacing . Rome is a very picturesque city with beautiful venues and people!!!!!! The best way to travel around Rome is on moped , it gives u a better view and feel of the city. The vatican is absoulutely amazing , how can one man michaelangelo do such good artwork in one lifetime a true great .
Rome is also an exceptional place to shop, the amount of quality shops like diesel , gucci are just amazing. All of the people are very friendly and very organised . The best place to eat in Rome value for money is probably spizzico or Damiano's pizza place absoulutely fantastic.
ROME A MUST FOR ALL PEOPLE...

...rome is a city where there will be mixed opinions. if you like looking at museums, beautiful pieces of art and great buildings, then rome is for you. i loved rome, and i am not really into this, but im sure, for people who are not interested in these things, they cant help but feel excited looking at buildings 2000 years old. if you like going to places and just wandering around, rome is great for this. you can wander anytime during the summertime, and you will be ensured of company. a great and interesting city. definetely one to visit....

I spent the delay at the airport and the flight checking... more
