Not interested in churches or drinking. I'm going on a student trip to Rome and don't want to be bored |
It is a spring break trip in April, but registration is now. We'll have afternoons and evenings free. I'm not interested in old christian architecture or art galleries or drinking wine. Is there anything exciting to do there that would be worth all that money? No need to go worry about Rome. Even if you sit in front of a coffeebar all day long, you won't be bored a single minute. But, walking into the neighbourhoods and checking out the tiny local shops will get you closer to the true "Rome Experience" In the heart of Rome, huge shops look the same as everywhere, and coffee or tea are relatively expensive. Not in the smaller parts of town, where the Italians have their open air breakfast or lunch for a local price. If want to be a bit of a tourist, but avoiding the boring stuff, check out these places: - Sip a cappuccino next to the Colosseum or grab a slice of pizza in the shadow of the Vatican. - Visit the Gladiator school, located on Via Appia (3 day gladiator course available too). - Bert猫, Trendy Toys on Piazza Navona. It's one of Rome's oldest toy shops, and has a giant Pinocchio to guard the door. They are famous for their hand-crafted wooden dolls and puppets. Not cheap, but great to look around!! - Portaportese, open air huge flea market with just about everything you can imagine, both new and used, from junk to priceless. Open on Sundays, 6:30am-2pm. Go early to avoid crowds and watch your wallet. Enter from Piazza di Portaportese or Piazza Ippolito Nievo, in the area of Trastevere. - Website to figure out what you need to know about public transport in Rome: http://it.geocities.com/mp_pollett/roma-... |
