Nice community in Rome

Lovely Aperitivo and party time, meet travellers to Rome or peolple living there.

Great Restaurant with Art!

Try Il Gabrielo just a few minutes walk from the Spanish Steps for great Roman cuisine, excellent prices, and an extensive wine list. The service is efficient and fast. It's small, and the decor is basic complemented by great modern art on the walls.

Perfect holiday package

Why not to add some swimming and sun in holiday; in center of Rome you have plenty of culture&history just add beach holiday on same package. There are great beaches nearby the city, less than a hour train trip e.g. Santa Marinella or Cristofer Colombo(60km from Rome). Our kids just loved those :)

Rent a vespa!!

You'll see lots of shops renting scooters/vespas around Rome. I've used one or two of them and always had an AMAZING time! If you've driven a car and/or cycled a bike in a big city then this is actually easier, although you wouldn't guess that from being a pedestrian in Rome!

Life does not get any better than zipping through Rome on a vespa with your shades on, no matter what month of the year it is, and you can cover a lot of ground if you need to see a lot in a short space of time.

Just bring in your driving licence, give a credit card imprint as deposit, and then it's about €55 for 24 hours.

Very typical and nice Jazz bar and restaurant in the heart of Rome

Avoid the Sistini Chapel queues at Vatican

Avoid the 3 hour queues for that Michelangelo action by booking a guided tour through the Vatican State Apparatus itself. You need to do this a day in advance, but it means less than a 5 minute wait typically!

Be careful with your PCs, valuables, etc

I've been recently robbed in Rome. We parked our rental car on Lungotevere Farnesina and when we came back from lunch we found our luggage was been stolen. The luggage was in the trunk, and it was NOT visible. The street we parked on was very busy. People tell me that rental cars are especially targeted by thieves. So always keep your PCs and stuff with you!

Museo dell'Ara Pacis with the GUSTO-world

The only modern building within the historical city: "The Ara Pacis Augustae (Latin, "Altar of Augustan Peace"; commonly shortened to Ara Pacis) is an altar to Peace, envisioned as a Roman goddess. ..." This modern building with its altar is used for modern exhibitions.

Nearby you find the great modern "GUSTO"-World with musik, art, lit. restaurant, winebar, café around the Piazza Augusto Imperatore, 9, I-00186 Roma, Roma (Latium)‎.

Capodanno 2009

The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art is a really big museum, one of the most important for the range of his collection!

MAXXI art is the first National institution dedicated to contemporary creativity and architecture in Italy: to promote the XXI century's art and architecture.

it's a really big sporting complex compound from Olympic Stadium, Stadio dei Marmi, Tennis Stadium and Swimming Stadium. Really beautiful and amazing....

The "Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana" is also known as the "Palazzo della Civiltà del Lavoro", or simply the "Colosseo Quadrato" (i.e. Square Colosseum).

A recreation centre for children located within the natural beauty of Villa Borghese. Session themes vary according to the exhibitions being held. Children can partecipate in drawing classes and other activities.

In my first trip I was very impressed by this magnificent edifice. I still am.

A statue of Bruno broods in the centre of this lovely square - a reminder of the past brutality of the church that dominates Rome.

...some wonderful places for lunch along with a little history.
