  • The Colosseum has to be seen, at least from the outside. It is a magnificent ruin, the arches are so graceful and the size imposing.
    The tourist trappings, however, tend to detract from the experience but make for fascinating people watching.

     Was taking an apartment in Rome better than a hotel?
