I love Rome, we got married there and then went back for our second anniversary. It was as good second time around cos we actually got to see more cos we had no wedding to arrange. The Colloseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican & Sistine are all musts when there, as others have said, there are stunning buildings around every corner so a comfortable pair of walking shoes are also a must. We stayed in Hotel Quirinale on Via Nationale for the wedding and we stayed at Hotel Mozart for our return visit. Both hotels were amazing in different ways. Quirinale would be expensive to stay in for a weekend break but we got great deals for our wedding, Mozart has a stunning roof wine terrace where you can sit and look over the city while listening to the opera in the background, brilliant. Have a great time whatever you get up to.
*Jealous*
Colliseum is good but get there reasonably early and be prepared to queue
Get the guide book (obviously cheaper on Amazon), I found it very useful.Have read through a couple of the Rome links. We are going for 4 days and I am looking for say top ten list of things to do and see?.
If you are going to St Peters, make sure your shoulders are covered and I think shorts are not allowed. I could not wait to get out of there. The wealth was unbearable given the poverty in the world. I was disgusted. The Catholic Church is dripping in wealth and still begging for more. Is this what God intended......I think not. Sorry to go on but I feel so strongly about this.
Rome is a beautiful city as many others have given the places of interest above. Have a great time.
An alternative is the Irish College, especially if you want/need to go to mass on the Sunday, incredibly peaceful and the church is very simple,
