Hi guy, me again :-)
I am leaving for Rome wednesday, we decided to go only with hand laguage, not to lose time waiting at the airport, please advise what exactly to pack for Thursday Friday Saturday, please inform me what eactly the local forecast is, you know local newspaper, tv, because on internet it is confusing, says it will be rainy and covered ,but gives a picture of sun and clouds, then 18-19c , which is actually warm for the time of the year.
Local guys, please advise
Dear Snej,
It is always difficult to tell how EXACTLY the weather will be. Currently, during the day, temperature are between 15-18C degrees, nights is cooler and can go down to 10C.
Scattered showers are expected in the next days. In Rome rarely rains non-stop. It might rain for an hour or so and then stops.
Here the Italian site : www.meteo.it
For a 4-day stay, I would suggest you pack:
- GOOD COMFORTABLE SHOES
- 2x trousers
- 2x T-shirts
- 1 or 2 Sweaters
and if you a light jacket.
If you have a small umbrella, I'd suggest you pack this too... but it's not really important... As soon as it starts raining in Rome, you will have around you lots of umbrella sellers. You can bargain and get one for couple of euros.
In the city centre, you will find lots of small stands that sell cloths for few euros, so in case you haven't packed an item, you can buy it here for few Euros. You mentioned once you will be staying around Santa Maria Maggiore, all around the neighbourhood you will find small stands (and lots and lots of shops).
Pack necessary items (shoes, sweater, light jacket to carry on). Rest you can find it in Rome.
If you need assistance during your stay, just post a note and a VT member will help you.

I am so sensitive on rain topic, i hate it, here in Belgium we have a lot of grey skies,so i expect to see sun and if not 100% clear skies at least not grey colour the while time, so anytime i tavel round the world i prey for sun:-)))
Thanks for your advise and have a nice day!

Just take it easy... we have no control on weather. I know VERY well what it means to live in a rainy and grey country!
Take it as it comes. Rome is a beautiful city. Lots to admire, and many things to do.
Right now it is cold - everyone out & about is wearing a heavy jacket. Wear good walking boots if you have them. A small compace umbrella is good. A good scarf, sweater.
Walk through the brilliant Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapelle. I personally loved the fresco's, ceilings, and tapidstries in the museum. Here's a picture of a fresco on a ceiling, it's called the victory of christianity over peganism.
A big bag because you will back home with new cloth, souvenirs, books, paints, etc................ Good shoes if is possible trainers, very confortable clothe to be walking all whole day. Pills if you are suffering for headache or medicine for general illness. First thing on your hand luggage a camera, and if it is a digital one, get all many cards believe me you will not stop taking photos.
It's a small but famous bar. It's ice cream can really change your life. Absolutely the best ice cream you can ever eat. It won't give you a wide range of flavours options, but you can be sure that those ones they have, oh brother, they will make you think that life is wonderful. My favourite flavour is lemmon cream, but I have to admit that the best they do is dark chocolate. Don't eat them together because lemmon cream's taste is very delicate and it would disappear with that strong flavour of chocolate. Juste eat two ice creams! From € 1,30 on.
There is a METRO in ROME and it has grown to be quite extensive, but this is one city I am reluctant to use the metro becuase you see so much via surface transportion. Its a tossup...the time you save using the Metro will give you extra time to do extra things...like see more places!
I went to this place with a large group (around 20 people) that I had trouble accommodating on a Monday, a day when restaurants are traditionally closed.
The owner answered the phone directly and very politely thanked me for the reservation. Not bad a start!
On arrival we were kept waiting a bit (full on a Monday evening! that's a good sign) but then offered a drink as a compensation, so we were happy. The fried starters were good and light, as was their pasta alla carbonara (a well-done classic). The way the mixed roasted meat was presented was slightly under expectation, but then again perhaps I'm too demanding. The taste was nice.
As a drink we ordered the house wine, but it wasn't too good, so we diverted into bottled red from Sicily. The list is small but well thought and adequate to the general level of the place.
The service can be a bit too informal, especially when it's full, but is timely and efficient. The bill was extremely honest, almost at pre-euro levels.
Book in advance, especially if there's more than two of you and if you go at weekends.
This place has opened two other venues. I visited one of them in May 2006 and created another tip for it. The fried starters were one step above everything else. Well done!
