Rome City Guide

Welcome to Rome Escape city guide.providing you with everything you need to know to get the most out of your trip to Rome.

Rome is a huge city and getting around it is not easy. Distances between areas is huge and can take ages even using the trams. The traffic can be chaotic so getting a taxi or bus could end you up in a crazy traffic jam and I do mean crazy. Taking the tram as much as possible is your best form of transport around Rome but even then always allow plenty of time if you are on a schedule.

Rome is one of those's cities you either fall in love with on first sight or find it a noisy, dirty, polluted mess of a city, it's a city where some people arrive and never leave, others spend their lives searching for a place to call "Home" but on arriving in Rome, know they have found it and end up calling it Home. Others who are not so lucky to be able to pack up and move to Rome, find themselves visiting as often as possible, yes it's that kind of town.

Visitors To Rome for the first time are often overwhelmed by the size of it, the mix of people it houses and by the exuberance and friendliness of the locals as well as the Roman history and amazing buildings. Just looking at buildings which are more than two thousand years old is simply breathtaking.

"Doing Rome" in three days is a total waste of time, forget it, unless you intend to return often as it would take a year or longer to "Do Rome" properly and to explore all it has to offer. Just visiting the ten most popular attractions would take you more than three days, especially during the main tourist season.

Most tourists on arrival in Rome find themselves a little lost, with most people not speaking English it can be even harder for Americans as most do not even speak a little of any other language but with a little common sense, a phrase book and map you will manage to get by.

Introduction

If you have ever heard the saying "All roads lead to Rome" well it's actually true, all roads did lead to Rome as it was at one time the administrative centre of the mighty Roman Empire, governing a vast area that stretched from Britain to Mesopotamia but as with most empires, they fall and Rome was no exception.

Today Rome remains the seat of the Italian government and home to most of the ministerial offices, but is second to Milan, in the business, finance as well as fashion of course.

Rome has to be one of the top cities to live in and is simply a tourists paradise with everything the tourist could ever ask for and more.
