Ciao! Solo trip #2 was to the Eternal City, Rome…and it did not disappoint. Here are the “teas” for visiting Rome:
The most notable landmark in Rome, The Colosseum
Preparing for Rome:
-I booked my room and hotel on Orbitz for $1900. Not bad for a last minute trip, and no one to share the hotel expenses with. My only caution for third-party sites is stick to the same airline or airlines in the same alliance. That way if you miss a connecting flight (if you don’t have a nonstop), they’ll automatically book you on the next flight.
-Do your research. Nothing screams “Pickpocket Me” or “Take advantage of me” more than a confused looking tourist. But don’t fret, you’re more likely to get mugged in America. Useful sources that helped me prepare included Ron in Rome ( www.roninrome.com) and Rick Steves Travel Guide for Rome.
-Where to stay? I enjoyed staying near Termini train station. The only downside is that my hotel was so close that I could hear the rumblings of the train during operating hours.
