I'm going to Rome in two weeks for a month to learn a little bit of Italian and take a break from my job in London. I speak very basic Italian but have decided to just dive in ...
6 people traveling to Italy (2) to get married in June. Is it a good idea to buy tickets now or should we wait to see if ticket prices will come down?...
Im going there in early March and i wonder if there are sales or perhaps special clothing shops not so familiar to tourists.Also non tourist restaurants....
I heard they are romantic, passionate & family oriented guys.
Tell me anything that describe an Italian guy.(physical attributes, characteristics, religion, etc.)
Just curious....
Going to Italy in a few weeks and I'm not completely sure what clothes to take so if someone could tell me if it's really hot/cold/mild it would be much appreciated :) thanks a lot....
i am goin to Italy for a week with ma family.
jus wanted to know if anyone here could help me out in planning ma trip and updating me of what places to visit there and what are things to see.<...
in Rome, that would be within walking distance of the "tourist attractions"? Nothing too fancy, but it would need to be a fairly nice place to stay, and it's just for adults, not ...
Personally, I like just wandering around finding interesting spots to take photos and trying neighborhood restaurants out of the tourist area. There are a ton of unusual places to visit and things to see in Rome.
One thing that a lot of people miss in Rome is the view through the keyhole at the Consiglio di Malta on Aventine Hill. There's a picture here: http://www.theculturedtraveler.com/Archi... and others:

This is worth the effort to find (close to Circus Maximus) - relatively few do. This site give directions on how to find it: http://wikitravel.org/en/Rome/Aventino
The Crypt at Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini is also worth a visit if you're interested in seeing works of art made from the bones of .more than 4000 monks. http://www.cappucciniviaveneto.it/cappuc...
The Museum of the Souls of Purgatory is essentially a ghost museum.
Or you could go to the Pasta Museum of the Presepi (nativity scene) museum across the street from the forum. There's also a 2000+ year old pyramid but it's a little more out of the way.
You should definitely visit the main tourist spots - my favorite is the Pantheon and I like the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva church that's near the Pantheon. (Look for the oblisk with the elephant out front).

Walking around the Trastevere district in the evening...or taking an aperitivo at Campo de' Fiori.
Rome is generally a safe place, though you should watch out for your bag all the time and try to avoid going alone around the Termini Central Station at night.
