Should I go to Rome or Venice?

Question

Should I go to Rome or Venice?

Answer 1

Haven is correct about Venice.  I have traveled many times all over Italy, my favorite European country.  If first time, Rome is where you want to go.  In downtown is a hotel I stay, Hotel Alpi, and is within walking distance of all sights.  Vatican City is a MUST see as well.

Florence is only a short train ride.

Answer 2

why not just spend some time in both

Answer 3

I suggest you Rome

I'm italian and I've seen both the city.

Venice is non bad but I aspected something more

Otherwise Rome is fantastic,. there are many things to visit, is alive, there are beuutiful places everywehere and it is much more cheap than venice!

Have a good travel

Answer 4

You should see both.  Each is important for different reasons.

Answer 5

BOTH!! they are totally different...

if you enjoy larger, more urban places, with tons of clubs and restaurants (not to mention some pretty impressive historical sights/museums) then rome is for you!

however, if you enjoy romantic, relaxing, and more classical places, then venice is a perfect choice.

Rome is more fast paced, so if your looking for more relaxation choose Venice...

BUT in my opinion, you should go to both because they are only a few hours away from each other!!

have fun eating spaghetti :)

Answer 6

Better visit Rome

Answer 7

You can do both honestly.  Venice is a really small city.  You won't get to see every ally in Venice, but you will get a good idea.  Stay in Rome and take a train to Venice early one morning.  Make sure you take the Eurostar, it's a lot quicker.  If I were you though, I would stay in Florence.  I found Rome a lot of NYC in the 80's with really old buildings.

Answer 8

the ideal is to visit rome&venice but you want a preference:

visit rome for the fantastic monuments and for the roman's objest for the colosseo. and because all street take to ROMA...

Answer 9

Rome. If youy have extra time and money, got to Venecia for an overnight trip... no more time needed.

Answer 10

both

Answer 11

I prefer my favorite place..Visit Rome

Answer 12

Go to Rome. Venice can smell bad, and its a pain to travel around because there is water everywhere. Plus, when you're taking a romantic ride on a gondola, you can see giant rats jump off the ground into the water. Kinda kills the mood.
