Piazza del Popolo

posted by ffranks on 17 March 2011 at 09:14

For all the attention-grabbing bit of Rome, this simple square was my favourite place to just go and hang out with a gelato. You can take a little stroll in the Borghese gardens, or just sit by the obelisk and watch the world go by.

Baths of Carracalla

posted by kwardle on 17 March 2011 at 09:13

Dating back to 217AD, these baths and the bath complex are astonishing! The engineering that went into them is mind-blowing, I can't believe they were so ahead of their time. Just been watching Rome wasn't built in a day and the manpower they must have had is HUGE!

Via delle Terme di Caracalla, it's a bit of a trek but totally worth it

Sistine Chapel

posted by qwatkins on 17 March 2011 at 09:13

What a room! The vatican museums are great all round but the sistene chapel is most definitely the highlight, the ceiling, the last judgment, I really could have sat for hours and hours just finding new things, it's quite busy though.

Colosseum

posted by rkifer on 17 March 2011 at 09:11

Totally iconic and absolutley amazing, the size, the atmosphere, I can't imagine how terrifying it would have been to fight in that arena with all the crowd looking down on you! The best roman place i've ever been to!
