As you can see, the distances between these major sites is very small. The city is so beautiful to walk in and there are so many other things to see along the way that you wont even notice that you've walked half a mile. If you plan your routes out ahead of time, you can limit the amount of walking you do.
One of the amazing things about Rome is the amount of history it contains. You can literally walk down the street and see buildings that are hundreds of years old incorporated on the sides of new buildings. There are sections of the old viaduct system still standing in some of the neighborhoods. Everytime I go to Rome I find "new" things to see. I notice more "hidden" history that is right in front of everyone. I take my time now to enjoy the wonderful sights that have been preserved for us. I just walk. I usually don't worry about the distance. Leave a Comment

If you want to avoid lines and are planning to see quite a few archeological sites in Rome within a week, the Archaeologia Card is a good buy.
It includes these sites:
Colosseo, Palatino and Palatino museum, National Roman Museum (Palazzo Altemps, Palazzo Massimo, Crypta Balbi, Terme Diocleziano), Terme di Caracalla, Cecilia Metella, Villa Dei Quintili.
The card costs € 23,50 for all 9 sites, valid for a week, and you can buy it at the National Museum near Roma Termini (probably at other locations too).
More info and addresses here
Note: Discount for EU citizens between 18-25 yrs and teachers: € 13,50.
EU citizens under 18 and over 65 the card is free.
Combine this card with the CIS transportation card, also valid for 7 days (€ 16) and you are all set to discover Rome. Leave a Comment

In Rome I was struck by three things: firstly I always felt as if I got into the school history textbook, secondly the quantity of Egyptian Columns in Rome is surprisingly high - 13; thirdly - the architectural beauty of Roman fountains - Trevi in baroque (see the picture), the Fountain of Four Rivers in Piazza Navona. Each statue on latter fountain embodies one of the greatest rivers - the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges and the Rio-de-la Plato. Leave a Comment

The Trevi fountain with Mariangela was great. My friends and I started a tradition to sit and drink a bottle of wine in the evening on the fountain steps. This is great, as there are hundreds of people sitting around enjoying the atmosphere. Throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, and you will return again.
With Mariangela, we paid a guy to borrow his bouquet of flowers he was selling, and took a picture of us with the flowers. This was really funny, and unforgettable. We also drank the traditional bottle of vino on the steps.
In the picture you can see the Castel Sant Angelo, and the bridge. The Bridge was an execution spot, and the castle was used as a fortress and escape location for the Pope. There are tunnels underground going from the Vatican to the Castle. You can also see St. Peter's Basilica in the distance. Leave a Comment

This picture is one view of the Forum, and in the distance is the Palatine, which you have to pay to get in to, but it gives you an excellent view of the city, especially around Sunset... Leave a Comment

These baths, completed in the 3rd century, were named after the emperor Caracalla. During it's heyday it covered 27 acres and could handle 1,600 bathers at a time. This is an amazing sight to see, and is not to be missed.

This park situated between Via Appia Nuova and Via Tuscolana, is an excellent place to take a break from the city. The park is surrounded by the remains of three aqueducts: the Marcius aqueduct dating back to 140 B.C.; the Claudius aqueduct from 52 A.D.; and the Felice aqueduct from 1500 A.D. You can take a relaxing stroll and admire the amazing structures.
