The Vatican
Review of Vatican by
medgenie
Advantages: Must-go for catholics
Disadvantages: No
As a Catholic, going to Vatican is like going to Mecca for Muslims or the Ganges for the Hindus. It's been my dream since my baptism. The Vatican's 44 hectares of land make it the smallest state in the world but the biggest tourist attraction. It is an i ...

A friendly staffed hotel
Review of Relais Vaticano, Rome by
funky_frankie888
Advantages: Clean, comfortable, helpful staff
Disadvantages: None!
Our experience of this hotel was a very good one. We are a family of 4 so we stayed in a quad room (with 2 double beds) for 3 nights.
DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE FRONTAGE OF THIS HOTEL! It appears to be very small and tacky but the interior of the hotel ...

There we were, Mrs p and my god self, striding boldy past Rome's many antiquities on our way to the Greatest Show on Earth. Slabbering with anticipation, we could hardly hold our collective water at the thought of the delights in store...heffelumps, gyraf ...

Review of Rome in general by
eviltass
Advantages: full of life, showing feelings, traffic
Disadvantages: Hostel in rome, two short
The first thing I noticed and got touched by was the traffic. Everyone was honking their horns and going zigzag.
To compare the traffic with Sweden it was awful and noisy, but the most important of all: energetic and full of life. I was trying to film i ...

Three cons and a fountain
Review of Trevi Fountain 25, Rome by
proxam
Advantages: A must see in Rome
Disadvantages: It's only a fountain
Ah, the Trevi Fountain. Some would say that it's the most beautiful fountain in all of Rome. Well, I wouldn't know about that - not having visited all 7,000 of them. Ok, that's maybe an exagerration, but there are quite a few of the old fontanas dotted ar ...

SUMMIT? JUST THE OPPOSITE!
Review of Summit Roma Hotel, Rome by
comdaily
Advantages: continental breakfast; outdoors swimming pool
Disadvantages: THE ENTIRE HOTEL BADLY NEEDS RESTORATION, REFURBISHING & SANITATION!
I stayed at Summit from 14th to 16th May 2008. Location is TRAGIC. It is not in Rome, franklly speaking, it is hardly in Rome. Rather in some village. It takes 3 (THREE) hours to walk from Colosseum (and other places of interest) to Summit. Going by bus w ...

Quick review of Via Appia Antica
Review of Via Appia Antica by
artgirl2
We visited the Via Appia Antica in the summer of 2007, while touring the Roman Catacombs and the church of Domine Quo Vadis. The area has over 2,000 years of history, and we couldn't believe how few tourists there were to visit this hidden jewel in Rome. Our guide Valentina said that only about one in twenty tourists to Rome makes it out to the Appia Antica during their stay in Rome. Such a pity. We can't recommend it highly enough, especially if you are fortunate enough to have a guided tour. We used When in Rome Tours and were very pleased. They have a website at http://www.wheninrometours.com.
