The buildings in the city of Rome are millennial and each one is more impressive than the other. The great columns and arches are striking features of the Roman empire and are stamped everywhere. The first thing to do when arriving in Rome is to buy the Roma Pass.
With this card you can use for up to 3 days in all kind of transportation, besides giving you free admission to the first two museums or archeological sites you visit, discount on various tourist activities and free admission to a wide range of museums in Rome.
To get it, just go to one of the 13 information centers around the city and pay 36 euros for the 3-day Rome Pass, or 28 euros for the 48-hour Rome Pass, which only serves for two days.
Already with your Roma Pass kit that comes with the card, a map of the city and a guide of use, make the desired itinerary. Disregarding St. Peter’s Basilica which is in the Vatican, Colosseum is the second most important attraction in Rome. Use your Roma Pass to avoid facing the huge line of the monument. On the way out, take a picture of Constantino.
After that, you can go down to Circo Massimo (an open field where great events took place in the Roman period) and soon after the famous Bocca de la Verittá. Legend tell that if you lie, the sculpture bites your hand.
Going north, you will pass by the Campidoglio, the Capitolini Museum, which is a strictly museum of sculptures, the Roman Forum and the Munumento to Vittorio Emanuele, which has a lookout, paid separately.
From here, you can walk to three important tourist sites, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. From this last square is very close to walk to the Castle of S. Angelo and soon after the Vatican, which I will comment on in another article.
The visit to Rome can not be left out of your route!
