La griffe, is situated five mins away from the Termini station which is the main place if you wanna go to other places, its a quite area and not many tourists. i strongly suggest that if yu want to get the feel of rome and not be surrounded by other tourists its the best place to be. unlike the spanish steps which is constantly surrounded by tourists and kinda offputting for me. At night theres cafe's in a place 2 mins away in a place called repulicca where u can just enjoy a coffee even at 1am! Its not far from many tourist spots and the metro is literally a walk up the road to get anywhere you like. on arrival you will recieve a map, the places that amazed us were: Piaza navona, vatican city, colleseum, the church on via dell corso, the shopping on via dell corso, the miltary place, (which name i hav forgot sorry) and piazza de popolo! to be hoenst i think the trevi fountain was nice but rather overblown as the sapce was tight and tooo many people around it. i would say the same for the spanish steps, but thats totally my opinion but i would still say they worth checking out! Hope you enjoy your stay!!

You MUST see the colloseum and Roman Forum as they are both amazing. I would recommend joining a tour to see these as they are extremely informative and fun. I would recommend trying to walk around the city rather that taking the metro as you see more and stumble upon attractions you probably wouldn't see. Just one thing, be aware that every wednesday it is an audience with the pope so you will queue for hours if you want to visit St. Peters and the Sistine Chapel. We enjoyed our trip to Rome and would definetly go again. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at and we didn't have a bad meal the whole time we were there.

A must is the Trevi Fountain, Sistene Chapel, Via Condotti (just to window shop obviously not to spend money) and St Peter's to see the Pope on a Wednesday morning was an awesome experience....& I'm not religious, it's one of those once in a lifetime things. Best way to get around is the Metro, scarey at first for two women travellers but fast, efficient and best of all..cheap! Eating., well, anywhere that sells pizza & pasta is fine by me.

Trattorria Tritone (recommended by reception at hotel) not far from the Trevi fountain was very good. Very friendly and reasonable price. If visiting the Vatican advise trying to reserve a space ahead of time and thereby avoiding the v.v.long queue (unless you get up at the crack of dawn). See Vatican website for fax number. I managed to reserve a spot and at 10am on the day walked past a queue of about 10,000 people straight to the head of the queue and went straight in.

Best form of transport is open top bus to view majority of sights.
