La Bocca della Verita, or "The Mouth of Truth," is one of those stops everybody should see in Rome, but it's also an obvious tourist trap. But at least there's no admission. The only trick is seeing when it's open. I went to see it when it was supposed to be open, but the gate was locked when we arrived, so we had to view it through metal bars. However, as such a huge fan of the movie Roman Holiday, I had to see it nonetheless.

...and you'll find lovely moving postcards of typical Roman life, like this father and son trying out the water fountain in the square.

Once the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, this was used as a refuge when Rome was under siege after that. Now, I think it's the best place for a fantastic view over Rome--better than St. Peter's Cathedral, since here you can see both St. Peter's and the rest of the city, too. There are some interesting historical displays and artifacts on display in the Castel, but the highlight is the view from the top. Entrance in 2007 is 8 Euros. I would alllow about 3 hours for a visit here.

Looks like you had a delightful time in Rome!! My familyof 4 will be there in August & I was wondering if you'd still recommend Hotel Sonya? Could you really walk there with luggage from Termini? Thanks, Sylvia | high_d Sun Mar 18, 2007 05:36 UTC
