flew with Ryanair Ciampino airport , located a half hour bus ride from downtown Rome , although this varies a lot of traffic. The ticket costs 3.90 euros and the bus drops you at the train station Termini near where we had booked a room in the hostel Freedom Traveller. Double with shared bathroom and breakfast cost us 75 euros, too expensive for the quality of the establishment, but is well located. In low season, November to February, at half the price.
The attractions of Rome, the eternal city, are endless and you can safely spend a week or ten days kicking its cobbled streets relentlessly. Here is a list of some interesting places:
Roman Ruins: Imperial Forum, Colosseum, Baths of Caracalla, Christian Catacombs, Pantheon, Theatre of Marcellus, Ara Pacis ... the list would never end.
Iglesias: Vatican, Santa Maria Maggiore, Santa Maria in Trastevere, San Clemente, San Giovanni, and Sant Andrea al Quirinale is the prettiest.
Museums: The Capitoline, filled with treasures of the Roman Empire and the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel impressive, are the largest in the world. Borghese Gallery exhibits works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Bernini, among others.
Parks: The Villa Borghese, which houses the Gallery of the same name, offers stunning views of Rome. The Via Appia Antica, which takes you to the catacombs, is ideal for cycling on and off the bustle of the city.
Best of Rome is the city itself is a huge outdoor museum . In every corner you can find a Roman ruin , a Renaissance palace or a fantastic Romanesque church. The cobblestone streets of historic downtown are ideal for getting lost, but they are always packed with tourists. Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain , Plaza of Spain, Campo de Fiori, Piazza del Campidoglio or Piazza del Popolo are magical places of Rome.
's also nice to stroll along the banks of Tiber and enjoy its beautiful bridges, the strength of the Castel Sant Angelo and the Tiber Island . Across the river rises the neighborhood of Trastevere , one of the most typical of Rome, with its narrow streets, hundreds of traditional pizzerias and many bars.
flew back to Spain with Easyjet from Fiumicino airport the principial of Rome. The train from Termini takes half an hour and costs 8 euros in second class (which is almost always sold out) and 14 euros in first.
