Haven't found the Rome jokes about TP funny in about 4 years. Mainly because the majority of people who keep on mentioning it weren't even members on here at the time.

I'm going to Rome next year with work for a few days. I'm going to stay on for the week.
Any recommendations of what to do?

Go and see the Colosseum but do NOT get a photo taken with the lads dressed as Centurians/Gladiators outside.
We did last year, using my own camera, it took about 30 seconds, I went to hand him a few quid and he said "there are 4 of you...at €10 each that is €40!!!! I had a huge row with him, I threw €4 in coin on the ground and stormed off, he followed me, the wife and 2 young kids spitting at me and calling me a pig. When we got home I emailed the Rome/Italian tourist boards, the Rome police (who did email me back and said they would look into it) and the Irish Embassy (who said "we hope it didn't spoil your stay, but as you have already contacted the local police we will leave it at that - i.e. do sweet FA about it). |

If you are interested you should go to The Forum, just across the road for the Colosseum. Take a stroll through the city at sunset up around piazzas del popolo and navona. Take a boat trip in the Villa Borghese gardens. Take the tram to Trastevere. Nice spot and lovely eateries. Very bohemian (sic) and arty district. All quite touristy things but when in Rome...... |

It truly is one of the great cities in the world. Do all the touristy things and wear a good pair of shoes as the city is best seen on foot. it's one massive open air museum you'll find something from the Roman Renaissance etc periods on every street corner.

This - there really is something to see everywhere. Came across the spot where Caesar was assassinated by accident as well as God knows how many little churches with Rennaissance paintings. Book online for Colloseum, Vatican, etc. Some of the ticket queues are mental. Worth paying little extra for guided tour of Colloseum. And the food..

Elastic waisted clothes are at must cos the food is only to die for.
A comfortable pair of shoes / trainers. There's a metro opp the Colosseum so start there and onto the Romans forum which is nearby. Then Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II. All are on the same stretch of road. The Pantheon, Spanish steps, trevi fountain and Piazza Navona and the Vatican. There's an Irish bar across from Monumento a Vittorio, called Scholars. |

Trastevere has great restaurants, make sure to visit Pizzeria Dar Poeta.

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."
