    Getting TO/AROUND: It's incredibly easy to get around Rome using the metro system. Driving looked downright scary and finding a place to park impossible. Plus, the price of gasoline was insane! We found that an all day metro pass for 4 euro worked just fine for all of the sightseeing we did. Most things were within a couple of blocks of the metro stop and easy to get to.

    Only bad thing: avoid the metro during the week during afternoon rush hour. It's incredibly crowded (think sardines) and all of those bodies smashed together on a warm sunny afternoon... well, it reeks!!!

     I was actually in a gift shop IN the Vatican when this happened to me. The lady behind the register charged me triple for my purchase and when I called her on it, she said it was her first day on the job and apologized for her 'error'!
