Rome

Booked a holiday with the miss's to this wonderful city. I have strangely never been there before, it's kind of gone under the radar for some reason.

Any experiences/tips for a first timer? I'm staying near the Vatican.

avoid the cab drivers esp outside the train station. eat as much as possible! eat gilatto for desert. theres so much to see in that city that i cant suggest one thing. get at me inpm and i can probably think of some more sites and things to see. if you get time take a train to napoli and see pompay or sorrento (i think its around there) but above all take a boat to capri esp if the weather is decent/good. gorgeous island. get a few bottles of limoncello while your there. its good if you like lemon liquer and makes a good souvenir.
