Ancient Rome?...yeah it's just amazing, incredibly...amazing.

@euroschmau Жыл бұрын

The Domus Aurea is so worth seeing, it's almost other worldly. Book ahead because you have to be a part of a guided tour. When she mentions it's an active archaeological site, she means it, you even have to wear construction helmets.

@Romewise Жыл бұрын

Yes, I completely agree - it really does feel other-worldly! That's a great way of describing it. It's one of those sites I can visit several times over because it's never the same visit twice!

@JodyOwen-we6oo Жыл бұрын

Trajans Forum and Ostia Antica have been on my must see list the last 4 visits to Rome. Unfortunately I always end up running out of time before I get to them. Rome is a city a person could spend years exploring and still miss so much.

@LuvBorderCollies Жыл бұрын

In another post I mentioned a week but really ten days or more would be ideal. Even with pre-planning getting to know where sites were, I still got overwhelmed by the scale and the various time periods exposed by the ruins of the Forum. Rome is a place you really must research and make notes as there's too much to memorize. Sort of had the same experience down by Sorrento and Pompeii ruins. Again I'd done research to look for specific sites. But the place is so much bigger than photos/video can show. The "guide" which cost extra was mediocre to be nice. He didn't say anything I didn't know. Again the size can make you feel lost at times. If you're down by Naples/Sorrento do the hike to the top of Mt Vesuvius. There's a parking lot about halfway up, then you hoof it. Great panoramic view!! Told my family if I feel any shaking or odd noise, get out of my way as I'll set a land speed record getting off the mt.

I completely understand! I live here and still have not seen everything. I hope you will come back soon and see the things you are missing.

I hear you! It's hard to know what you must see and then you wonder what you missed. My philosophy about Rome and pretty much anywhere in Italy, is that you just can't see it all, but no matter what you see, it will be amazing! Glad you got to hike to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. See, that is something I haven't done yet. Sounds like an amazing experience!

Can I add the 11th? I sotterranei di Piazza Navona-Stadio di Domiziano (the undergrounds of Piazza Navona), it's not a huge area, but you will see something that even most Romans have never visited (isn't it fun to see a place that also the Romans know very little?), sorry for my English.

We finally visited Rome last May (2022) and we were able to tour the Mausoleum of Augustus. At that time the only way to visit was with their guided tour which was only offered in Italian. I don't speak a word of Italian but it was so high on my priority list that I booked the tickets anyway. Luckily the tour guide took pity on us and the other English speakers in the group and gave the entire tour in both Italian and English. We also visited the Ara Pacis across the street which was another must see on my list. It is so well preserved and you can walk right through it. To be able to stand in the exact same spot where Augustus once stood, absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, they are appreciated and enjoyed more than you know. I would love to see you visit the Villa Jovis on Capri at some point in a future video.

@Romewise Жыл бұрын

That's great that you got to visit the Mausoleum of Augustus. I am confident it will reopen fairly soon, as the super luxury Bulgari hotel is opening there this summer and I am sure they will only open if that site in front of the hotel is in tip top shape and not a construction site! Glad you also visited the Ara Pacis. It's a museum I think many people miss. It's really amazing isn't it? Thanks for your support and kind words. And thanks for your suggestion for me to do a video about the Villa Jovis - I will put it on the list!

My first advice for first time visitors is spend a week in Rome. There is so much to see. So much history to contemplate. I got overwhelmed and somehow missed the Arch of Titus which i wanted to closely photograph. Trajan's column was marvelous. The Vatican is a must see but I'd skip the museum, just my opinion. Don't forget pizza and gelato. Still crave real Italian gelato. Oh, one more thing....we rented an apartment instead of a hotel. Had so much more room than a hotel for less money. Plus we were about 50 meters from the Pantheon. Step out of our 1500s building take a left and a right and WHAM there was this amazing ancient building in front of you.!! I would put Rome as Number 1 on places to re-visit.

