A short stay in Rome

A few years ago I was in Rome, although I remember my time there as if was just yesterday. I can't wait to go back, and recently we've been talking about doing exactly that, perhaps for a long weekend in a discount Rome hotel.

Rome is known as the eternal city for a good reason, it is beautiful, filled with history, and never seems to be anything less than awe-inspiring.

My favorite place in Rome would have to be around the Trevi Fountain, watching people throw coins over their shoulders into the water, seeing the statues rising magnificently up into the air, and all around, the apartment building where I could imagine spending a few hours on a balcony watching locals and tourists alike.

The Colosseum has got to be one of the most impressive ancient buildings on the planet, and being able to wander inside where gladiators and slaves would fight for the glory the Empire sends shivers down your spine. I got goosebumps looking down into the tunnels beneath the Colosseum just imagining what it would have been like.

Of course no trip to Rome would be complete without also visiting the Vatican City and seeing it's museum and the Cistine Chapel. Saint Peter's Basilica is also on site and is a must see destination while in Rome.
