What More Can Be Said Of Rome?

What is there to be said about the eternal city that hasn't already been said in a million tourist guides and Internet travel sites?
Whether it's the eerie atmosphere of the Colosseum, the ancient, imperial ambiance of the Forum, the amazing range of ice cream colors and flavors at one of the Gelaterias, the death-defying adventure of crossing a road, the romantic memories evoked as you throw coins into the Trevi fountain, or the circle of blue sky through the roof of the Pantheon; Rome informs you at every turn that you are visiting a very special place. For during those moments, the tourist feels that all the legends were somehow true and that when Rome falls the world will fall with it.
For many people, Rome is the world's most fascinating city and it would be possible to spend weeks there without seeing more than a small part of its wealth of intriguing treasures. Yet most people only have a few days to pack in as much of the major attractions as they can, before returning home exhausted. Our best travel tip for Rome is to avoid being over ambitious. Take it easy and don't try to pack too much into a short trip.
