What are some interesting things to do in Rome?

Question

I wouldn't mind seeing a few museums, but I will only be there for a few days in June, so I don't want to spend my whole trip in museums. What are the best museums, and what else is there to do that I shouldn't miss. I also need hotel and restaurant suggestions.

Answer 1

It is Rome! Just look around...trust me, you won't get bored. I went last summer and it is really easy to find things to do. It would take months to explore the entire city.

Answer 2

get a hooker

Answer 3

Vatican City is close by with St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Roman Ruins, many many restaurants and shops

Answer 4

I'm gonna be in Rome for a few days this July, so I'm in a similar situation. I bought the Eyewitness Guide Top 10 Rome which was only a couple of bucks and has a lot of information. As for hotel suggestions, I looked on hostelworld.com and venere.com and found some good possibilities, it depends on how much you're willing to spend. Venere.com is nice because it shows you the location the hotel is in, and it has user ratings and comments which are really helpful in choosing a place to stay. I've heard that the most beautiful places to visit are the ruins, the Colosseum, and the Vatican, and I know that all three of those are on my list of places to see.

Answer 5

When in Rome, do as the Romans.

Answer 6

I suggest to you to visit the small "private gallery" museums, like Museo di Palazzo Altemps, Galleria Borghese, Galleria Doria Pamphilij, Galleria Spada. If you like Caravaggio there are 3 churches in Rome that contains 6 of the most important masterpieces of Caravaggio (S. Luigi dei Francesi, S. Agostino and S. Maria del Popolo).

Don't forget Musei Capitolini and Musei Vaticani, but they are very big musems (about one day for Vaticani, about 3-4 hours for Capitolini).

Don't miss:

S. Pietro

Colosseo and Arco di Costantino

Foro Romano, Fori Imperiali and Palatino

Piazza del Campidoglio

Piazza Navona

Piazza di Spagna

Fontana di Trevi

S. Ignazio

S. Ivo alla Sapienza

Via dei Coronari

Campo de' Fiori

S. Maria in Trastevere
