What do you expect from a Metro in Rome? Actually I didn’t have any wild expectations unless than it probably wouldn’t work perfectly. Well arriving a day where there is a strike did only confirm my expectations.
Today there are 2 Metro lines running in Rome but some construction work in diff…

Rome has 13 of the ancient Egyptian obelisks, the most outside of Egypt! Obelisks were symbols of immortality for the pharoahs. Taken back to Rome as war bounties long ago (most of them). They are found in some of the most beautiful piazzas in Rome, but some are not as easy to spot unless you are…

Got there around 10 went to my hostel, which was closed for me till 4pm, so I walked around with all my stuff (luckily only a small weekend bag) for the day. Started out by going to the colosse…

ARRIVEDERCI ROMA
This song, more than any other, brings back happy memories of my Italian travels in the summer of 2005.

For Dean's classic version and a great slideshow of Rome, p…

Eric says:
Pickpocketing is a really big problem in Rome, and the thieves are
often pretty sophisticated. They dress up like normal tourists or
businessmen and sometimes rely on misdirection. For instance, my
roommate told me a story about how he was riding on the Metro, and
someone grabbed a lady's purse …

This is just a general suggestion of how to see Rome. Stay in the quiet part of town near the Vatican City. Everywhere is busy but the Vatican is very busy all year round so avoid it like the plague at festive periods! Alway start very early in the morning for big attractions or alternatively wait u…

I personally feel that tours are not really need in Rome. The public transportation is pretty decent, and the city itself is not so large that you cannot walk across a good part of it.Most of the ancient Roman sites are located in a fairly small area, known as the Roman Forum.

If anyone is interested in studying abroad, I'd definitely recommend Italy. I studied abroad in Rome for 4 months and had a great time. The people can be a little rude, but you can't beat the history that Rome offers. I went abroad through the University of California Education Abroad Program (UC EA…

•Some nice inexpensive restaurants are located on Via Serpenti, Via Boschetto and Via Palermo.
•Make sure your hairdryer is compatible with the European outlets. Not only do you need outlet adapters but your appliances have to be compatible. Otherwise you are stuck using the hotel provided ha…

This place takes pinhole photography to a whole new level!
The keyhole of the gate of the gardens of I Cavilieri di Malta on Avantine hill is designed in such a way, that when you look through it you see a perfectly framed picture of St Peter's in the distance.
The presence of armed guards an…

I would like to add to Eric's review that, unless you really have no interest in getting anywhere in a timely fashion, definitely avoid the "Regionale" rail lines. These are like the IC trains in that they stop frequently, except that Regionale stop EVEN MORE frequently. They never really seem to ge…
