Impressive impressions

by ATLC - last update: Oct 30, 2007

Amore and Psyche, in Ostia Antica
We were lucky to arrive very early and our flight back was in the evening so we had 6 full days of sightseeing.

It will take a while to make this page so here's a short impression.
600 Valentino dresses in the Ara Pacis
Day 1.
After check in at Hotel Quisisana (very near Roma Termini station):
Churches: S. Maria Maggiore, San Pietro in Vincoli (churches), walk to the Colosseum and visit S. Clemente, the church built on top of another church, built on top of a Roman house.

Day 2.
Piazza del Populo, S. Maria del Populo (church), Via del Corso, Mausoleum of Emperor August, Ara Pacis, the Valentino exhibit, coffee at Caffe Greco, Piazza di Spagna, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, S Maria sopra Minerva, Largo Argentina
Day 3.
Visit Ostia Antica, walk around the neighbourhood of the hotel, local shops, supermarket.
Day 4.
Vatican
Day 5.
Colosseum, Palantine, Forum Romanum, icecream at Giovanno Freddi
Day 6.
Bus to Largo Argentina, walk along Tiber, Tiber island, Porta Portese market, S. Cecilia, walk about Trastevere.
Coffee at Caffe Greco
Short is short. Haven't mentioned half the churches in between walks, the lunches and dinners (we tried all the restaurants in the street of our hotel), the icecreams and errrr.... did I mention the walks?

 Terrific Valentino photos - made note of a few of your restaurants. Grazie, Carol

 Let's see ... Valentino, ice-cream, homemade pasta, grilled vegs, crazy shoes.. a read that changes me much from my current occupation (typing our company statutes). A great interesting first visit it was. Waiting for more. :-)
