It is not possible to decide which are the best and most exciting places of interest for visitors, but there are some essential places which are just a “must see”, such as the Vatican. The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world and headquarters for the Roman Catholic Church. In order to make the most of it, a guided visit is highly recommended, thus you may admire everything of interest without missing anything, and without a lot of background information from your tour guide, which are all very well trained or educated in the history of Rome. Within the Vatican, you cannot miss the Cathedral of San Pedro and the Sistine Chapel, with Micelangelo’s impressive frescos on the ceiling. You may also admire Michelangelo’s frescos in the rooms of Rafael. Those who like history and religion should also visit the Vatican Museums, which provides a very complied picture of the catholic religion.

Rome, also known as the “eternal city,” thanks to its cultural, historical, and by all means religious wealth.

A good alternative to the Christian and religious monuments is the Roman Coliseum. The Coliseum is one of the symbols of Rome and always makes a big impression on visitors. You will feel like an actor in the movie Gladiator.

The Coliseum is still very well conserved, and along with numerous representative illustrations of the historic activities. If you are in Rome during one of the really few events which take place at the Coliseum, make sure you save your tickets wide in advance.

Rome is also a paradise for shopping and is considered a Mecca of fashion. In Italy the fashion of the catwalks is usually available in the stores within a week and if you wait even a bit longer you can purchase them for a lot less. The best way to discover the latest fashion is to sit down and relax in a calm plaza and observe the Italians passing by. Always concerned about their exterior appearance and clothes, the Italians take care of even the smallest detail. Even when their look seams informal or casual, there is no doubt that they are in keeping with the latest fashion. I don’t know how they do it but they never look like they are trying to hard.

The best season of the year to visit Rome is during the months of April, May and June.

To move around Rome, the metro is ideal. Rome has two metro lines: A and B, and currently there is a third line in construction, and plans are on their way for a fourth line as well. For a city trip I recommend the 3-day pass which gives you access to all public transportation and a discount for a long list of sights.

Another outstanding place to visit, although perhaps a little hackneyed, is the famous Trevi Fountain. Legend says that anyone who throws a coin into the fountain will return to Rome. Some say that by throwing two coins you will marry soon, and three at the same time leads to divorce. If I were you, I would not risk it… let’s not forget that Rome is the city of myths and secrets.
