    We'll be either walking or using public transport :)

      I'm taking my partner for her 50th birthday to Rome tomorrow. We'll be there till next Tuesday for a few days sightseeing. It's my first trip to Italy so really looking forward to it. Hoping to visit the Vatican, Colosseum and Trevi Fountain to name a few things we want to see. Try to behave yourselves in my absence and I'll see you all when I get back ;P

      Good luck getting past all the selfie-stick and cr@p tour sellers. Oh, and if you want to visit the historic ruins, near the Coliseum, don't carry anything bigger than a wedding-ring box with you.

        I'm heading there next week - also my first visit. If all roads lead to Rome, why do all their street signs start with "Via" ? :-)

        "Via" means "Get a move on!", which is the national requirement for driving styles.

                    Keep your eyes open because it's full of muggers and don't trust any tourist guide that you haven't booked from accredited agencies beforehand!

                                Rome is that kind of city where you get amazed just by simply walking in the streets. It is busy yes, but like every capital city. Enjoy the city and the food (i recommend having a good "Matriciana" in Trastevere) and don't bother to give credit to all those saying that it is dangerous and crazy over there. These old cliches are carried on by those who never got out from their teeny town and still believe in Santa Claus :) Enjoy, i envy you

                                  The only city where I've seen cars (Smart cars, Fiat500 mini & micro car) parked at 90' to the pavement between larger more sensibly parked cars. Rush hour from my area resembled a chariot race with motors... :)

                                    Never been, supposed to be amazing, I have only been over the border to Liguria, so I am envious right now. :) Try a Pizza, and tell W::Balboos how good it is, he is really interested in Italian pizza. :)

                                        I'm taking my partner for her 50th birthday to Rome tomorrow. We'll be there till next Tuesday for a few days sightseeing. It's my first trip to Italy so really looking forward to it. Hoping to visit the Vatican, Colosseum and Trevi Fountain to name a few things we want to see. Try to behave yourselves in my absence and I'll see you all when I get back ;P

                                        My wife was there in July with a friend of ours, and had a great time. I only got to see video of it, but try to get in to see the Blue Grotto if you can. It's amazing. Get there early, boats fill up quickly. Have fun!
