Wear comfortable shoes and lose yourself in the narrow streets of the city center. You will find countless places to visit, you will take a lot of picture and will find lot of restaurants and trattorie

The historic centre of Rome is simply incredible, with ancient history round every corner. Lots of the sites are within easy walking distance of each other.

The historic part of Rome is a must-see region, where it is fascinating walking from one attraction to another watching the amazing architecture, amazingly made pieces of art everywhere, picturesque platforms, and historic sites of the Roman empire.

The historic centre of Rome is worth a walk around. Rick Steves' audio tour really brings it to life and adds some structure to a wander around the area. You can download this app for no cost (I became quite a fan during the course of my trip to Italy!)..

It’s always amazing visiting Rome and if you also enjoy the heat, August is a good month to visi. But for the best light and cooler weather October in Rome is wonderful!

The cobbled and intriguing side streets; wide array of restaurants, gelateria and bars; historic landmarks and plazas; a vibrant city with different districts separated by a long winding river: Rome was one of my favourite recent trips and allowed me to see so many memorable attractions like the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and permitted a venture into Vatican City. For me, the history of every landmark exudes throughout the city. I would strong encourage Palazzo Navaro and Pantheon as places to visit given the areas are quite enchanting.

Centro Storico is the historic center of Rome. Lots of cobblestone streets and history everywhere you turn. Cafe's, trattorias, fancy bars and stores, and lots of tourists roaming around. Going out at night is lots of fun.

Hi, we are a group of friends planning to visit Rome for 3 days with a 16seater minibus. We heard that there is an entrance fee to drive into Rome. We wanted to avoid this by booking a hotel outside of this charging zone. I am looking for a map of the charging zone. Can anyone help please? Thanks!!

We were in Rome in May, 2019, and I had not heard of any entrance fee to visit. There are zones where you are not allowed to drive (ZTL), but there is no fee you can pay to enter those areas.

The location shown here is incorrect. I'm wrong? What is the correct location? Is not that the whole area of Piazza Navona, the Roman Forum, the Coliseum ...?

é minha primeira vez em Roma
vou fazer o tradicional: Coliseu, Forum, Vaticano...
tenho dois dias e meio, devo fazer Coliseu e Vaticano no mesmo dia e depois ir para Tivoli (Villa D este é Villa Adriana), ou devo aproveitar Roma e ver as outras coisas que a cidade pode oferecer (termas de Caracalla, mercado de Trajano..) ?????

Um dia inteiro você tira pra conhecer o Coliseu e o Foro Romano, ambos valem muito a pena entrar, e requer um pouco de esforço físico pois anda muito e é um sobe e desce a todo momento! No seu outro dia vá a Fonatana de Trevi, a praça Veneza, ao Panteon e ao templo de Adriano, ambos dá pra caminhando, ficam um perto do outro! E seu terceiro dia que vc tem metade do dia, vá ao Vaticano, de preferência em uma quarta ou domingo que vai conseguir ver o Papa! Boa viagem, divirta se! Bjs 😘

hola a todos! Donde puedo hallar a un guía experto en historia y arqueología en Roma que hable español? No me interesan los tours a medida de las agencias? Pero tampoco me fío de cualquiera. Muchas gracias.

Hola. En la zona del Coliseo hay mucha gente ofreciendose de guía, unos por su cuenta y otros a través de agencias. En mi caso conocimos a una guía que aparte de trabajar para una agencia, hace tours ella y es una maravilla explicando las cosas y se ve que es una experta en historia. Ella es italiana pero habla perfectamente el español. Se llama Mariana. Cuando estés en esa zona y se te ofrezcan para ir de guía, pregunta por la guía Mariana y si la localizas habla con ella. No te defraudará. Yo quedé muy contento. Un saludo.

Ciao, vorrei dedicare un giorno del mio soggiorno a Roma alla visita delle Terme di Caracalla, di parte della Via Appia Antica (fino al Circo di Massenzio possibilmente), delle fosse Ardeatine e del parco degli Acquedotti.. mi consigliate un itinerario che mi permetta di vedere tutto (o quasi tutto) muovendomi con i mezzi pubblici?

Basta che tu segua la linea della metro, il parco degli acquedotti è sulla metro A, caracalla ci si arriva facilmente con la B da circo massimo o da San Giovanni che invece è sulla linea A. L'Appia antica ha soltanto due autobus che la servono e non sono proprio frequenti, il circo di Massenzio però non vale il tempo perso per arrivarci, a meno che non hai interessi nel III-IV secolo. Per le fosse ardeatine il 218 sempre da san Giovanni.

Sarò a Roma nel ponte dell immacolata ho solo 3 giorni a disposizione per visitare Roma. Vorrei vedere il Colosseo, piazza di Spagna, fontana di trevi ,piazza Navona,San Pietro, Musei vaticani,villa borghese come posso organizzarmi?

Sono d'accordo con chi mi ha preceduto, soprattutto con Riccardo: lascia il Colosseo per ultimo e piuttosto visita i Fori. Considera le condizioni metereologiche e in caso di pioggia vai ai Musei Vaticani (vale la visita di un giorno sano) e al Museo Borghese dentro villa Borghese. Prenota i biglietti on line per evitare le file. A piedi da Fontana di Trevi, attraversa via del tritone e sei in zona Piazza di Spagna. Sali a Trinità dei Monti e goditi il panorama. Poi scendi la scalinata, vai per via Condotti fino a via del Corso, a destra Piazza del Popolo e a Sinistra Piazza Colonna. Entra nella Piazza e andando sempre dritta arrivi al Pantheon che vale una visita. Continua dritta e sei a Piazza Navona e li puoi scegliere un ristorantino e goderti la vita della piazza piena di artisti di strada. Da li Castel Sant'Angelo e San Pietro sono vicinissimi. Buona vacanza romana!!!

Is there a shopping district in Rome? I was in Rome a couple of years ago and saw all the ancient ruins, the Vatican etc.

There are areas for high end shopping (I'm not a big traveling shopper however... I saw them while walking around) Nice boutiques around the Spanish Steps and Trevi fountain.
