• Smart Car in Rome, Italy

  • From: kabell4
  • Description:

    We had just arrived at our rental in Rome, Italy.  The villa had been split into two parts - the owners lived in one part, and the other part was the rental.  I had never seen a Smart Car before.  I thought it was funny how the Smart Car fit completely within the archway of the villa, with room to spare.  It really illustrated just how different Italy is from the United States.  In the U.S., we have wide open spaces, wide freeways, and wide cars.  Italy was quite different from that, with its narrow streets and tiny cars.  This shows why people should travel - to get a sense that not every place is the same as what you know, experience every day, and just take for granted that everyone lives the same way as you do.  This villa was across the street from the Circus Maximus and the Palatine Hill.  I loved to sit relaxing on the terrace enjoying the view of the Palatine Hill ruins.  I took the photo on September 19, 2004 during our three week dream trip to Italy.

• Spanish Steps

  • From: allaffordtravel
  • Description:

    The Spanish Steps, or in Italian, Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti, start at the Piazza di Spagna and climb to the Trinita dei Monti church. These steps have been the subject of countless photographs, and travel posters. Conceived as a means to climb from the plaza to the church, these steps have become synonymous with Rome. The plaza contains the fabulous Barcaccia Fountain.

     

    Visit the plaza, visit the steps, visit the church, and spend some time people watching. If you are fortunate enough to visit while the steps are decked out with flowers, you will truly see an incredible sight.

• Trevi Fountain

  • From: allaffordtravel
  • Description:

    The Fontana di Trevi or Trevi Fountain is the center piece to of the small Trevi square, at the intersection of Via del Lavatore and Via della Stamparia. We “stumbled” on the fountain on our walk from the Piazza Barberini and its famed Fontana del Tritone. This is the joy of Rome. Walking down side streets and exploring the ancient city; especially if it’s your first time in the city.

    Because of it fame and beauty, this small square can be jammed packed with tourists. But don’t let that stop you from going. Squeeze in on the steps and spend time gazing at a true wonder. Enjoy watching the people too. The fountain area draws a diverse crowd of people.

    Before you leave you must perform one ritual. With you back to the fountain, toss a coin over your shoulder. According to legend, this assures your return to Rome. We have been back five times.

• Begger Woman in Rome

  • From: SusanHalay
  • Description:

    I quickly took out my wallet to help this poor, old woman until I was told that she was a perfectly healthy young person playing on the tourist's hearts. We later saw two more just like her! I still gave her a Euro for the great acting job.
