A visit to the trevi fountain is a must on any Rome itinerary. We always spend a little while here just to take in the atmosphere. The fountain, itself, is spectacular but the crowds are a pain.

No trip to Rome(or Italy for that matter)would be complete without a visit to a gelateria. Rome is full of them and they're generally all good. Every flavour imaginable: Chocolate,mocca,strawberry,lemon ,pistachio etc.

As you approach the Vatican City from Rome along the Via Conciliazione, the first impression is the splendour. Opening up onto Piazza San Pietro, you are confronted by St. peters and the Vatican offices left and right. This is a very impressive piazza indeed. When entering the basilica, it is customary and respectful to be dressed appropriately. Ladies must cover their shoulders(at least) and although allowed, flip flops are not quite the ticket. On entering, St peters jumps out on you. It is gigantic and breathtaking. The museums are worth a visit but there are usually long queues. The same applies to the Sistine chapel(when its open).

Trajan's column depicts the wars against Dacia(modern day Rumania)in graphic detail. This column sits at the corner of Via Dei Fori Imperiali and Foro Traiano. Well worth a look as you leave the forum. It is set back from the main drag but you cant miss it.

At the bottom of the Palatine lies one of the greatest architectural achievements of all time. The Colloseum(Amphitheatre of Vespasian). Construction started between 70AD and 72AD and was commissioned by the Emperor Vespasian. Upon his death, the task was continued by his son Titus and was finished in 80AD. It originally housed 50000 spectators who watched games and spectacles right into the 6th century.

Leaving the colloseum, head towards the Pallatine hill and you will come across Constantine's Arch. Erected circa 315AD to commemorate Constantine 1st's triumph at Maxentius.

Between Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill, stands the MonumentoNazionale a Vittorio Emanuelle 11. This vast white marble monument was devoted to Victor Emanuelle and houses the museum of Italian reunification.

Just around the corner from the Trevi fountain, its worth taking a trip to the Scala di Spagna (Spanish Steps). Always crowded with young courting couples just sitting with their arms around each other. Without question, the widest and longest staircase in Europe, this is a great place to just relax and people watch.

The Roman forum is a big crowd puller. And rightly so - The land was originally a marsh but the Romans drained it to build their political and social centre. Built between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, the forum rapidly expanded with triumphal arches, temples and a senate house. The travertine paths, laid in the time of Augustus Caeser, can still be seen today.
