The city's glorious and often decadent past has shaped modern day Rome with it's magnificent architecture, outstanding cuisine and dolce vita. The hard part of a trip to Rome is fitting it all ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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. ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

We had the most romantic three days of our lives in Rome and cannot wait to go back! I cannot urge you enough that you must go and visit if you ever get the chance! You walk through the old Italian cobbled streets and then suddenly to your left or right there stands a magnificant ancient artifact, it is really bizarre, but wonderful at ...  Read the complete review

Like so many other reviewers Rome certainly rates as my favourite city destination in the world. I only visited for 4 days during a hot August, but can only say I never thought it was possible to "fall in love with a city" but Rome proved me wrong. Around every corner is some spectacular site, and the whole city just oozes ...  Read the complete review

Having wanted to visit Italy for a number of years, I finally took the plunge in June as part of a three-centre trip (to Rome, Venice & Florence). I can honestly say that Rome is now firmly in my top two or three destinations in the world - I simply cannot explain how wonderful this city is. On arrival in the city there is an ...  Read the complete review

Last year on my birthday my husband went and booked a 6 day trip to Rome. I can't say that I had always wanted to visit the city - well it wasn't on my list of top ten destinations. I think I thought it was going to be hectic, noisy and hot! In fact I think I was a bit disappointed when he showed me the booking. I thought I was going somewhere a ...  Read the complete review

Is Rome the most beautiful city in Europe? Well I haven't visited them all but if there a more beautiful city then I would wish to book to go there now. Rome is built on an number of hills and at various points in the city you can take panoramic looks at other parts. There is such a visual feast of places to visit and photograph I would ...  Read the complete review

My girlfriend and I visited Rome in November 2006 and I would highly recommend it. We went for 5 days and I have to admit it was enough, we got to see so much in those 5 days, the sun was shining the sights amazing and the company suberb. We saw so much, my one gripe would be that everything was too tourist orientated. You were hurded into each ...  Read the complete review

Rome is a wonderful city to visit and there is so much history, culture and great places to eat that it makes an ideal location for a weekend break or even a weeks stay as there is so much to see. There is plenty of accomodaion available to suit all budgets although being a capital city it is quite expensive however we found a centrally ...  Read the complete review

Rome is one of the best cities that I have visited and after a four day stay last Spring I really felt like I had only managed to scratch the surface of this great city. It is a pretty easy city to get around and it has a good public transport system although it does take a bit of planning however if you plan your itinerary well a lot ...  Read the complete review

The Prologue =========== I am a lover of all things ancient (although not ancient myself, honest). Show me some ruins and I'm as happy as Larry. So when looking for a place to go on my Hols where better than the heart of Ancient civilization and imperial colonisation, Rome. Here's my highlights. The ...  Read the complete review

You don’t so much come home from Rome, as survive to tell the tale, at least that’s how I feel. That’s not to say the spending five days there was unpleasant, but on balance I’m not making any immediate plans to go back. It soon becomes plain that this is a city of contrasting ‘ations’; that’s exhilaration, consternation, fascination ...  Read the complete review

Rome had been on my "must visit" list for far too long and so since booking an autumnal 4-day break some months ago, I had been counting down the days. As the saying goes "Rome wasn't built in a day" and I planned to pace myself. I had a priority list of places to see followed by a bonus list if I had time and energy left. I ...  Read the complete review

A short summary This trip report will focus on the trip that my wife Nikki and I took to Rome in the period from July 2nd - 7th 2005. We targeted out places that we wanted to see during our trip. On our list was the usual stuff such as the Vatican, Pantheon, Piazza di Spagna, Colosseum, Forum, Capitol etc. With all of this on the list there ...  Read the complete review

Well, I'm back (Both on Dooyoo and jolly old Blighty, and I've realised its been a whole year since I last posted on here, did ya miss me?!)), from my Christmas present of a trip to Rome and boy do my feet hurt. But it was rather wonderful! I've decided not to do just a list of all the attractions like the Vatican, etc, but be a ...  Read the complete review

Last year I decided that as the fruits of my loins would be 10 and 12 respectively they were ready for a holiday with a difference. Rather than the usual short break spent at Butlins or Euro Disney it was time that they were exposed to a bit of culture with a city break somewhere in Europe and where better than probably the best open air museum in ...  Read the complete review

During March of this year, I had the pleasure of spending my 5th wedding anniversary in Rome. It is somewhere that I had wanted to visit for quite some time so when my husband announced that he had booked us four nights in ?The Eternal City?, I was over the moon. ~ The Journey ~ ...  Read the complete review
