I hope your adult child has heard of the Coliseum.

You sound quite unpleasant.

The point of that statement was that she did not seem to have more of a basis for raising that option.

Do you think posters like you add anything of value to the community?

I like to think of myself as quite unpleasant so I’m glad that was correctly conveyed in my message.

It’s just confusing for me that an adult child would only have such basic rudimentary knowledge or curiosity about one of the world’s most well known cities, and that OP didn’t try to suss out more info. There’s plenty to do in Rome for a few days, I think it would be a very worthwhile stop. You have the time.

Uh, I hope you're kidding. I think that church you can't seem to recall the name of is called St. Peter's.

No, pretty sure it's this.

DC is overpopulated by people who are frequently wrong but rarely in doubt.

It would be wonderful if this taught the know-it-all to tone down his superiority complex.

Consider humility PP- it has its place.

I'm prob in the minority but no, I wouldn't priories Rome other than the colosseum and if I'm being brutally honest, it was more disappointing as I had higher hopes and yes I did the underground tour of it in addition to the best tour I could find for the top level.

I've been to other places I loved more but I do agree that any history buff would want to see. For me, Venice is the can't miss opportunity.

Rome is like Athens - if you're limited on time, you hit the big spots in 1-2 days max and move forward from there. The unfortunate thing for anyone is there's l mites time to really soak anything up when traveling..

As much as I love experiencing new things, part of going on holiday is the pleasure of just sitting and enjoying the scenery so to speak from that perspective I don't want to tour every minute. It rather relax and indulge in me time hahaha.

Rome is like any other big city and I agree that if you go and stay a day, other sights are as meaningful. There are few big cities in this world I find utterly thrilling but Rome is not one of them as cool as it is. The real jewels aren't the huge cities but the kinda big cities.

Fly into Rome and spend a few days staying in a central part of the city. It's an amazing place.

Depends where you are in the city. Yes parts of it feel just like any big city.

You smug idiots are do out of line. I have been ALL over the world. Large world capitals—with the exception of Africa and Asia—share a certain homogeneity. Many of us prefer smaller towns, which are often more true to a country’s traditions and roots.

That is a valid perspective. And you are an insufferable snob.
