Advantages: Comfortable hotel - handy for the metro Disadvantages: Characterless - can be expensive
...This year, we mostly went to Italy.
We had booked a hotel a little to the south of Rome for a few nights as we wanted to visit places outwith the city but changed our plans for the Saturday night and tried to book a hotel in Rome itself. Not an easy task (at least not on my budget). Oh sure, you can stay in a pit close to Termini station, but not being suicidal, or wishing to part company with my belongings, and always leaving myself the option of swinging a cat should the chance arise, I'm afraid that's not for me.
Long story short...after several near things (literally) we ended up booking the Sheraton.
The Sheraton isn't in central Rome, it's in the EUR district. This presented no significant problem however. It's a breeze to find - take junction 26 on the ring road and head for central Rome. Go through the EUR district almost...

Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective
...The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits.
So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en
The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost.
The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's.
The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there.
The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you...

Advantages: Former Ancient World Wonder Disadvantages: Long ques to wait to buy tickets.
...When I visited Rome this New Year Holidays it was the best decision I have ever made in travelling. It was really worth. The very first stop which we wanted to see is the Colloseum which is called Colosseo by Italians is a very fantastic spot. The ticket will cost around 10 euros. Beware as there are plenty of theives roaming around and plenty of locals trying to cheat the travellers. We where cheated by two people dressed as roman warriors to take a picture of us and charged 10 Euros per picture. Without asking us, they took plenty of pictures and charged us 60 Euros. After coming home, when we printed the pictures, they were all out of focus. Do not ask any locals to take a picture of you. Rather trust a tourist.
Collosseum it self a huge and beautiful ancient ruin. You need atleast and hour to have a view at the whole place...
