  • I don't know whether this should be under off the beaten track or warning.
    This is a beaten track allright. Everybody wants to climb the stairs of St Peter's basilica to reach the top and have a fantastic view. You can either climb the stairs or use an elevator . The stairs are narrow accomodating a single file of people. This climb is not for the fainthearted or the claustrophobic.

    I climbed with a group of nuns they huffed and puffed. Their comment 'the trials and tribulations we have to face to meet our lord ' says it all.

     Brave to go to Rome without much forward planning! But it must have been a real adventure. Thanks

     Perhaps a picture of the place could have done better. Why dont you post some more photos of Italy!!

     Yes, I agree wholeheartedly - Italy (especially Rome) belongs to the world - and is rightfully an international city. Ciao, Carol
