Please...Are there any "must see" points of interest in or around Rome, within walking distance of our hotels? |
We will be staying at the Hotel Sheraton Golf and also the Villa Pamphili, for a total of 5 days, in August '08.
Aside from our planned tour, are there any points of interest, not normally part of a tour...such as shopping, restaurants, theaters, historic sites, events, etc. ? |

In addition to the information below... Pick a guidebook on Rome...There are several good ones: Lonely Planet, DKEyewitness, Frommers, Rick Steves... Read through them to see which one you like best. I have used all of them..
Sheraton Golf Hotel Rome
This hotel is near the airport so there are no near by points of interest. The hotel provides a shuttle to the center of Rome
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll/qsc...
Sheraton Golf Hotel Rome
167 V.le del Parco de' Medici - Rome 00148 - Italy
The hotel operates a complimentary scheduled bus service to and from Magliana metro station and the city centre. There is an hourly express train service to Rome’s Termini Station or a slower stopping service leaves every 20 minutes to Tiburtina. For arrivals between 11.30pm and 5am there is a night bus service to Tiburtina station. Taxis are readily available.
Rome has an integrated public transportation system including buses, trams, two subway lines, suburban trains and coaches. Buses are the most efficient way to get around. The hotel provides a free shuttle to and from the center of Rome.
Villa Pamphili
This hotel as well is far from the center of Rome.
However, the hotel provides a free courtesy bus

Sightseeing Guide in Rome

Great sightseeing bus services. I would highly recommend.
You can purchase the tickets at the Bus 110 ticket booth near Termini station located between the city buses in the booth there or aboard the bus.
110 Bus is an open sightseeing bus which makes stops to the main attractions in Rome... It is a hop on/hop/off bus...
Good idea if you have children or adult who cannot walk a lot.
A bus ticket cost 16 euros. and children under 6 do not pay.(children 6-12 years Euro 7,00)
From Termini Station, departing every day, every 15 minutes. You can also hop on one of the buses at one of their stops and buy a ticket.
Archeobus will take you to Appia Antica. It is a sightseeing bus that will take to all the sites of the old Appia way... It departs every hour from 9:45am- 4.45am from the Termini train station. You can buy them on board the bus or at the Red Bus 110 Ticket booth.... They have 2 forms-- a 2 hour sightseeing bus or the hop on/ hop off It cost 10 euro.
If you would like to buy a both tickets you save 2 euros.
The Archeobus ticket + 110 bus - Euro 24,00
For stops for each of the buses, check out this site. The Bus 110 stops are the nearest stop to the attraction.

Dining in Rome
(At some places in Rome, it is possible to order a half portion of pasta (but not for half price) )
*** Always visit the bathrooms in the local restaurants before you leave. They are usually very clean and are free of charge. I always make this a point on my trips to use them.
