I must admit I visited Rome in 2000 cause I wanted to take a long vacation away from home (in Europe) and I had several friends to visit there, not because the town attracted me by itself. The first time I visited Rome I was 11 years old and didn't like it that much. But I must tell you that I fell in love with it during my visit in 2000 and I didn't think I'd go back soon, but I had the wonderful chance of spending a couple of days there in July 2007, yay!! It's a city I definitely recommend for everyone to visit and enjoy!!
Rome became a clean and better organized city after the Jubilee celebrations in 2000, and it's a delight to visit it although it can also be a quite chaotic city. I hope that the tips I could collect during the month I lived there and this most recent short visit will be helpful for someone. Enjoy your trip! And know that I ENVY YOU all guys who will be able to go there soon! :)
NOTE: Special thanks to all my friends who hosted me in Rome in 2000: Roxy and family (Sheila too!), Aurora, Laura and parents (Russi family), Simone and Malizia family, because all of them showed me MOST of the things you will see published on this page. Thanks to my dear Finnish friend Kalle as well for contributing with many of the pictures you will see on this page, starting with the one above!
**NEW** ---- I'm adding some new pictures and comments to this site.... please come back!
- In a nutshell:History, culture, warmth, sun, ice cream, traffic chaos.... a bit of everything!!

Excellent and very timely tips on Rome! Muy bueno paginas! I enjoyed the ones on transportation and things to do especially. Thanks!
that is a gorgeous photo of the bridges over the tevere
I ended up at the changing of the guard entirely by accident. It was great!
Thanx, Laura, for nice virtual tour of eternal Roma. Reminds me of my visit in pre- VT time. Greetings from eternal Jerusalem! Avi
Good tips to help the first time visitor to Rome,
Thanks for all the tips you have posted. People like you are going to make my honeymoon to rome that much better. Keep up the good work. Jenn
You are absolutely right. This cathedral is grossly underrated. I highly recommend San Giovanni in Laterano. Very large, intricate Medici era ceilings, gold everywhere, intricate marble floors, obelisk outside. Don't miss this site in Rome!
The Collesium,,still full of cats ?? great pages,combined with some lovely photos,nice one x
I haven't been to Rome in over 20 years. Your pages inspire me to go back. We had one of the best meals ever at Piazza Navona. (Tre Scalini) Merry Christmas from Florida.
I can't understand your political correctness. Why are you being kind to thieves?
