Tempio Di Pallade, Rome

Advantages: Close proximity of all the fabulous sights.
Disadvantages: Beware pickpockets!

...I visited Rome back in May 2000 and it was fabulous. The hotel I stayed in was the Hotel Gioberti in Via Gioberti, near the train station. It was very conveniently located for the train and buses, and a walkable distance to the attractions - and what fabulous attractions there are! The Trevi Fountain - fabulous. I could have spent hours just sitting looking at it! The Colloseum - amazing - an extremely interesting tour from the guide gave many insights into Roman life. The Portuguese Church - near the Piazza di Novona - fabulous! The best one we saw, only small but just beautiful, and we were the only ones in there so it was our favourite spot. The Pantheon - amazing to think of the age of the place - and that dome! The sights are all amazing. We spent four days there and although we revisted places a couple of times, we were...

Advantages: Make your wish
Disadvantages: No

...If you do love the city of Rome and you wish you go back,the best place to make this wish is at the Fonana di Trevi-remember the song " Three coins in a fountain".

Throwing three coins mean you will get love,luck and be able to return to Rome!!. I threw three down the fountain the last time I was there - really hope this comes true.

The next day we decided to get the bus to Rome and asked the hotel manager for directions this in when we realised how far away we was, we had to catch a bus which was a twenty minute ride to the train station and then had to catch the train into Rome. The only advantage of this was the price it cost about 4 Euros for a ticket which you could use on all transport all day. It was worth the wait because Rome is a beautiful place. The rest of the story is just sight seeing which i you have visited Rome you know how beautiful it is the buldings are amazing, if you havent visited Rome I would recommend you go but make sure when you book it you know your hotel is central because the travelling took...
