Not too far away from the Trevi Fountain is That's Amore, one of the best restaurants in all of Rome, or at least the old town. Good [[pizza]] (it's even [[heart]]-shaped), good [[pasta]], what else would you want? | Not too far away from the Trevi Fountain is That's Amore, one of the best restaurants in all of Rome, or at least the old town.

Inspired by The Travel Atlas from [[Lonely Planet]]: | |||
#Wake up in MyApARTsuite Colosseo, where [[User:SGuySMW|I]] stayed when I was in Rome and did as the Romans do. The Colosseum is a few blocks away. After viewing this massive arena, mingle among the ruins of [[Palatine Hill]] and the Forum. Lunch is at Taverna Romana. Afterwards, it's only an 11 minute walk to Piazza del Campidoglio and the Capitoline Museums. Then, from the monument dedicated to [[King Vittorio Emanuele II]], go further downtown into the Pantheon and [[Piazza Navona]], where Camillo dal 1890 awaits you for dinner with a view of the plaza. If you'd like, you can stay a little longer at Navona for a drink of wine. | |||
#Today starts with a tour of the Vatican. You can tour the museum, gaze at the [[Sistine Chapel]]'s ceiling, and/or view the lay of the land from the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica. Lunch is right along the border at Pastasciutta. After that, it's time for a taste of the [[Rome Metro]]! Hop aboard a train on Line A to Piazza di Spagna and chill on the Spanish Steps. After passing the Trevi Fountain, you'll want to catch the sunset at Piazza del Quirinale near the presidential palace. After strolling through the markets along Campo de' Fiori, dinner is at Mercato Hostaria Roma. | |||
#First, taxi to the Galleria Borghese where you'll find more art and the ancient classics from the [[Renaissance|rebirth]]. After that feel free to stroll around Villa Borghese. For a change, visit the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea for a look at contemporary art. Lunch is at the adjacent Caffè delle Arti. Next, walk to the Basilica Parrocchiale Santa Maria del Popolo and admire the mosaic of religious art. If shopping is your thing, look at the boutiques of the Via del Corso and search for the clothing you'd like. Finish your Roman adventure off at Trastevere, an intimate, originally working class neighbourhood on the other side of the Tiber. Dinner is at Tonnarello | Paglia; surprisingly for a restaurant, it has over 81,000 reviews on Google. | |||
