Favorite thing: The best way to discover the many hidden treasures of Rome is to walk, walk and walk. It will even help if you get lost as you will come across many unexpected piazzas, fountains and other things which will forever remain in your memory.
Fondest memory: My first visit in 1988 when we were travelling by coach from the airport to Rome and suddenly went past the Colisseum. The site of it so close that I could almost touch it was truly awesome.

Fondest memory: Don't expect to see all that you have seen in 'Gladiator' movie - but its walls are real and damn they're old! I cannot imagine what did these walls see. The bloom and the collapse of Roman Empire, early Christians, barbarians, medieval knights... During the medieval centuries this magnificent building was a bit destroyed by people who lived around - they used stones form Colloseum for building they own houses. But well, it stands still!
You can even notice some 'gladiators' in front of it, always waiting for tourists to take picture and have paid for that. Well, Mr. Crowe in Maximus's role looks more natural (or just closer to our stereotype???), but these guys are also ok, if you want to show your friends something special on your pictures.