@Romewise Жыл бұрын

Absolutely great advice. Yes of course I would always recommend staying more time in Rome although I realize many people don't have the time available. The good news is that no matter how much time you spend here, or how often you return, there is always something new to see! Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

@Romewise Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching my video. Yes, Rome has nearly 1,000 churches. I still have not visited them all although I visit quite a few of them very often. The churches are all over the city. Depending on how much time you have, I'd go neighbourhood by neighbourhood. For example, the Caelian hill has some of the oldest and most beautiful medieval churches in Rome. These include Santi Quattro, Santo Stefano, and San Clemente. But you would need months to really explore all of Rome's churches!

Excellent list, Elyssa. Domus Aurea is amazing. Also, because you prebook and restricted group size, it's good if you don't like crowds and a relief in the summer heat.

Ostia Antica is definitely worth the trip. Definitely recommend the Baths of Diocletian.

Another great video. And for me, very informative. I'm coming to Rome in Mid May and on my list (among other sites) are the Tomb of Hadrian, the Mausoleum of Augustus (with the Altar of Peace) and the Appian Way. I did not know that the Mausoleum of Augustus is closed but I'll still go just to visit the site. Hopefully there will be some access. The Appian Way is a must; just to imagine the ghosts of the Legions marching up and down (Sulla coming up, Yikes!!). I purchased an Underground Tour of the Colosseum which includes (I think) admission to the Palatine Hill and the Forum. I just have to figure out how to get tickets to the SUPER Sites. I know you cover this quite well so I'll review your video about that. Thanks so much.

On the way to or from Ostia Antica, given that the station Basilica San Paolo is a good one in which to change from the metro B to the train line extraurbana FC2 to get there, it is very convenient to include a visit to the very impressive Papal Basilica which is close to the station. By the way, even when going straight to Ostia Antica, I’ve had problems in 2022 with the standard €1.50 timed metro ticket which wouldn’t let me (legally) transfer to the extraurbana and the public transport web-site said that a more expensive 24h ticket was needed to allow that flexibility. Perhaps things have changed before you made this video 9 months ago.

@Romewise 5 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot for letting me know about the ticket issue you had. I'm not sure why you had this problem as I have done it with the standard ticket fairly recently. Also, the ATAC website shows that it costs 1.50€ to get from Rome center to Ostia Antica. If I find out anything has changed, I'll report back here!

Have you talked about the catacumbas?

@Romewise 2 ай бұрын

Yes, briefly. I have a page all about them on my website: www.romewise.com/catacombs-of-rome.html I also have talks about both Necropolis sites at the Vatican in separate videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZtyncifnc2Yd5c.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJOWg5x0mqzTaHU.html It's not that easy to do a video about the catacombs most of the time, you are not allowed to take photos and film inside, but I do have some footage from a visit where I was able to film once. I'll add the topic to my list!

Can you tell me about the Leaning tower of pisa ltaly

@Romewise 8 ай бұрын

Sure - what would you like to know? It's an easy day trip from Florence or Lucca and some say it's not worth the time it takes and other say it is. As an art lover, I believe Pisa is worth visiting as there is a lot more to see than just the tower. But if you have a specific questions, please let me know here in the comments.

When I was in Rome decades ago I stumbled upon a church on the top of a long staircase that was situated right above the Roman Forum. It was very ancient with a dark interior and hardly any frescoes but the view of the Forum from the ballustrade was spectacular. Do you know what church it is because I can’t find it on Google Maps?

Is it possible the church you are talking about is Santa Maria in Ara Coeli? It's one of the most beautiful churches in Rome and has a lot of things to see inside, not to mention a fascinating history. Would you be interested in a video about this church?

Thank you very much. That must be the right one since it is on the summit about the ancient Senate. Do you have a KZfaq Video of it yet? @@Romewise

I think I must have been in a time machine because the interior was very dark with candles and there was none of the marble embellishments. It was just ancient brick walls like it was in the sixth century.@@Romewise

No, I don't. Would you like to see a video about this church? @@jacknicholasny

@Romewise 2 ай бұрын

At times it is only lit by chandeliers so maybe that's when you were inside. Or perhaps it was a different church but none like you describe comes to mind in this area....@@jacknicholasny
