Some notes

in yard view from a cheap hotel
Dont take too much as task, but for first time i recommend:
-if staying a whole week, buy the week-ticket for bus/metro
-locate the money and credit card in safe pocket

must-see-sights first:

1. Capitolium-Forum Romanum-(free of charge)
(+Palatino hills- Colosseum -entrance fee!)
2. Michelangelos restoration on spa-to-church on pza republiccia (free of charge)
3. centrum spots; pantheon (free), trevi fountain(free) pza navona etc.
4. aqveducts (free of charge)
