| DESTINATION ITALY AMALFI ~ Modern Luxury, Past Centuries' Charm & Stunning Antiquity On Italy's Amalfi Peninsula TURIN/TORINO For information on the city that is hosting the 2006 Winter Olympics check out the Torino Tourist website. FLORENCE/FIRENZE If you are in Florence (Firenze in Italian) try CitySeightseeing Firenze, a tour bus that you can hop on and hop off . In operation 7 days a week, see more in less time, listen to a guide in your own language. www.city-sightseeing.it. www.firenze.city-sightseeing.it. ROME Personalized walking, biking, taxi or scooter tours by a woman who has lived her entire life in Rome. A Friend In Rome. If you are interested in art or architecture, Il Duomo in Florence and Vatican City (in Rome of course) are not to be missed. I'd also check out the Boboli Gardens and the Rucellai Palace (a photographic museum) in Florence. By Michelle, Seattle, Washington. In Rome, don't of course forget the Colosseum (and the often overlooked, but nevertheless excellent, Roman Forum just next to it) and the Trevi Fountain. By Heidi, Munich, Germany. Make reservations for the museums in Florence to avoid the lines. Your hotel should offer to do this for you. The Borghese Gallery in Rome (reservations required) is an amazing private museum. It's not as overwhelming as the Vatican Museum and because admission is limited to certain number of people per entry time, much more enjoyable. I have yet to meet anyone that was disappointed in the Borghese Gallery. By Melissa, Toronto, Canada. In Rome, I'd also recommend the MUSEI CAPITOLINI, in Campidoglio: roman statues, pinacoteque, and the statue of Marco Aurelio. Take a tour in Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps), don't forget to leave a coin in Fontana di Trevi and see the Quirinale, the residence of the Italian President. By Davina, La Rochelle, France. Have a look at Piazza Navona and Piazza Barberini (if you read Angels and Demons, you should know these places). Of course, don't miss the Vatican (S. Peter Church) and the Vatican Museums. www.reserver.it - Compare price and make your reservation in Italy: bed and breakfast and hotels in Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice, Ischia. www.accommodationz.com - Looking for an hotel in Europe? Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, and much more! By Wilma, Glasgow, Scotland. When you visit the Trevi Fountain you have to throw a coin over your shoulder - this will ensure you will one day return to Rome. I can't remember the rest of the tradition, but I think it goes something like if you throw 2 coins over you will fall in love with an Italian, and 3 coins you will marry an Italian? Someone correct me if they know the correct version! Try to visit first things in the morning, ideally not during high season - it will be absolutely swarming with tourists, getting photos is tricky. By Suzanne in Netherlands. Rome is on my must visit list for this year. Jet2.com are flying their from April I think from Leeds and Bradford. By Bernice in York, England. Generally speaking, accommodation is expensive in Rome. My wife and I rented an apartment for a month on Via Dei Serpenti right next to the coliseum. Awesome street but we checked the hotels on it out of curiosity and they were pricey. This was in September 2001. By David, Southampton, England. |
