So I guess you are going to go to The Square.
by unravelau
Although in Italy nearly 5 months in 1998, I didn't make it to St Peter';s Square and in 2001 I almost missed it again.......How come?
Well on the first occasion that I got to that part of Rome I was overtaken by an urge to visit Castel S Angelo...........which after all is just down the street. Well why didn't I go then......well it was because I spent so much time in the Castle that in order to catch the last bus in Formia, I needed to catch a specific train to connect. I was absolutely dumb founded at the first sight of S Peters and probably didn't do the area photographic justice, but anyway.................
Knights of Malta Keyhole
by melissa_bel
Up on the Aventine hill above the forum, there is a nice walk to do… first visit the church of Sant' Anselmo with its lovely courtyard. Pass the Santa Sabina Church. Soon, you will see a building with a green door. This is the retreat of the Knights of Malta . The door is seldom open but you will surely notice some people peeping through a hole. They are not being too curious or impolite, they are just having one of Rome’s best view of St-Peter’s. I won’t say much about it, you’ll have to discover for yourself but to me, it’s one of Rome’s little treasure.
Gerat later evening spot
by Paisleypaul about Bar Gelateria Il Faraone
The area of Monti and its focal point the Piazza Madonna dei Monti with its fontana is near the Colloseum and National Monument but is refreshingly, not to say surprisingly, local in clientele.
I am aware that for many this is not what they are looking for in a "Nightlife" tip - try Testaccio - but this is a wonderfully understated square, with another two bars on the piazza, central yet quiet. There are pasta and lasagne dishes and a whole lot more for about Eu7, although we stuck to bottled Moretti beer and white Chardonnay. Great for people watching, this was around the corner from our hotel, and if you stay at the Grifo you should pay it a visit. Totally relaxed but stylish anyway - these are Gente di Roma!
RIST. CINESE PANDA
by Willettsworld
If you fancy a break from Italian food then there's an unofficial Chinatown area in Rome just south of the Termini train station in an area called Esquilino in the district between Termini Station and Piazza Vittorio. Not only can you find Chinese restaurants (like this one I found) but also Korean, Vietnamese and Thai.
enjoy trevi fountain safely
by trevifountain2007
The amazing fountain will be crowded almost evey day/night of the year and it will be nice also to spend the year eve night over there. the usual trown of coin is a must once you be in rome and cannot be avoided for any reason..a small coin as a 1 cent coin will make the wish come true anyway..but also is importan to be aware of something in there..
A good advice i care to give is about the trevi fountain.. especially if you are a girl/woman ..there is just a man should be avoided.. read more on the website www.trevifountainperv.com
that's safe now!!
