"Bella Roma!" Rome by oneonta_ni


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

One of my favourite cities!

We love visiting Rome. There is so much to see and even when we have seen it, we want to see it again. The architecture is incredible and it is an amazing city with thousands of years of history everywhere you look. The Romans are very friendly and helpful people and seem to enjoy all the visitors to their city. And then there's the food...

My sister-in-law gave us a lend of a travel guide called 'Top 10 Rome' - one of the Eyewitness guides - and I would highly recommend it. One of the main features of the guide that we found very useful is that it has very good maps and tells you exactly where each site is on the map. It also lists the best features of each district of Rome and not just the main sites overall.

I have a thing about angels; I don't collect them, I just like to look at them. Rome seems to have angels everywhere and this is one reason why I love the city so much. You can find some of these angels on my Roman Angels travelogue. Two of my favourite Roman angels are Sara and Roberto.

For more information on Rome, I can recommend a visit to janchan's (Gianluca) Rome pages.

E molto grazie, Gianluca, (e anche Roberto e Sara) per il vostro aiuto!

The above photo is St Peter's from the River Tiber (known locally as Il Tevere).

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beautiful architecture - thousands of years of history.
  • Cons:Too much to see - you need lots of time to enjoy it all!
  • In a nutshell:A fabulous city - one of my favourites!

    Brava, good pages! Hotels in Rome is a real problem: expansive and very low quality. Paolo Conte? Well, it's a universe..... ;-) It takes years and years.....

    I never found the boca de verita (is that right?) though I wanted to after seeing "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn. But there's only so much Rome you can see in 1 1/2 days.
