When in Rome, see the Baths of Caracalla. An amazing preservation of ancient Rome.

Fun fact: Most people know that St. Peter's remains are underneath St. Peter's in Rome. Fewer know that the remains of St. Valentine are also in Rome (Santa Maria in Cosmedin)? As are the remains of the disciples Paul (St. Paul Outside the Walls), James the Lesser and Philip (Church of the 12 Apostles) and Batholomew (San Bartolomeo all'Isoal)??

CONTRARIAN TAKE: Rome's trastevere neighborhood is OVERRATED. Just south of the heart of old Rome ("trastevere" means "across the Tiber"), Trastevere is now the area of Rome every guidebook and traveler lists as a "must see" to see authentic Rome. Not exactly. My experience with Trastevere goes back to my college study abroad in the 80s, when I used to go there to do my laundry. It has changed a lot since then. Trastevere was always a home to ex-pats living in Rome, including many Americans. It still is home to ex-pats. But strolling around the areas of Trastevere at night these days (especially the part closest to the Tiber) is a sea of tourists looking to see "authentic Rome". How authentic can it be when it is full of tourists and menus are written in English? If you want to go see Trastevere, go deeper in, past Santa Maria Trastevere church. Better yet, stroll the area between Piazza Navona west to the Tiber to see authentic Rome. Osteria dei Cappellari and Il Corallo are 2 good dining choices.

When traveling in Rome, buses can be a good option. You will get a paper ticket from a machine or "tobacchi" stores. Remember that you are responsible for having your ticket validated in the machine in the front and rear of the bus. Transit workers occasionally board buses and you will have to show them your ticket. If the ticket is not validated you are subject to large fines of 50 Euros or more (about $60.00 US)! I saw a group of students get ticketed at Termini station for this.
