"ROME SWEET ROME" Rome by dtownkitty

Rome Travel Guide: 11,942 reviews and 26,476 photos

Rome has many opportunities for exploring & it is a city with many faces. However, every experience, no matter how each one may vary can be exhilerating. You can get religious and see the Pope, delve into the city's rich history and see first hand the places where western culture was shaped, you can enjoy it's romance, it's wonderful food and wines and enjoy the local culture. Here, as in much of Italy, it seems that people live life to it's fullest, with passion. A visitor may describe this mood as chaotic. My advice is to throw yourself into it and become a part of it. Let your senses be hightened and enjoy every moment of that wild cab ride! Savor every meal, each glass of wine, every walk, and all the sights you have come to see.

Damn...I missed out on seeing the crypt while I was in Rome. We seen the catacombs in Vienna though. They were cool.
