Rome, Italy + Add a trip

Rome is a modern and cosmopolitan city and the third most-visited tourist destination in the European Union. It's hard to say what you'll find most spectacular about the Eternal City: the Vatican Museums and St Peter's Basilica, the timelessness of the Forum, the gory resonance of the Colosseum or the Pantheon.

The Segway Experience Tour and Cruiser Bike Tour are the most appropriate to visit the entire historical center of Rome in less time then simply walking, from the Colosseum to the Imperial Forums, from the Vatican City to the beautiful Piazza di Spagna and much more!

After the museums, the monuments and the art, enjoy an exclusive Wine Tasting in a typical wine bar located in the heart of Rome. Enjoy some of the many delicious tastes of the Lazio region

Capperi! is one of the best restaurants we've ever been to in Rome. It's very popular with the locals and it is just a few minutes away from the Balduina station. Don't leave without trying their Spaghetti Alle Vongole Veraci.

Lavender path leads to outdoor pool surrounded by a lawn and sided by tall pines weaving in the wind, blending in harmony with their relatives in bordering Villa Pamphili park. Good continuous runway from room to lift to car for trolleys and scooters ;-) though the security is a little paranoid the receptionists displayed a good sense of humour. Don't miss the breakfast at an extra 15 Euro but it is infinite! Indoor pool too. Enjoy!

http://www.060608.it/en is the Rome Council website I translated bits of. It lists all places to stay and eat and other info in a simple manner with prices and map location. Easily searchable web 2.0 interface. Also see http://www.atac.roma.it/ for online travel info, best route calculator, live bus arrival times (a godsend). It is geared for mobile access too and if you are using public transport you can call local number 06570003 to find out at what time a bus is due and information about their timetables.

Busy and modern, the staff are too hip and you are too square for them, but I love it anyway.

Have pizza downstairs.

Very decent hotel, really well situated in central Rome right near Piazza Navona, so in walking distance of all the sights. Fantastic roof terrace with views over the city - perfect for watching the sun go down behind St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant near the Piazza del Populo. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.

Incredibly good restaurant. A must if you visit Rome. You won't regret going there for lunch, I promise.

Love rome!
