Rome... in the off season

Now, in my opinion this is the best time to go to Rome. Because of it's location so close to the Mediterranean, it stays quite warm and besides a little bit of rain, it is quite nice. I actually prefer Rome after a storm because it cleans up a lot of the smog that is in the air.

When in Rome... you need to hit the sites. In my opinion, you need to hit the Colosseum, Vatican City, the Spanish Steps and the Senate. Those are the definite visits, though there are amazing other sites to see as well.

If you are a movie buff and you like the movies like "Roman Holiday" and "Only You" you need to stop by the face at Bocca della Verita. This a great photo opt and it gets to you a side of Rome that usually doesn't pull many tourist. Another part of Rome I like, is the Trevi fountain. It is one of the largest fountains in Rome. There is also a myth that goes along with this fountian, if you throw in one coin, you will have a speedy return to Rome, if you throw in two coins, you will fall in love in Rome. So of course, I threw in two coins.
