Built, according to legend by Romulus on seven hills, Rome is a fascinating place that is impossible to do justice to on a brief visit. There are a staggering number of things to see and all of them seem to rate as 'must see'. Rome is also the capital of modern Italy with all the trappings attendant to this. It is crowded, the traffic is insane and the pickpockets work the tourist crowds. All this against the backdrop of Rome's historical legacy makes it a truly unique place.
Rome is richly strewn with churches, museums and galleries all of whom give their own rewards to the inquisitive traveller. There are so many it is impossible to do justice to them all so don't try. Do what you can according to the time available but do it well.
