This will probably be a long review but there is just so much to say about the lovely Rome. I went there for five days at the end of last June & I fell in love with the place. There is so much to see and do whilst you are there day & night, it is a great place. This really is a great European city to visit. I stayed in a hotel which was a 10 - 15 minute walk from the Termini (Rome's biggest rail station). I cannot remember for the life of me the name of my hotel but it was not that grand and I wouldn't stay there again. --- The Termini --- This is a really huge building it is really long and quite wide. The train station has ...  Read the complete review

I went there with my girlfriend October last year and I have to say went along with no expectations and absolutely fell in love with the place. first thing to say is the 'eternal city' must be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. what surprises you is its relatively small size. this is a huge bonus as you can pretty much walk anywhere. this is the best way to explore as Rome's cobbled streets and full of character, with the stunning architecture there's something to discover on every corner. the public transport system is very simple and very easy to use you can buy a ticket on a bus of a shop or the station and then you stamp it at the metro or on the bus ...  Read the complete review

However on the first afternoon we arrived we stepped dropped our bags off and went exploring. We were hungry and were beckoned in by a guy who owned a liitle sandwich type place. We ordered some food and a drink each and it came too 23 Euros. We paid but we had thoughts of trying to get some ...  Read the complete review

Rome was much how I expected it to be, a lively mixture of ancient capital and a modern metropolis, with all the related tourist oppertunities. I shant go into massive detail as plenty of other people have! So I shall try to cover things that peple havent. If youre expecting a fairytale city be warned, Rome IS Italy's biggest metropolis and has all the problems of a big city - crime, graffiti, rubbish and indeed plenty of protests which we witnessed several of. Travelling on the metro-system at night can be daunting, as can venturing into the suburbs. People wanting to see impressive sites wont be disappointed though, and we got to see all the main ...  Read the complete review
