Rome (2006)

Sleep
Pop Inn Hostel - I suppose this hostel was convenient since it was near the Termini train station, but it was quite expensive. Not recommended. Although, I do have the fond memory of watching Rihanna's Umbrella video on repeat while we waiting for our room keys.

Eat
You can't go wrong with food in Rome. It really is as good as they say it is. On every corner you'll find a hole-in-the-wall with delicious pizza and panini, not to mention the gelaterias on every block- every flavor of gelato you can imagine!

The Trastevere neighborhood is incredibly charming. We liked Osteria da Lucia there. (Via del Mattinato 2)

Do
The Colosseum and Forum - Definitely a highlight of Rome. The Colosseum is impressive in its sheer magnitude, but the Forum is almost more impressive in its vast expanse. While walking among the Forum's ruins, it is easy to imagine the Rome of Julius Caesar.

The Vatican - The Vatican is certainly a must-see while in Rome. The opulence is a bit overwhelming, but the appeal extends beyond the Catholic community.
