Trip Tip a Day

Tip of the day: Visit Trevi Fountain in Roma It's a video-clip-on-the-blog experiment - Trevi Fountain still photographs, Trevi fountain video clip to capture the sound. Let's see if it works. Who is the King of the European fountain - Trevi perhaps?

Tip of the day: Be prepared to see lots of grafitti in Rome Rome has it's share of magical sights - Trevi fountain and the Coliseum are just two. But Rome has a big share of grafitti that leaves an impression. A shame, not sure. Something that captures your mind and your eye, yes.

Tip of the day: Visit the Vatican Do your internet research at home before launching a Vatican visit in Rome. We just dropped in, and I didn't have my shoulders covered. I wasn't permitted to enter St. Peter's Basilica, but there is a nice virtual tour of it at the Vatican website: http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm Here is a photo of the large screen that shows the Pope when he gives mass to the masses! St. Peter's Basilica

Tip of the day: Visit the Spanish Steps, Via dei Condotti, and Piazza di Spagna in Roma Remember the film Roman Holiday? Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck on the Spanish Steps View from the stairs down the lux shopping street Via dei Condotti and the Piazza di Spagna at the foot of the steps Up a bit higher on the Spanish stairs Looking to the top of the steps You'll want a cold drink and a gelato by the time you get to the top of the stairs. Enjoy.

Tip of the day: If you visit Roma (Rome), see the Trevi Fountain by day and by night.
