ROME 2016

Rome is magnificent and brutal at the same time. Its a showcase of Western civilization, with astonishingly ancient sights and a modern vibrancy. But if youre careless, youll be run down or pickpocketed. And with the wrong attitude, youll be frustrated by the kind of chaos that only an Italian can understand. On my last visit, a cabbie struggling with the traffic said, Roma chaos. I responded, Bella chaos. He agreed.

Rome is a magnificent tangled urban forest. If your hotel provides a comfortable refuge; if you pace yourself; if you acceptand even partake inthe siesta plan; if youre well-organized for sightseeing; and if you protect yourself and your valuables with extra caution and discretion, youll love it. (And Rome is much easier to live with if you can avoid the midsummer heat.)

Over two thousand years ago the word Rome meant civilization itself. Everything was either civilized (part of the Roman Empire, Latin- or Greek-speaking) or barbarian. Today, Rome is Italys political capital, the capital of Catholicism, and the center of its ancient empire, littered with evocative remains. As you peel through its fascinating and jumbled layers, youll find Romes buildings, cats, laundry, traffic, and 2.7 million people endlessly entertaining. And then, of course, there are its stupendous sights.

Visit St. Peters, the greatest church on earth, and scale Michelangelos 448-foot-tall dome. Learn something about eternity by touring the huge Vatican Museums. Youll find the story of creationbright as the day it was paintedin the restored Sistine Chapel. Do the Caesar Shuffle through ancient Romes Forum and Colosseum. Savor Europes most sumptuous building, the Borghese Gallery, and take an early evening Dolce Vita Stroll down Via del Corso with Romes beautiful people. Enjoy an after-dark walk from Campo de Fiori to the Spanish Steps, lacing together Romes Baroque and bubbly nightspots. Dine well at least once. Pope Francis has declared 2016 as an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy Holy Year, with special events planned (and larger crowds expected) here in the Eternal City.

Use this legend to help you navigate the maps in this book.

Rick Steves Rome 2016 is a personal tour guide in your pocket. Better yet, its actually two tour guides in your pocket: The co-author of this book is Gene Openshaw. Since our first Europe through the gutter trip together as high school buddies in the 1970s, Gene and I have been exploring the wonders of the Old World. An inquisitive historian and lover of European culture, Gene wrote most of this books self-guided museum tours and neighborhood walks. Together, Gene and I keep this book current (though for simplicity, from this point we will shed our respective egos and become I).

In this book, youll find the following chapters:

Orientation to Rome has specifics on public transportation, helpful hints, local tour options, easy-to-read maps, and tourist information. The Planning Your Time section suggests a schedule for how to best use your limited time.

Sights in Rome describes the top attractions and includes their cost and hours.

The Self-Guided Walks and Tours lead you through the heart of Rome, connecting the great monuments and atmospheric squares. Youll tour the Pantheon, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Capitoline Museums. Youll visit the pilgrimage churches, including the grandest of allSt. Peters. Youll see the Vatican Museums, Borghese Gallery, National Museum of Rome, and St. Peter-in-Chains Church. Youll explore Trastevere, the heart of the crusty, colorful neighborhood across the river; learn about the Jewish Ghetto, the citys medieval Jewish quarter; and take a spin on the ancient Appian Way.

Key to This Book

Abbreviations and Times

I use the following symbols and abbreviations in this book:

Sights are rated:

Dont miss
Try hard to see
Worthwhile if you can make it
No ratingWorth knowing about

Tourist information offices are abbreviated as TI, and bathrooms are WCs. To categorize accommodations, I use a Sleep Code (described on ).

Like Europe, this book uses the 24-hour clock. Its the same through 12:00 noon, then keeps going: 13:00, 14:00, and so on. For anything over 12, subtract 12 and add p.m. (14:00 is 2:00 p.m.).

When giving opening times, I include both peak season and off-season hours if they differ. So, if a museum is listed as May-Oct daily 9:00-16:00, it should be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. from the first day of May until the last day of October (but expect exceptions).
