Advantages: Historic

Disadvantages: Not for kids

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. This is definitely not a city for children, and I think that it is more of a adults holiday, but its up to you. There are so many places to go and see, and when we arrived, we were given a travel guide which listed all of the best places to go and see before you left. One place we did go for the day was Vatican City, home of the Pope, and I am not a religious man, but it was an unbelievable experience.

Like I have previously stated, Rome isnt the cheapest place to go, and we booked up with Thomas Cook, and for a package Holiday which included flights and an all inclusive hotel, it cost around £1800 for 7 days. But when you are there, there are plenty of other things to spend your money on. The streets are filled with shops and restaurnates, and you really get the feel of Italy, especially seen as the people are so nice.

Summary: Brilliant city
