Roaming Around Rome

on Tuesday, April 23, 2013

Roaming, travelling, visiting and tasting cultures, traditions & living patterns all over the world are all pleasant rewards that Almighty God has given to humans. The knowledge of human will never be completed if one never experienced other cultures and never saw the better practices in foreign countries. Travelling can enrich one’s wisdom, but unfortunately things are being tougher day by day to move around from one place to another. Well, if a list can be made on the most popular and cherished travel destination people always want to go, Rome can never ever be overlooked.

Rome is a place where history and present life run together side by side. If you are planning to step into Rome, then I must say, make the mental preparation to experience a live, biggest and moving museum. Yeah, you have read it right. Rome itself is nothing less than a museum! The beauty of the city will amaze you, surprise you, and turn you on! So why you are waiting? Make the plan of your next summer getaway to Rome and experience the most pictorial cities of the world. Never miss The Vatican, St Peter’s Square, Trevi Fountain and most importantly Colosseum, whenever you go there. It might be a business tour or a honeymoon, never miss this golden opportunity of sightseeing in Rome.

Transportation: Transportation is very important to get into the city and to move around so you should have an idea, what option you have at hand, and which one to choose. First, there are two international airports which are ready to welcome you. One is Leonardo DA Vinci/Fiumicino Int’l Airport and the other is Ciampino International Airport. From the former one, you will get one of the available trains to enter the central city. Among them, you can choose Terravision train which is the cheapest and easiest way to enter from this airport to the city.

If your holiday duration is 3 days to more, be clever to buy the Roma pass. For 30 euro, you will get free entries to many museums and all public transportation and handsome discounts on theaters and programs. Make sure about its expire date and enjoy.

Other than these, you can use taxis, buses, bicycles but never miss walking around the eternal city.

Eat & Rest: Ah, to find out a good food court, it would be intelligent to search on the residential areas, skipping the tourist locations. It is easy because, Rome is loaded with good restaurants. You can go for Pizzas, Ice creams, there is also foods for vegetarians in multiple buffet restaurants. Overall the prices are like 2 euros per pizza slice and around 20 euros for one main course at lunch or dinner. About 1 euro for water can be saved if you choose designed water fountains for drinking water. Don’t get afraid, they are so fresh and safe to drink.

It is good to search for hotels in the territory of Rome, like modern Rome, old, north, south etc. One thing everyone should know is that if you choose a hotel up to 3 star, you need to pay a tax of 2 euros per night and for 5-7 star hotels you will be charged a tax of 3 euros.

See and Shop: It is totally impossible to describe the millions of places to visit. I am briefly enlisting below some which are worth to see:

Museums: To know the development of any place from the past to the present, museums are the most important. Give a visit to Galleria Borghese, Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Capitolline Museums, the Galleria d’Arte Antica are just a few of thousands.

Shopping is an unavoidable part of travelling. In Rome, most affordable clothes and accessories are available mainly in Via Del Corso, Via Condotti, Pantheon, and Campo de’ Fiori. For a big shopping mall, Euroma2 is the best one with about 230 shops. It is obvious that you are going to love shopping here.

Rome, the largest and capital city of Italy, is an ancient city of the Roman empire, symbol of power, witness of many cultures and religion throughout its 2500 years of perseverance. A vacation to this city will be the treasure of your life.
