Re: Who has been to Rome, Italy?
I've been to Rome. Everyone who has posted so far has given you the top spots to visit. Don't forget the Spanish Steps, too. Right on about the pick pockets, too. If you take one of the horse drawn carriage rides through the city, keep EVERYTHING between you and the other person ..never on the seat next to your hip or by your feet... pickpockets run alongside and will grab anything within reach. My best suggestion, if you are on a short visit, is to book one of the Grayline sighteeing tours .. they will take you to the important tourist stops. Be sure you know that on their brochure that only the highlighted spots are actual stops where you can get off and walk around. Non-highlighted means the bus comes to a slow roll for photo ops only. Everything closes down in the city mid afternoon for a sort of siesta. The city is packed with history... old mixed in with the new. Enjoy every minute!
