You don't so much come home from Rome, as survive to tell the tale, at least that's how I feel. That's not to say the spending five days there was unpleasant, but on balance I'm not making any immediate plans to go back. It soon becomes plain that this is a city of contrasting 'ations'; ...

See Rome And Die (On A Pedestrian Crossing)
Review of Rome in general by BNibbles

Advantages: Much to see.
Disadvantages: Noisy, traffic-choked, expensive, petty crime

...my shirt! Getting into Rome is pretty easy too. €11 gets you a one-way non-stop train ride called the Leonardo Express to Roma Termini, which, not surprisingly is Rome's main terminus station. This is scheduled to cover around 20-odd miles in 31 minutes, so non-stop it might be, an 'express' it isn't. Beware - the area around Termini is akin to London's King's Cross, i.e. a bit of a dump these days, complete with 'unofficial taxi drivers' and several ...
...- apparently it's not just Rome that was built on seven hills but each metre of pavement has come out in a kind of miniature sympathy. For goodness sake bring sensible walking shoes, hiking-trainers or whatever; you'll be glad to did. b) Rome's two- and four-wheeled road users will park anywhere and even if it against the law, no-one seems to care. This includes draped around street corners and obliterating pedestrian crossings, leaving the unsuspecting ... Read review

What I did on my holidays
Review of Rome in general by katgirl

Advantages: Beautiful city, history, art, weather
Disadvantages: Not understanding a word that was said

...desk back in London, my Rome trip seems like a lifetime ago and a million miles away... *****Day 1***** I flew out to Rome on Friday, about lunchtime, for a trip I had booked over a month ago through Expedia - which my boyfriend said I could have got much cheaper, but since I don't like sleeping in doorways, I thought it was worth the extra money to get a flight at a reasonable time and a decent hotel. I booked the Hotel Aris Garden, a 4-star ...
...after 10:30pm, having arrived in Rome at 5! I felt very tired & sweaty, so went straight to my room for a shower. The room had a huge bed, one wall was a window from waist height to ceiling for the whole side of the wall, there was a tv, phone, wardrobe with extra sheets and pillows, fridge (I didn't touch the drinks, honest!), nice little bathroom containing bath/shower, toilet, bidet, sink, towels for bath, linen hand towels, linen face cloths, ...

La Bella Roma
Review of Rome in general by the_mad_cabbie

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: Not a thing....well....maybe the traffic!!

...~ ~ Off course, Rome has far more to offer the visitor than the Vatican alone, which in actual fact is not part of Italy at all, but an independent state in its own right. A visit to the ancient Roman Coliseum is a must. Whenever a filmmaker depicts Rome, it is this structure which is invariably used as a backdrop, and when you visit it in person, it is easy to see why this is the case. It is over 2,000 years old, and in its heyday housed over 50,000 ...
...off course, no visit to Rome would be complete without a visit to the Trevi Fountain and The Spanish Steps, immortalised forever in the film “La Dolce Vita”. The fountain is probably one of the most visited places in Rome. Thousands of people come to admire it every day and to throw a coin in its waters, because, according to the legend, the one who tosses a coin into the fountain ensures his or her return to Rome. The whole city is a ... Read review

I came, I saw, I marvelled....
Review of Rome in general by Jamesyboy

Advantages: Amazingly inspiring
Disadvantages: Filthy, manic, decaying

...and indeed, only, trip to Rome so far was spent over Valentine's Day this year. My darling girlfriend had arranged it as a Valentine surprise, and even paid for most of it!! So it was already a top holiday before we stepped on the plane!! Now, I'm not the average tourist to Rome - I studied Classical Civilisation at GCSE, A-Level and even Degree level, so I kind of knew what to expect.....but nothing can completely prepare yourself for Rome, and ...
...study, the part of Rome we chose to visit was the 'ancient' part, close to the ruins that I have read so much about - the Colosseum, Roman Fora, Trajan's Column etc., along with some more recent monuments, like the Trevi Fountain and Victor Emmanuel Monument. I'll give you a little bit of background - the Roman Empire flourished for over three hundred years, from the early years BC to the first three centuries AD, before its gradually demise. As ...

Ciao Roma
Review of Rome in general by WhiteWitch

Advantages: History, breath-taking artwork, pizzas and icecreams
Disadvantages: Precious few WCs, more choice for veggies.

...WENT We visited Rome in the last week of March, 2001. At this time it is neither too hot nor too crowded. We packed short and long sleeved t-shirts with long sleeved shirts to wear over the top of these and took a fleece for cooler evenings and a jacket if it rained. The weather was somewhat warmer than it is here and a good deal sunnier. Don’t go at Easter unless this is a religious pilgrimage. The place is heaving with people then, all there to ...
...for a direct flight to Rome so had break our journey at Venice. This sounds more fun than it is. We ended up wandering around Venice airport for a couple of hours. Both flights were with Air Italia and we were delighted to find ourselves on scheduled rather than chartered flights on two out of the three journeys. (More leg room and slightly bigger more comfortable chairs with enough room for two people to use the arm-rests.) We had checked with ... Read review
