The Roman Curia is composed of the many different offices of the Vatican that actually run the Church. All of these offices are closed to the public and are scattered through the Vatican City, Via della Conciliazione, and Trastevere. While you may not be able to visit their offices, still keep the many religious, priests, bishops, and staff in your... More

We went on a Mediterannean cruise two years ago and had the time of our life. After an exhausting day in Florence, which is pretty easy to get around, we ended up meeting a small tour company (Visit Roma Tours) on the train back to the ship. It was our lucky day. The owner had us meet him at the... More

Do not waste your money with a tour service for tickets to the weekly audience with the Pope. The tickets are free.Just Goole: The Church of Santa Susanna. You can reserve tickets,, but you must pick them up on Tuesday prior to the following Wednesday audience. If you hang around the courtyard outside St Peter's, there are many tour guides... More

It's marvelous, just marvelous. I only have one advice: order your tickets in advance, you can do it by the internet. Otherwise you have to queue up, and I can assure you it takes hours waiting and waiting, even if you arrive before opening time. With a preordered ticket it just takes 10 minutes to go in. We only ordered... More

Everybody who saw Rome know that he or she will want to return there… Modern Rome is lively city and has some excellent restaurants and nightlife. This is place incomparable to any other city on the planet. When you see The Mausoleum, The Colosseum and The Pantheon, you should also visit Vatican! Italian summer rain in this photo gallery is...

The original Senate of Rome in the Forum. Now showing exhibits on the central floor ( Terracotta Warriors from China) you can walk on the floors of history where wars,pacts and peaces were decided. My favourite building in the Forum. More

No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Vatican and it's museums. First of all, I highly suggest that you purchase tickets to the museum online before arriving to your destination. You will have several choices (with or without guides). You will then avoid long lines to get into the museums. Tour guides are available in many... More
