When in Rome, Live As the Romans Do
The greatest way to take in the sights and sounds of the eternal city is by foot. A long walk through the historic city's winding streets will lead you to some of the most culturally and historically significant buildings and sites in existence today.
Colosseum. This is the venue where gladiators performed public spectacles, mock sea battles, executions and battle reenactments. You can feel its grisly history in its underground passages as you walk among the statues and inscriptions. Though an earthquake greatly damaged it in the 1300s, its historic chambers remain open to the public.
Forum. Near the Colosseum on Capitoline Hill, the Roman Forum served as the central meeting place. Its basilicas were constructed during the Imperial period and military processions were held here for centuries.
Pantheon. The large granite, Corinthian columns of the Pantheon are some of the best preserved of all ancient Roman structures. The Pantheon has had many identities but now serves as a tomb for famous composers, painters and architects.

Travel Tips
-
Order Coffee Like an Italian
Life, love and the pursuit of a hot coffee. Belly up to the (espresso) bar and request, "un caffe" at any time of day. If you don't want to out yourself as an American, don't order a cappuccino after 11 a.m., as locals treat it as an early morning treat.
-
Roma to Firenze
Should your travels find you in Rome for more than a weekend, Florence is a worthy day trip by train. The high-speed train can get you there in an hour and a half and the regional train takes a little more than three hours.
-
The Roma Pass
A cost-efficient way to see the historic spoils of the eternal city is with the Roma Card and Omnia Vatican Card. This card serves as a ticket to multiple museums and sites and is valid for a few consecutive days.

Forecasting Your Rome Vacation
Rome's pleasant climate is heavily influenced by its Mediterranean location. The city can be very warm during the summer, when temperatures creep into the upper 80s and low 90s. Winter is rainy but overall quite mild - temperatures hover in the upper 30s and snowfall is rare. The Mediterranean influence is, of course, unpredictable, so be prepared for sudden changes.
