"La dolce vita a Roma..." a Rome Travel Page by melissa_bel

It’s really hard to write about Rome because so much has been said about it already. But everything you’ve heard is true: beauty, culture, history, weather… It is really, really difficult not to fall in love in Rome. History is everywhere and different periods are intimately mixed together: Renaissance churches built on the remains of Roman temples for instance. It is a city that is both pagan and deeply religious. It's the long nights spent strolling down the streets, going to a bar and enjoying a limoncello before going dancing and the Sunday afternoons paying a visit to the Vatican, surrounded by masterpieces.

More than 2000 years of history… it’s a lot and it can be overwhelming if you feel rushed that is why Rome is best discovered if you give it time or beware of information overdose! Between churches, piazza's, fountains, Roman ruins, museums, shopping and... few... eating, it's a lot to take. Give it at least 4 days an that’s a strict minimum. It’s also the best way to enjoy “La Dolce Vita”. I had 10 months to enjoy it so… I hope this helps getting the most of it for those who have less time.
