Returned last weekend from a trip to Rome. I can't think of a better place. Actually, I can (one without scorching Italian sun, noisy scooters, and horrendous drivers), but that place wouldn't have that character of Rome. I had read somewhere that in the classic film Roman Holiday, there are three main characters: Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn), and the city of Rome itself. Nothing is truer...Rome has a character that cannot be ignored. When you go on a trip there, the city refuses to be a mere backdrop to your vacation.
I spent the first day there just wandering and seeing the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, a health care protest, inside of many little Roman shops, and the Trevi fountain. It is a great place to get lost.
