Advantages: Bags of history, fantastic tour guides, beautiful views Disadvantages: None noticable
The immensity of these historical remains took my breath away before I had even begun to learn about the depth and horror of its history. Those of you who have seen Gladiator or studied Ancient Rome in history lessons may be aware of the basic features and uses of the Colosseum in its days of glory but the amount of information given during the tour intrigued and enlightened me to the full extent of its history.
Getting to the Colosseum could not be easier. It is situated in the centre of Rome quite literally with main roads running meters away from its ancient structure. The Metro station is situated within meters of the entrance with a zebra crossing leading across the road to the cobbled pathway that ran around the Colosseum. However if you do chose to take the metro be careful when traveling to keep any belongings in front of you ...

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. Outside there are 'Romans' dressed up as ancient Romans and they are there to make money from tourists who pay them to have their photograph ...

Advantages: A lifetime of sights to see, excellent transport, amazing ice cream Disadvantages: Very busy
Virgin Mary worthy of Father Ted, to a huge range of serious religious books, and icons. I bought a St. Christopher pendent for just 20p.
After leaving the museum, we were in desparate need of ice cream. Aspying a small stall opposite the exit, packed with nuns, who are a good indicator of quality gelati, we headed over to discover the best ice-cream in Rome. We picked a £1.50 cone and the vendor kept piling on flavours of our choice, until we were wielding huge clubs of the stuff, and it was delicious.
Night time ice cream by the Trevi Fountain: Ice cream featured heavily in my holiday, and generally revolved around this beautiful square after dinner where there are several parlours to chose from. The tiny square is packed at night, but not just by tourists. The Italians eat, drink and sleep late, and everyone seems to congregate ...
