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

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

I know that I said that Paris was one of the romantic cities in the world, but for last Valenties Day, I took my wife to Rome, and we absolutely loved it, and she didnt want to leave. In is a historic city, and when you walk through the city, you know you are walking through thousands of years of history, most of which has shaped the way we live today. When you walk through the likes of London, you will find statues at various places, but when you go through Rome, you will find a statue of someone, most probably a Roman on almost every street corner. This really is the place to go. I had wanted to go for a long time, and it isnt the cheapest place to visit. ...  Read the complete review
