Fontana di Trevi
Jan 21, 2010 by Pearl from Honolulu
Overall Rating: 6

• It is lovely.
• So crowded, we couldn't get very close to it.

“Go very early if you want to get close to the fountain. The crowds are huge the later in the day it gets.”

Quartiere Coppedé

Overall Rating: 8

• All the buildings circle the Frog Fountain.
• You need to inquire carefully about what bus to take!

“An absolutely fascinating little neighborhood! Coppede was given free rein to design this area, and from the Frog Fountain down to the massive light hanging under a road-spanning bridge, it is the product of his imagination. Art Deco and Art Nouveau touches everywhere. I was allowed into 2 buildings to admire the lobbies - murals, fabulous lighting fixtures. Made me wonder what the apartments themselves might look like. I spent about 3 hours admiring and taking photos (with my not-so-hot camera) of a small area that is off the beaten tourist path (and not too far from some equally interesting Catacombs)! For those who have done the Trevi, the Forum, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and St. Peter's - a semi-undiscovered gem to take home in one's camera or one's mind to trot out for acquaintances who think they have seen everything Rome has to offer. For lovers of architecture.”

Museo delle Cere
May 10, 2009 by Ricardo from Belo Horizonte
Overall Rating: 3

• A bit of history.
• Sleeping beauty.

“This museum was created on the 50s and looks like it hasn't been updated since. The wax figures were not nearly as good as Madame Tussuad's and some were downright creepy.”

Colosseum

• None.
• Extremely unhelpful customer service.

“NA.”

Colosseum
Aug 13, 2008 by Amie from Nottibgham
Overall Rating: 10

• The sheer scale of the structure.
• Can get a little crowded in Summer.

“The Colosseum is quite possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The first part of ancient Rome we saw on our arrival in Rome and made a point of walking past it every day at different times for a truly magnificent view of the structure. Light up at night and well worth the walk out of town (20minutes maximum) just for the holiday snaps. Also recommend a trip inside but go either first thing or later in the day as it gets extremely hot during the summer months. And of course no air con! NB - There are dozens of tour guides outside offering a tour of the colloseum but most will only tell you what it says in the guide book anyway. If you really want to take a tour, my advice would be to use context travel who offer tours by historians and archaeologists.”
