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.

Rome is like any other big city….

Yikes! I think this thread has been an excellent example how poorly educated many Americans are.

They’ve been to Epcot - no need to see the rest of the world.

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

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.

This is it! Other PP is a nasty moron, but at least they’re so confident while being so wrong

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

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?
