Surrey Phil Mar 2017 8:21pm, 22 Mar 2017 1,891 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Rome felt a bit like London with its graffiti but with older monuments. There are groups of Italians and North Africans around who will do anything to get you to part with your money. Such as posing for photos with Roman soldiers at the Coliseum, trying to get you to buy a red rose for your other half and even bringing out umbrellas with the first spots of any rain! I went to the St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, the Coliseum, Trevi fountain and Spanish Steps. The Circus Maximus is nothing more than a park now, but you can still get the flavour of the place simply by its size. I did like Rome but preferred Venice and my wife liked Florence.

What I would advise is to walk around as much as possible rather than using public transport. Although do take care crossing roads, a green man just means you have a chance of reaching the other side! By walking, I came across some lovely piazzas that I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise.
