DUUUDEEE.

There's so much to do in Rome. I spent a week there and I saw the Pantheon, Colosseum,Vatican and St. Peter's square, and a whole bunch of churches. Go to the spagna district. The Pantheon is right there, along with the spanish steps and a bunch of shops. Really fun. If you wanna go out, the trevi fountain is a cool place at night. People hang out and **** there. The best restaurants I went to were near the Pantheon.
If you wanna go out and drink, go to campo de fiori. It's a shitshow. It's mainly for younger people and travel abroad students though. I have no idea how old you are so I thought I'd just suggest it.

Please, If you go to one place I tell you about, go to Ostia Antica. It's an ancient port city. Really cool for me cuz I like that stuff. It's up to you though. It's on the outskirts of Rome and you gotta take a train there but it's sooo awesome. It was my favorite part of my trip.

Most of the stuff I mentioned is free or cheap. I am a student so I didn't have a whole lot of $. Still had a great time and I hope you do too. My last piece of advice is to just go get lost. At day, at night, it doesn't matter. Just walk around. Those were my favorite times. You can always get back home. Rome has an awesome subway system (but it closes at 10:00 PM).

We arrived at Rome at 11 p.m. The stillness of night increased the impressive awe that inspired us as we neared the "Eternal City. As we crossed the silent-rolling Tiber, and the reverberations of the railway bridge smote on our ears with a hollow, sepulchral sound, we felt, almost with a shiver, that we were entering a city of the dead.

However, we soon found that Rome was Imperial in her charges. Ultimately we were safely housed about midnight in the Hotel de la Ville, in the Piazza del Popolo, at the head of the Corso. Though perhaps a little out of the way and less conveniently situated than the more central hotels in the Piazza di Spagna, it has many advantages in comfort. This Hotel de la Ville was once the palace and museum of the Marquis Campana. It is surrounded by so-called "English gardens," beautifully decorated with columns, statues, fountains, and orange trees full of golden fruit.

The next morning, on rising, we felt the dream of many years was at last realized!
"Thou art truly a world, O Rome!" says Goethe; and we indeed felt it so, as, having breakfasted, we sallied forth, eager to begin our explorations. A plan of Rome may always be obtained at one's hotel, and it is well to study the streets, etc., and arrange one's campaign of sight-seeing.

Why don' t you just BUY a GUIDE BOOK... there are some really good ones and you can take it with you... plus you will learn a whole lot more about what to see in Rome than you will by asking here on Answers where 95 percent of these people have never been outside the State where they were born.

I have been all over the world.. and when possible, I BUY the GUIDE BOOK for where ever I am going if it's someplace I have never been before.. just to give me a heads up where things are located and what to see..

You might want to consider taking a guided tour to some of the top attractions. This way you can learn from the tour guide, travel with others and not have to worry about transportation.
