Rome is the capital city of Italy. It's a cosmopolitan place, that has been a bustling metropolis for thousands of years. Look around the city, and you'll see traces of different periods, from the ancient Roman empire, through the Italian Renaissance, to modern times.
With its Mediterranean climate, spring and autumn days are warm, and in the heat of summer you can expect temperatures in the eighties. If you visit in the winter, be sure to take warm things with you. Last time I visited Rome in the winter, the first day found me shopping for a hat and leather gloves!
So what to do when you're in Rome? Here are some of my favorites.

On some of the ancient buildings/columns you can see where the Romans altered the inscriptions on them by covering the names over when the person was 'no longer in favour'.
