Question

What would you reccomend to visit in Rome?

Answer 1

I have been to Rome and spent 3 days there.

You want to see the old Roman Forum, the Old Roman Pagan Temple the Parthenon (co-opted by the Catholic Church).  The Colosseum is pretty good, but I didn't see much in the catacombs under Rome.  I did take a day trip to Pompeii, the city that was buried in lava by Mount Vesuvius.  The ultimate goal of your trip should be to go to Vatican City (its own nation inside of Rome) and visit the Cathedral of St. Paul.  Even if you are not religious the architecture is on a grand scale that knows no equal.  The Cathedral was built on a scale to deliberately dwarf anyone who comes inside.  The restoration on The Sistine Chapel should be completed by now so I highly recommend it.  Don't forget to check out the Swiss Guard.  Their uniforms and most of St. Paul's was designed by Michelangelo.  Which leads me to seeing the statue The David.

Rome is a very polluted city, you can see the car exhaust melting some of the marble statues of the Old Roman Forum.  So I suggest getting out to the country side occasionally so you can just breathe easier.  Taxi Cabs may be expensive, but unless you have an International License you can't drive yourself.  From the traffic I saw I wouldn't want to drive in Rome, they are like mad men when they get behind the wheel.

Answer 2

the pope.  if he's in town, he gives a public mass on wednesdays inside st. peters.

Answer 3

The Coloseum, The Forum, Trevi fountain..all the regular stuff.

But there is this place in Barberini it's the home of the Cuppucin monks (not sure if i spelt it right). They have collect the bones of all the dead monks and have made art work out of them. Very interesting. You will be shocked but it's worth a look.

Have a great trip!

Answer 7

The Colisseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican Museum, and St. Peters Basilica.  The subway is a very simple way to travel around Rome.  Don't take cabs if you don't have to.   They're very expensive.  Eat gelato (ice cream) at the Trevi Fountain.  Throw a coin into the fountain backwards over your right shoulder.

You will never forget that trip. Do NOT rely on what other people tell you, Rome is huge, Rome is ancient, Rome is modern, Rome is more than 2000 years in one place. Buy a good book and highlight the things that YOU want to see. Because otherwise you will miss the best (for you) and get a wild mixture of things that will start boring you. Focus on your likes / dislikes. Art? Culture? People? Architecture? History? With each single topic you can fill weeks. So good luck to find the best for You!

Answer 10

I am from Rome!

I suggest to visit the most important monuments (S. Pietro, Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Piazza del Campidoglio, Colosseo and Arco di Costantino, Foro Romano), and some hidden and secret wonderful places:

S. Luigi dei Francesi, S. Agostino, S. Maria del Popolo (These churches contain six of the most important Caravaggio's masterpieces)

Piazza di Pietra, S. Maria della Pace, S. Ignazio (a wonderful baroque church), Villa Borghese, Pincio.

And, most of all, VIA DEI CORONARI, CAMPO DE' FIORI (by night) and GIANICOLO!!!!
