    Getting TO/AROUND: When I learned that Rome had a metro service I was hopeful that it would be very helpful. In fact it was not. Built more to commute bureaucrats and business people from their homes in the suburbs to their offices in the city centre, there are few places in Rome that the average tourist might be able to visit by way of the metro.
    Part of the problem with building a metro line in Rome is that everytime they extend a line they run into another important ruin, so rich is Rome in archeological importance. However the metro is quite affordable. It cost just .75 Euros for a ticket. They are sold at tabocco shops around the city. The metro operates for 5:30am to 11:30pm.

     Absolutely wonderful page on Rome Paul. I enjoyed reading your experiences there esp. Santa Maria Magiore, San Pietro in Vincoli, Pantheon & the Colosseum. Irish Pubs in Rome - and conveniently located near your hotel. What more could you ask for!!

     what an excellent page and great pics ! It is amazing to see these buildings, that have survived more than 2000 years already !

     Cogent descriptions of the architecture, as always. When I was in Rome there was a heat wave and bus strike on, so I didn't get that much out of it. Must try again at some other time of year.
