  • Do not eat in the main tourist areas,it will be very expensive,go up a few side streets and you will eat better and cheaper.Shops open from 9-1,then 4-8pm,so remember this.Do go to a street market and remember to wear long trousers and sleeves when going to churches.Taxi's are expensive,just walk or get the bus.HERE IS ST PETERS BASTILICA.
    Here are 3 great web sites on Rome,with good tips and info and pictures.I used them for my trip and they were very helpful.I hope you find them so......'http://www.tulane.edu/lester/Western.Architect/Rome/Rome.html

  • Column of Phocas is 44ft high and the newest of all the forums monuments.It was erected in AD 608 in honour to a Byzantine emperor,Phocas,who had just visited Rome.People believe the colomn was placed here as a thankyou to him as he had just given the Pantheon to the pope.
