Definately go to The Sistine...
by Mr_Edd_20
Definately go to The Sistine Chapel...it is soo beautiful, but be prepared to have to sneak pics of Michelangelo's Works in there.
The Coloseum, the Roman Forum, Spanish Steps, and make sure you check out the St. Maria Cappuccini Concezione's Crypt, it is very freaky. I am enclosing a picture I found on the net, because they don't allow you to take pictures in there. Those bones are made into 'artwork' from the bones of over 4,000 monks....crazy stuff Me, my girlfriend, and my best friend are eating outdoors in this restaurant with a view of the Coloseum. There were all these birds perched on top if the patio, and yep.......you guessed it. The bird crapped all on her jacket, and all I could do was lauhg hysterically at her. I even brought it up to the our waiter's attention, hoping he would reimburse our outragous tab, but he just laughed it off. She was soo mad at me. So the next day we are walking alot, then we make it to Trevi's Fountain, where we take a seat on the sidewalk and I was looking across at the fountain and I feel something hit the top of my head and hear a 'SPLAT' on the pavement. Sweet irony huh? :) The bad part is that she laughed her ass off at me and took many pictures of the green goo on my head!
VIA APPIA ANTICA is a over...
by princesss
VIA APPIA ANTICA is a over 2000 year old road built from Rome to South-Eastern Brindisi. You can walk for several kilometers on this road and see monuments, tombs, churches etc. No place in Rome without tourists but the best time is to go during the week. Take a bus from San Giovanni in Laterano. (at least, that's what we did 3 years ago, please inform before you go).
Evening stroll
by Sharrie
There are many people relaxing the evening around the Fountain of the Moor in front of the PALAZZO PAMPHILI & the Fountain of Neptune at the northern end of the square. Enjoy the breeze & the ambience after dinner & unwinding oneself from the reality of life...
Stay away from Sabatini's in Trastavere
by MomRocco about Sabatini's
This restaurant was highly recommended to us, but was a huge disappointment. We arrived in time for our reservation and were seated promptly. The staff seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of us (maybe to make the table available for their regulars) and so all our courses arrived at once. There were several errors on our check, which the surly waiter did not want to correct. The setting is lovely, but the food is only so-so. The food was very mediocre. I would suggest that Frommers take it off their list.
An incredible experience
by anaglenny
I am not a religious person, but visiting the Vatican and seeing the Pope is one of the most powerful and intense experiences I have had in my whole life.
People from all over the world congregate at St. Peter's Square on Sunday to wait for the Papal blessing at noon. The atmosphere is just so incredible, it brought tears to my eyes!
Even if you are not catholic, this is something that you don't want to miss!
