Don't forget to see the pope

Wonderful place

 

Very friendly people

 

Tres Ai Scalini; discovered on the last night, then up to the Charity Cafe for a bit of Jazz

 

Best jazz, though, at Gregory's

Me and my brother went in Jan for the Roma v AC Milan game.

 

There was a sign near the Collesium for an Irish bar a short walk away- Scholars Lounge. Pretty decent, loads of screens showing lots of foreign footy, NFL and a big room that became a kareoke room late at night.

 

I've just looked it up- it was just off the Piazza Venezia on Via del Plebiscito

 

Hope that helps

Thanks????

Don't forget to see the pope

And listen to what he says

And listen to what he says

Why? What does he say?

Why? What does he say?

I'm not sure - I had my headphones in. Duck cloth or something?

Love the place, completely fallen in love with it.

 

 

Get an offline Rome map on your phone, it is brilliant.

Take some proper walking shoe's.

Don't go to restaurants that have menu's in 5 languages, places with hardly a sign outside will be the most authentic scran.

The wine is just unreal, and ALWAYS ask for the local, they will give you a choice of 2 or 3.

Roman Forum is brilliant, you need at least half a day for this, its better than the colosseum.

I'm going for the 4th time at the end of the month, as my girlfriend currently lives there, so much to see and do in Rome.

Scholars lounge is probably the best pub for a drink and pub grub. The area around Campo fi Fiori is good for authentic food, but it's best just wandering around and trying anywhere off the beaten track.

Tips for the trains to and from either airport? Might actually be flying into one and out of the other as it goes. Ryanair/Vuelling.

So go to Rome find an Irish bar, watch football and do the Karaoke ?

£40 taxi each way, in and out PDQ.

I used terravision coach company, cheap as chips and a piece of piss

haha 2 of these were started by Worthy10 as well!

 

haha 

 

attention seeking

 

or he had a shit time

 

or had that a good a time, he doesn't remember

Oh, and see if it's possible, when leaving Rome, not to sing Arriverderci, Roma

when I went to Rome, literally (and I hate the misuse of that word) the first thing audible I heard in Italian was a bloke, whilst moaning to some women, saying "mamma mia" whilst woppily waving his hands in her face

ciampino is walk out and jump on the bus, bout 5 euros each

 

very regular

 

fiuminicio, theres fast train but taxi to the airport is a capped fare

 

was 40 euros last time i went

Can highly recommend this place to eat - www.armandoalpantheon.it/en  was outstanding, family run.  About £120 for 2 with a good bottle of red.

 

 

prefer to eat outside and take it all in

 

perhaps surprisingly, at least a couple of places on the pantheon sq are very good

Jump a taxi fixed fair and its quicker, Rome is ace, fallen in love with it.

Gone with your advice pal, thanks. €4 each from Ciampino to Rome. And same again from Rome to Fiumicino. 

Opted to pay £95 more to fly back with Vueling - gives us an extra 6 hours in Rome.

Only going cos I managed to convince her not to fly Premium to Mexico later in the year - the saving has paid for this trip! Bonus!!
