Getting Started

Before planning any trip remember that the success of any travel depend by two main factors: your expectations and your travel companions. Regarding Rome three are the main expectations every visitor generally has: visit the Ancient Rome as seen in the movies, see the Vatican and admire the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Raphael and the Baroque Rome with its squares and fountains, last but not least enjoy the Italian and roman cuisine and buy some famous Italian handcrafts. Most of the people are happy after a quick visit to the Colosseum, a Visit of the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica, a stroll from Trevi Fountain to Piazza Navona and some shopping and an Ice-cream around the Spanish Steps. Although this basic tasks may look easy to achieve, they may not be easy at all, they may require much more time, due to the long queues, and money than they should. This guide is dedicated to all those travellers who want to get the best from their stay in Rome at the right price and within the right, reasonable, time. For the second aspect unfortunately choosing your travel mates is all up to you!
