"All the things that Rome is..." Rome by agarcia


Rome Travel Guide: 13,939 reviews and 24,429 photos

Rome is huge, beautiful, chaotic, romantic, magnificent, noisy, monumental. In a word, Rome is alive, and it has been alive for the past 3000 years. This means that Rome as a city, has been invented and reinvented since then continuously, constructing churches and palazzos and piazzas with the stones of ancient temples.

Roma, città aperta

What most amazed me about Rome is that, despite all the awesome monuments, impressive churches and famous ruins, it's a place where people lives, and the live their life with a great intensity. One has no other choice than to do in Rome like the Romans does, that is, enjoying the food, the wine, the city and the people that surround you. It's quite an experience.

Back from Rome

It sound dangerously close to the topic, but I just can´t get enough of Rome; the ambiance of the streets and piazzas, the fading colors of the buildings, all those countless delightful spots that the eternal city offers...

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beautiful as no other city
  • Cons:Chaotic. Terrible traffic
  • In a nutshell:By all means, Rome.
