  • 5. Roman Forums

    The Roma Pass is a good idea because it includes transportation too. I used it to see the Colosseum + Foro Romano, the Museum of Modern Art (not worth it) and I don't remember what else right now. I...   more

    In my four days stay, I never visited Piazza Venezia in the morning hours, funny but truth. The white marble of the monument must be in particularly attractive under the bright sunny day light. Well,...   more
  • 13. Christian Rome

    Even if you aren't a religious person (like myself), the Basilicas in Rome are a true architecture gem and can be at least marveled as fantastic works of art. The biggest one (in the world as well) is...   more
  • 14. Piazza Navona

    If you visit Rome then dont forget to see this street. We had a great time here. Only because of time constraint we had to leave the place :-( The fountain, noise of the gushing water, a lady with...   more
  • 15. Architecture & Landscape

    When born like me in a country where the bell-towers of the cathedrals touch the rain clouds one can not avoid being surprised that Rome with "thousand and one" churches has very few bell-towers! The...   more

    To visit the Interior of Hadrians Mausoleum you first go down a slope to the lower levels and then gradually climb up the levels whilst circling around various courtyards. In the courtyards too there...   more

    I just love to admire this fascinating place. It's impressive once you enter and see the day light coming from a central hole on the roof. I would recommend you to sit in one of the bar's terraces of...   more
