At some tourist spots, just too many tourists.But who can blame them. Rome has so much beauty!
In a nutshell

Rome defies the nutshell. The energy, the history, the noise, the grime... it pours through every crack and cranny.
631 Reviews When visiting Rome its a must to go to the Colosseum. I can recall many times seeing it on tv and always saying it would be so cool to go and actually be there and touch it. Im somewhat of a history junkie & this is what history is all about so when I was able to actually go and see it with my own...
396 Reviews According to legend a foreigner who tosses a coin into the Fontana Trevi ensures his return to Rome but I didn't do it, was it a mistake or I was just stingy? I will come back to Rome, that's for sure, but it has to be month of May or June. Fontana Trevi is the largest and most spectacular of Rome's...

L'Archetto di Fontana di Trevi
6 Reviews I'd read so many good reviews about L'archetto and all of them were spot on: we had a great meal here!! As others have mentioned, this little gem's pasta specialty is spaghetti. Just spaghetti. With 100+ different sauces to choose from. The menu was in English (yes, I KNOW that's supposed to scream...
4 Reviews This restaurant must be the best place I have eaten in Italy. At first moment I enter, I feel as if I have walked into my family home (I am Hispanic, so we are a bit similar to Italians). I sit and order an antipasti with possible the best freshest ingredients in Rome. I had stuffed meat pasta with...
38 Reviews When it's Friday, it's Muccassasina night at Qube Disco. Definitely a place for those who love diversity. Primary a gay spot but there are a lot of heterosexuals coming to this place. You can choose 3 varieties of music to groove with. First floor has disco music and ideal for fag-hags, generation...
11 Reviews This was one of the best party I ever been while travelling. It was well organized, met bunch of outgoing people, very friendly staff members, nice bars and clubs. This night was total success!! The staff meets the people outsaid Colosseum metrostop. We went there around 9pm and had one hour openbar...
231 Reviews The public transportation system is fairly efficient and connects you to most zones in town. The best way to move around is by bus & metro (this latter having only 2 lines: A & B, although they are currently building Line C which should be ready by 2012); besides, there are metropolitan trains that...
139 Reviews For me , marco1989 is best company for Rome Private Transfer from/to Fiumicino Airport or from/to Civitavecchia. Transportation is furnished by licensed insured professional drivers and vehicles, who are qualified to perform public transportation services all over Europe. They offer a very efficent...
52 Reviews Starting at the Spanish Steps, Via Condotti is the place to go to if you have the cash and are after designer shopping, in particular Italian brands - the street it rather narrow and it's always packed, with shoppers, window-shoppers and locals alike. Brands are: Louis Vuitton, Pucci, Hermes,...
36 Reviews As expected for a tourist city like Rome there are countless of souvenir stores all over the city center with the typical magnets, postcards etc We liked some small magnets with pinocchio At Piazza Navona there was a big Christmas bazaar with many colorful souvenirs (pic 1) but also many street...

Signs, Signals & Superstitions
34 Reviews Cigarette sales in Italy fell by around 50 million packets in 2007 compared to the previous year, a report by independent thinktank Ref said Friday, February 8, 2008. Sales in Italy have fallen since the government enacted a law banning smoking from all enclosed public spaces in 2005. In that year...
Pickpockets and Purse-Snatchers
171 Reviews It didnt happen to me yet however i heard my dad saying on our trip on bus 64 that goes from the vatican to termini that on this bus there are many pickpockets.I also overheard once that the airport of fiumicino, that is where my father works, it s a bit dangerous at night so please dont fall asleep...
95 Reviews Types you'd least expect to rob you blind will in the Rome train station - and the cops now it well, so beware - nobody official cares. There's a con where a seemingly nice young man offers to help you locate your train car. An old man is already sitting in the car when you arrive. There's some...
130 Reviews Regional trains are actually pretty affordable in Italy. If you're planning to make a one-day trip outside of Rome, go to the Trenitalia site and see for yourself! You can go to Florence from 14.31 euros one-way (3.5 hour trip), thru a 17.31 euros one-way rate (2.5 hour trip) up.... reducing your...
87 Reviews One of the best preserved ancient structures in Rome, the Pyramid of Caius Cestius was built in 12 BC as a tomb for Caius Cestius. It was modelled after pyramid tombs in Nubia, which was attacked by Rome in 23 BC, and its construction came at a time when the influence of Ancient Egyptian culture on...
11 Reviews This huge stadium is both home to AS Roma and SS Lazio, and is all seater with a capacity of 82,000. I've been here twice now, once for AS Roma v Man Utd and the for the Champions League Final 2009, FC Barcelona v Man Utd. Unfortunately I haven't seen United win yet. If playing AS Roma then be...
21 Reviews what other sport can be as popular as football in Italy? I've never seen such passionate fans in my life :-) supporters of different teams can be best friends in life, but when it comes to a game... it's impossible to describe. you just have to see it. I was lucky to see fantastic match between Roma...
Tourist & Practical info, Rome pass.
114 Reviews Prebook the Vatican Museum on Friday Evening, Vatican under the stars. There are no queues, not too many visitors and the light is very special. The Sixtine Chappel was not crowded and, as it was at the end of the museum visit, open long after 22.00h. Also buy a Roma Pass on line and pick it up at...
