Palatine Hill

posted by mhouston on 26 October 2010 at 11:57

No self-respecting history buff should ignore this location. In myth, the place where Romulus and Remus were raised by a wolf, it subsequently became ancient Rome's prime real estate and the ruins of many palaces and baths dot the hillside. Your ticket to Palatine Hill also gets you in to the Colliseum.

Villa Borghese

posted by dwilo on 26 October 2010 at 11:49

The Villa Borghese is a really grand old palace, and one of the finest in Rome. There is a great collection of classical and renaissance art here but the real highlight for me were the Borghese Gardens. Especially after a long day in the heat and bustle of a day in Rome, a rowing boat on the swan lake was a very enticing prospect.

Piazza del Popolo

posted by rullman on 26 October 2010 at 11:39

This is the place where that great Italian pass time of idling away most of the late afternoon and evening in town squares first made sense to me. The sunset on the Rameses II Obelisk is really beautiful as are the various churches dotted around the square. There are also usually musicians here in the summer which adds to the whole experience.

Pioneer Gifts

posted by fisaman on 26 October 2010 at 11:29

The neon cowboy outside Pioneer Gifts is fairly iconic, which is strange because this is just a gift shop. A massive, tacky gift shop! That said, you'll find pretty much any souvenir you might want here. Be sure to check it out.

M&M World

posted by cburney on 26 October 2010 at 11:25

This has to be seen to be believed! A four storey department store devoted entirely to M&Ms. I would challenge anyone not to feel nauseous by the time they leave. They don't just sell the sweets, they sell pretty much everything you could want, with an M&M logo printed on it. This really is an exercise in stretching a concept to its breaking point. Like so much of Vegas, its worth a visit if only for the bizarreness of the whole thing.
