Like Rome in 48 hours Thurs

You have arrived in Rome to kill only a couple of days. As you can see everything you see in so short a time? This is the guide to the best of Rome for a short time.

19:00

We hope that the hotel was pretty easy, so now it is to dare to control the search of a good meal. A meal in the Trastevere area of town has several advantages. First, there are a lot of tourist type sidewalk restaurants and pizzeriaschoose, and secondly they are out walking in some fresh attractions such as the well preserved Pantheon.

Rome is as attractive as night and day, with the heat of a Roman summer, night time walks can save only a few hours of excessive sweating during the day. Each of the small streets between the Pantheon and Piazza di Spagna are in an ideal position to a large plate of pasta and a carafe of wine went to enable alleasily.

21:00

Make your way to Piazza di Spagna to sit and stay with the locals, while the view from the top of the stairs in front of the Church of Trinita dei Monti offers a splendid view over the city. Walk through the Trevi Fountain and buy dessert in the form of an egg and groped his luck with the change. Toss a coin over your shoulder to come back, come back two coins and kissing, or three coins to come back and got married.

22:00

Keep walkingthe streets of Venice, Piazza Venezia, so named because the palace overlooking the Piazza this is similar to the Palazzo Ducale. 'The balcony on the second floor may look familiar, it was the platform from which the dictator "Duce" Mussolini has His speeches fascists. The other point of view of the square is the single point of the monument of Vittorio Emanuele II

This has several nicknames over the years, the wedding cake and a well-deservedTypewriter. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies here under armed guard along with the eternal flame. If the monument is open there is a fantastic view over the rooftops of Rome, a look at the Roman Forum and Colosseum behind. This is in the twilight closed, but many of the ruins are illuminated at night.

Clock 23:00.

When the night hath revived, there is the possibility of investigations for the local nightlife, as there are many bars and clubs around the central district. There are alsosome in other places such as Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori, which will remain open until the wee hours. Otherwise go back to the hotel to ready for tomorrow.

08:00

It is worth starting early, especially in summer, the masses and temperatures, but, fortunately, not the city not to be overly done, the spread to get different views. The subway system is a basic use, to say the least, there are only two subway lines, which are crossing the city and buses clearly marked withDestinations. Termini is the central bus and subway terminal. Tickets must be purchased before boarding and validated in the yellow machine on the basis of € 1 for a spin.

No visit to Rome is complete without a visit to the Vatican. St. Peter is seen on the western side of the river Tiber to the dome of St. Peter by many of the city. Room Vatican Museums are open 8:45 to 4:00, with last admission 03.30 just before the clock during the summer months.It is up to 13:00 on Saturdays and Open Season, while it is closed on Sundays and religious customs. You need a lot of time to get through the halls of the museum's seven kilometers walk to the Sistine Chapel, where you can get to see the details and wonder at the creation of the ceiling by Michelangelo. It is worth some sort of description of the frescoes are to explain in practical terms what you are watching. The Pope gives his public address on Wednesday morning at 11 clock.

13:00

I'm still hungrymore there is the large interior of the basilica, the crypt under the dome and the view from the top down in the square. Now is probably a good time to eat something before getting to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Take plenty of water with you during the summer months as a provider of intelligent small bottles for sale at inflated prices. In addition to lunch and you get the hottest part of the day.

15:00

Tickets for the Coliseum can be purchased at the gate, but if the linetime you can go door at the base of the Palatine and buy there. The line is usually much shorter, not many tourists up the mountain. The remains of the palace of the emperor is at the top to the bottom stretegically Forum and Temple of the Vestal Virgins. This hill is also said to be the place where Romulus founded Rome.

In addition to the Coliseum is the Arch of Constantine, who has been an exercise in the recycling of old monuments of the EmperorConstantine, the reward for victory against Maxentius. The Coliseum has in the past 1,800 years by earthquakes, intruders and marble merchants, but the recent restoration projects was seen damaged parts of it to return a good impression of its original state.

16:00

Sacred Way leading from the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, the center of the ancient Roman world trade. The ruins include the original forum, the funeral pyre of Julius Caesar, the Senate of his palace, the temple ofVestal Virgins and the Arch of Septimius Severus. The forum of hundreds of years of flooding has been buried, each layer has been stripped back to reveal another Roman times, and in some cases, which have merged two eras, such as the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. The port is showing up in the middle of the wall exposed, where the soil during the 8th century, when the second-century temple was converted into a church.

There are many guides available, such as historyStudents and authorized guides offer their services with tour of the Forum and the Colosseum. The stories that really help tell the ruins come to life. Across the street is Trajan's Column Trajan's Forum with the most conspicuous. This marks the edge of ancient Rome and the continuation of the modern city. Unfortunately, most of ancient Rome is below Via dei Fiori Imperiali, the road built by Mussolini for the play up and down to his troops before them in battle.

17:00

The restspent the day or indulge in some people watching in a cafe in Piazza Navona and the Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini sculptures, or relax in the shade of the Villa Borghese park will be the 17th century. Then its back to the club missed last night.

08:00

It depends a lot if you decide to leave. An early morning departure so that you can take in one of three options, provided you start early. The Baths of Caracalla is an area of 10 hectaresOnce 1600 people there, enjoy swimming, shopping, libraries, gardens and public entertainment. They open at 9 clock closes one hour before sunset and 02:00 on Monday. You need about 3-4 hours, including travel time to display them.

The other option is one of the great catacombs, which are buried beneath the city to visit. These are the miles and miles of tunnels, chambers and major churches of early Christians dug to escape persecution by the Romans. The rooms of severeCountless meters high and the tunnel to run on multiple levels. The resulting rabbit hole requires a guide you through and be safe. You can of them on the Via Appia Antica, which are the largest, or the Catacombs of San Callisto, next door to the catacombs of San Sebastiano are chosen. They open at 8:30 clock closed for lunch, reopening in the afternoon from 14:30 to 05:00 clock. Again, it should take 3-4 hours at a site in

10:00

The third andfinal decision to abandon everything and indulge in some tourist experience authentic food. The food markets north of the Vatican, are close to Viale dele Millizie and held in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele near Termini which offer a selection of fresh and prepared locally.

There you have it, all the main places of interest within a 2 days. The choice is now, I have to leave now?
