[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way would I miss out on Rome for a first visit to Italy if you are interested in historical sites. Easter week is a vacation week for Italians so things will be crowded. It is worth checking schedules ahead of time. They may differ from other times of the years. There are also big sites where you can book a tour to jump the line (coliseum and vatican come to mind).[/quote] To add to this PP’d advice: If you go during Holy Week, book your tickets to various sites well in advance. The availability that week can be non-existent. Also, be keenly aware of St. Peter’s schedule: there are some seemingly random closings that pop up during that week. If you want to see more of Italy than Rome proper, Orvieto is a beautiful Umbrian town, easily accessible by train from Rome. Ostia Antica is the site of the ancient port, and is also easily accessible by train (not crowded, very peaceful). [/quote] Thank you so much -OP[/quote]
