Rome (Italy)

After almost a month of travelling, last Eurotour stop: Rome!  The place was scorching hot!  Having just 3 days to visit the place, we started right away.  Rome is just ridiculously packed with old structures, and different things to see.  If you go to Rome, the must-sees include: the Pantheon, the Roman Forum & Colosseum (you can buy a ticket that will get you access to both, also plan on being there at least half a day - its huge!), the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and of course, the Vatican.

Of course the main thing to see at the Vatican is the St. Peter's Basilica - it's a pretty nice basilica to go visit, and it'll require at least a couple hours.  Afterwards, you can visit the Vatican Museums - they are ridiculously huge, and I personally found them a little too long.  There are sections more interesting than others, so if you're stuck on time - you may want to pick what you want to see.

When going to Rome, you also want to be careful as to where you eat and go out.  There are a lot of people trying to scam tourists - make sure you go to offices to buy tickets, or known agencies, even if it means paying a little extra.  Eating at restaurants can become a little more expensive than other places - they often add extra charges for seating down, cutlery, ....  however if you leave the really touristy places, you can easily avoid these charges.

Like almost every other place we've visited during our Eurotrip, Rome was a lot of walking around - in the burning sun!  After a month of traveling, mom & dad headed home, and I left to go back to Spain.
