Schedule (Rome)

Please help to reschedule… The calendar is ‘alive’.

Places

I created a Map (Overview) with the most important places.

Spanish Steps (Maps) – Probably the most crowded place for tourists – next to the Trevi Fountain. Very famous from movies, today a place of many street performers, jugglers and pickpockets.

Callisto catacomps (Maps)

Piazza de la Republica (Maps)

Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano (Maps) – what shall I say: Better not miss it, read Wikipedia

Palazzo Barberini great museum with very special Exhibitions, Full Ticket 25€, but I guess we’ll run out of time for that, unfortunally.

Ostia Antica – Harbour of rome (south/west). Very intersting “old stones” (as my auntie used to say), some driving time (3/4 h by car) away from rome. Run out of time, unless somebody really likes to. Catch up in Naples.
