    For food, any cafe or restaurant that is at least two streets back from the nearest tourist attraction! I'll find the name of this amazing pizza place we went to. It's basic but incredibly good and surprisingly cheap.

    There is so much to see. Coliseum is amazing, the old Forum, Pantheon is a must and when I was there I went to see Roma v Juve too :) left the girls in a bar! So much to see.

    Thanx. Is the Vatican worth going to? Or is it boring?

    Vatican is really good. I went there and I really enjoyed it. The Sistine Chapel is pretty amazing.

    I went to the Vatican in about 2007 and saw the previous Pope!

    I saw the Pope go past me when I was stuck in traffic in London in his vehicle! (In 2010)

    The Trevi Fountain would be a romantic place to propose.

    Definitely worth a look, though all that gold, treasure and artefacts from around the world may make you ask some questions...

    For some reason, I like to imagine the Pope just driving past you in the Popemobile. Or doing a three-point turn, or something.

    Yep, same thing there, though I don't think it is the home of a religious group (although that doesn't make it any less wrong)

    I remember it well. The traffic was stopped by the police and we were wondering what was going on and the Pope went past in his Popemobile!

    Nice. I have got the €90 ticket which lets you in free most places and reduced rate others. Plus free bus and train etc travel to the places.

    Do you know that pizza place yet?

    Messaged my mate's wife at work; she usually replies fairly sharpish.
