Question

2 days in Rome, what are the best sightseeging areas?

Answer 1

Villa Borghese is fabulous

Also, I like the ghetto area and Trastevere - not as touristy and more of the "real Rome" there is a great authentic resturant in that area called Sorella Margherita that has the best Cacio e Pepe in the world - it's a tiny resturant

Go to the NY Times website and google for Rome and travel - they have great tips

St Peters really is a must - but if it's too much go to castello San Angelo near St. Peters

There is this fabulous church San Clemente that goes down three levels right down to when it wa a pagan church

And spend some time around Campo di Fiori with the fabulous market

And of course the Forum - you can spend half a day walking around there - everything is well-explained

We also love the resturant Al Moro near the Trevi Fountain

Answer 2

you need more time! well you would definitely have to visit the Vatican, its musuems and St Peter's Basillica. Plan to go by Wednesday which is the day the Pope normally makes an appearance at the Square. Then there is the Collosuem and a walk around you will find plently of photo-worthy ancient ruins and churchs... amongst which stop by the Spanish Steps, the Trevi fountain, Monument of Vittorio Emanuele, Santa Maria in Trastevere, ... hey there is too much to see. One of the best vacations i ever taken when i went there. and eat Gelato, a lot of it.

Answer 3

You've gotta put more time in visiting Rome. But, for quick visits, I would not miss the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Fontana de Trevi, Vatican City.

Please give yourself some more time. Especially that the time change will cause major jet lags. Ugh. Take time to rest well and adjust if you can. Good luck!

Answer 4

The Vatican is AMAZING, but it takes all day, so plan wisely if you choose to see it. I liked the Colloseum because it's so ancient and amazing. You can walk through it and take pictures. Next to it is the ancient city where you can see the various ruins from Caeser's time.

Also, the Trevi Fountain is amazing and quite essential to any trip to Rome.
