Roma

I love Italy, and have been there many times (I am fortunate to live close to the border), but have yet to go to Roma! I can’t wait to get there! It is one place I might consider visiting as a tourist.

Well, my husband and I will be laid over at the airport in Rome for 10 hours on our trip from Tunis to Cairo. Is it feasable to leave the airport and see any of the sights during this lay-over? Are there any great places to see close to the airport? We might just have a meal or enjoy coffee at a cafe. Any suggestions? I am just excited to be able to leave the airport and have a look around. I am not an experienced traveler, but is this possible?

It’s crammed full of amazing ruins, architecture and art – sometimes to the point of being overwhelming.

Bellisima! although the men kinda smell and the women don’t shave, yet the food, history, and atmosphere is wonderful!

Roma is worth visiting to see the history, but it is a busy, dirty, and unsafe city in some areas. I would go back, but this time I would be better prepared with lower expectations.

Bummer. The Rome trip is off, at least for this year. But all is not lost, I will be going somewhere in Europe this summer, and I have many fabulous options. I may be checking a few places off the list. (How exciting!)

I’m going! This summer, I will be there for two weeks. It will be my first trip to Europe. I get to see all of the Art History sights that I’ve always wanted to see, and church history too. An interior design instructor and an episcopal priest are leading the tour. I can barely contain myself!

Been there, but I would like to go again.

I ADORE the place, I LOVE the people & I’ll probably end up returning year after year …

(have friends who live there) :)

I studied abroad in Europe for a semester and I have to say that of all the places I have visited, Rome is my very favorite place on earth.

For any Latin student, this is the mecca of actually putting use to everything you learned about the dead language.

My tip is to see everything twice – during the day when you have time to explore, and at night. The Spanish steps, the coliseum, the forum, etc… are all dazzling under the moonlight.
