VIA VENETO
In my opinion, Via Veneto (also known as Via Vittorio Veneto) is one of the most fascinating and romantic urban streets in the world!
Via Veneto became immortalized in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life). In the 1960 film, Marcello Mastroianni plays a playboy new...

Firstly, the vatican is amazing. So make sure you go.
Secondly, the line for the museum will quite possibly be the longest queue of people you have ever seen in your entire life (it certainly was for me). So get there early, early, early!! Seriously!
It is well worth going to the top of St. Pe...

I agree with Eric's review, although I personally enjoy the Borghese more than the Vatican. While the Vatican Museum is enormous and a little overwhelming, the Borghese is the perfect size. You won't be secretly wishing you were somewhere else halfway through the gallery. And the quality of work is ...

We used Rome Connection as our guide in Rome, and then worked through that company to book similar private tours in Tuscany (Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra) and out of Naples (Sorrento, Pompei, Positano). I would highly recommend this tour company. They were on time, very knowledgeable, had nice ve...

A quiet park on the outskirts of Rome where you can see the ancient aqueducts. There are no tourists here, and if you walk far enough, it will be just you and the aqueducts. I'm not sure which route I took, but I reached one of the entrances into the city that passes through an aqueduct. Eventuall...

Saint Peter's Basilica is one of the most impressive religious buildings in the world. The cathedral is the most important building in all of Christendom and is also probably the most imposing, iconic and lavish. The church is flanked by two colonnades which also encompass much of Saint Peter's Squa...

I agree to go in the afternoon; there was hardly a line when I went. This museum is well worth its entrance fee. There is so much to see.
I would recommend spending some time in the exhibits before the Sistine chapel. I saw many people walking through the exhibits without looking at the pieces jus...

I just got back from the Vatican and Rome, wonderful place. Most of the sites are very doable on the spot (The Colosseum, The Forum, Spanish Steps, etc. The Sistine Chapel, however, its good to plan ahead. Make sure you wear pants and where a shirt that covers your shoulders. I woke up and got t...

This often overlooked site in southern Rome is, in the reviewer's opinion, one of the best in the city. These catacombs, dating back to the 2nd century, are full of ancient wonder and mystery. It is in these very catacombs that many early Christians came to hold services. They did this because th...

After reading (and loving) Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (The Da Vinci code author)we just had to go on the Angels and Demons Tour in Rome. (we missed out on the Da Vinci Code tour in Paris!)
We started in the Piazza Del Popolo in a group of about 20, with an American guide.
She relayed the book ...

Hadrian's Villa is actually located in Tivoli, which is a small town a few miles away from Rome, but it can easily be seen in a short day or half-day trip. This villa was a primary residence for Hadrian, who was emperor of the Roman Empire from 117-138AD. The ruins are in surprisingly good conditi...
