Rome is a popular travel destination in Italy full of attractions. Today's Rome, Roma, is a vibrant and lively city with reminders of its
past everywhere. In Rome you will encounter the glories of Ancient Rome, medieval and Renaissance buildings and fountains, and
great museums. Rome boasts many fine restaurants and cafes, good nightlife, and lively streets and squares. It's a living museum of
history from Roman times to present.
Although Rome is a huge city, its historic center is small, making it easy to walk.
Prior to the first full day you will check into your hotel. Here are four recommended hotels in which I have stayed:
Daphne Inn - Small, personal bed and breakfast with 2 central locations, especially good for first time visitors. They even give you a
cell phone so you can call them if you have questions or need help.
Hotel des Artistes - hotel and dorm rooms near the train station.
Hotel Residenza in Farnese - Quiet, small 4-star hotel in a former monastery in a great location off Piazza Farnese near Campo dei
Fiori.

Palazzo al Velabro - short-term apartments, good for families
More Rome Lodging Recommendations
After checking in, take some time to wander around the neighborhood near your hotel. If you want to see some of Rome, take public
bus number 110 (from the train station or ask your hotel for the closest stop). Riding on this bus is an inexpensive way to get a good
overview of Rome.
Tip: Buy the Rome Transportation Map at a newsstand or tourist shop. I've found it to be the best map and if you want to take a bus
or the metro, it will be very useful. You might also want to buy a Rome Pass or Discount Card to use on transportation and
admissions.

Today we visit the Ancient Appian Way, catacombs, and Piazza Navona with optional shopping.

Tip: You can buy bus tickets at a newstand or tabacchi. Validate them in the little machine when you board the bus. If you say
catacombs, someone will tell you when to get off.
It's fun to try a restaurant you've discovered on your own and after three days of walking around Rome, you've probably found
something you'd like to try.
