  • cool to sit after a afternoons shopping in the many desighner clothes shops but avoid evenings as they are taken over by hundreds of youths drinking wine and singing a bit intimidating

  • Be prepared for a jaw dropping amazing experience, i have seen many things but the beauty and devotion that has gone into this beautiful structure is amazing.after the popes address we went inside and was lucky enough to have mass and communion in a main alter area taken by 3 cardinals in latin with a choir...amazing

  • a great experience 16 euros entry well worth it but be very wary of the many staff as not so friendly of course i was snapping away with my camera and as i got to the cistine chapel cieling the maichaleangelo i took the following pic and was jumped on by a nasty man shouting i must leave and give him my memory card as it was wrong to take a pic i asked why as there was no problem taking the other works of art pictures and suggested that they sold copies of the cieling every 50 yards and wanted to get as much money out of the tourists. also you are plagued outside by males selling copy bags.

  • I got barred and thrown out of the museum for taking this pic, which is a joke as they said it was to protect the art more like to enable them to sell overpriced posters on the way out.This spoiled the whole day but you have to marvel at the mans genius in producing suh beauty...by the way 100's still took pics as he ranted and raved it was chaos if they gave out insructions on the tannoy then i would have known but i explained nobody had told me was noy eneough he wanted me out!!

  • Make sure you pay for one of the guided tours who ask for 20 euros outside you will by pass all the crowds and the cost will include 2 hour tour and the 10 euro entry , very informative and you wear a radio transmitter so you hear everything, at the side of the colleseum are some columns some have been replaced by white translucent plastic ones which locals mockingly call the wedding cake.its a shame that the italian govt cant make real stone ones instead of these cheap looking plastic ones..another amazing site though
