General Tips by buckaroo2
If you stay at the FONTANA hotel you can walk to almost everything, and that is the way to see Rome. If you walk you will find all the interesting little shops that you would miss if you took transportation. I did take a tour bus to the Vatican because it was a bit of a walk, but with the tour but on Wednesday the pope did the mass and you go past the line and go right in. The people at the end of the line usually don?t get in.As for eating, it is expensive. I suggest taking a small back pack for all the places you go, but also to stop at a grocery store and get you drink and dessert or fruit, then order the main course and after that is served you have the rest of your meal with you, VERY much cheaper at least half of what it would cost buying it all at the restaurant. If you are staying at the Fontana there is a grocery store right next door.
