By Debra Moore


So many things happen in Rome. So many quotes come from this ancient city. It is not only the buildings and the sculptures that you can learn from. It is also the culture that will tell you so much more about the city. Not only are there fine restaurants to go to at night, but there are fun daytime things to do in Rome as well.

People don't usually come back from a city like this feeling disappointed. Usually they feel they wished they had a longer time to explore the surrounding area. The Romans will always welcome you into a little bistro where you will be able to indulge in some of the best pizza. This is where it all started and you will be able to understand why the food is so good.

Don't forget your espresso as you take a break from your shopping. You may have had plenty of espressos at home. However, you have to realise that this is where the real espresso comes from. Just like this this is where gelato and pizza come from. There are many coffee shops that you can relax at. The most famous of them, being Galleria Alberto Sordi.

Apart from espresso, there is also a range of other coffees available. Start with a cappuccino or a macchiato. You may find that this is completely different from what you are used to. It is always a good idea to experiment with the foods and the drinks from another country. This is how you learn more about the place as well as the people.

The Colosseum is another site that you can't miss out on. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There are even separate tours that are arranged for kids. They will have the chance to experience life as a Roman back in these times. There are props available for along with costumes so they can pretend that they are a gladiator.

The Trevi Fountain is a must see. This isn't any old fountain. This is a special place where you will make a wish after throwing your coin in one of the most exquisite fountains. It has been around since the beginning of time. Be warned that it gets very crowded so you have to go early. The design is typically Baroque in nature and definitely something to be appreciated. Word says that if your wish comes true, you will find yourself back in Rome.

The Piazza Navona is a great spot for when you just need to take a break and simply relax before heading off to your next tour. This is a square with restaurants and shops that are artistically displayed. You can sit down somewhere and watch the crowds go by. You can also watch some of the entertainment which does happen every so often.

A lot of people just go to Rome in order to take a trip to the Vatican. There is a huge amount of history behind this place. It is definitely entertaining and you will come back feeling inspired. A lot of people enjoy going to one of the services where the Pope will address something. Easter Sunday is a time where Rome is completely packed with Catholics ready for the message.
