I'm going to Rome in May for my first time in Europe. We won't likely be able to get out of the city, as it's a work trip (technically) for my travel companion.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for must-see/eat/drink/shop ideas for the time. We are most likely staying near Trastevere. My list so far:
MUST see/do:
- Trevi Fountain
- Colisseum
- Vatican City (and ideally tickets to Necropolis and/or papal audience)
- Capuchin Crypt
- Palazzo Barberini (and gardens/gallery) - http://www.barberinicorsini.org/
Very high-ranking #2 options:
- Spanish Steps
- Ancient Thermal Baths at the Baths of Caracalla
- Galleria Borghese
- Quartiere Coppede
- Roman Forum, Pantheon
- Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere
- Piazza Navona
- Protestant Cemetery
Restaurants:
- Open Colonna - http://antonellocolonna.it/doc/open/open-menu.pdf
- Fatamorgana (gelato) - http://www.gelateriafatamorgana.com/web/index.php?p=2&c=2
- Armando el Pantheon - http://www.armandoalpantheon.it/
- Pepper - http://pepperrestaurant.thefork.rest/en_GB/
