We almost skipped Rome. That would have been sooo dumb. I couldn't deal with a city that was just as hot as Venice, but with bigger crowds. I was wrong and I'm so glad we ended up taking a train here. We are staying in a cute apartment that is a 20 min walk from the Colosseum! We walked around the city our first day here and then got up real early to get in line for tickets. We only had to wait about 25 min. By the time we left, the line was wrapped around the building! The Colosseum is actually much smaller than I was expecting it to be. There really aren't any bad seats, I'm sure you could have seen the action from just about anywhere. The Roman forum is right behind it, so we went there too. There's not much left of it but random pillars, but it still feels amazing to be walking through what was once the heart of the Roman Empire. The circus maximus is nearby too, but it's just a big dirt track now. There aren't even any signs telling you what it was.
