[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have not read through all the responses, but we were in Rome last summer.

Here's what I would recommend for two days, if you don't particularly care about checking off a bucket list of tourist attractions.

Day 1 -- take transit from your hotel in the AM and stop by the Trevi fountain first thing. Wander in the general direction of the Pantheon. Find a cafe and sit down for a cafe and maybe a pastry. The Pantheon is on a piazza where you can sit and people-watch, and if you feel like it, you can line up to get a ticket to go inside. Unlike some of the other attractions e.g. the Coliseum and the Vatican, the Pantheon is reasonably small. You can see it in 45 minutes. We had a small guided tour and I recommend that -- it gave us some important context.

Next, walk over to the Campo de Fiori market. Find some place to stop for a pizza or a sandwich or some fried things for lunch. Wander around the market for a bit. Grab a cocktail or a coffee and then head back to your hotel and rest before dinner.

For dinner, head over to Trastevere and walk around until you find a place you like. Eat. Have ice-cream. Walk some more, maybe through Tiber Island.

Day 2 -- get up, go stroll through Monti and find somewhere for breakfast. Keep walking over to the Coliseum. Walk around and look at it from the outside. Grab a coffee. Get on a bus and go past the Circus Maximus to Testaccio. Find some place for lunch. Wander a bit more. Pick somewhere you haven't been yet for dinner.
