Roma 2008

Just back from Rome last night and it was supurb as usual, highly recommended. I felt totally safe throughout the whole time we were there even walking all the way back to our hotel in the night, plenty of police throughout the city and never saw any trouble.

I personally found again that the Vatican and the various Basilica's were the most interesting sites, along with the Roman Forum. Some of the other ancient Roman ruins are not really as well presented as the could be with rubbish even sometimes nearby.


We used Ryan Air to get over to Rome from East Midlands airport and the whole route there was easy and no hassle at all, you do need to be a bit careful on baggage allowance with them though. On arrival, there is a coach that goes all the way to the main train station which was a couple of streets from the hotel.

I would recommend the hotel we used, although it can be noisy at night as there are bars nearby but the prices were good especially considering it's location, we didn't even need to use public transport the whole time we were there.
