The Vatican Museum- 15 Euro.
A truly fascinating building, showcasing Ancient Rome artifacts and religious paintings that will leave you mesmerized. There are so many corridors and rooms it is advisable to take comfortable shoes with you. Make sure to explore the terrace near the gallery to see St. Peter's Cathedral, hidden behind a beautiful landscape of green trees. If you only have time to see one museum in Rome this is the one to see, kept in wonderful condition it is worth the entry fee. Tours are available to enhance your knowledge at an extra charge.
The Baths of Caracalla- 6 Euro.
Stunning and well preserved, the Baths offer a relaxing stroll through ancient walls and beautiful gardens. Walk on ancient mosaics, stand near the remainders of other mosaics and gaze up at the towering walls for a true sense of Ancient Rome. This tourist attraction was quieter than most, but worth a look, especially for a day away from the crowds. One of my favourite spots to sit and appreciate the beauty and tranquility of Rome.
Transportation.
Cheap and efficient, the transportation in Rome makes it easy for you to see all the sites. The Rome underground is a mere 4 Euro all day with stops near most of the big attractions. The Pantheon, The Vatican and The Baths of Caracalla require a short walk after the stop, so make sure to take a map with you.
If your plane lands in Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino airport don't waste time getting a taxi to the center of Rome, but hop on the Leonardo Express for 14 Euro. It is a train service that takes you straight to Termini station in the heart of Rome. However, you must get the ticket validated from a machine on the platform after purchase. The ticket then lasts for 90 minutes after validation, if a ticket guard catches you without a valid ticket you will get fined!
Buses are also cheap and frequent, however the best transportation in Rome is simple. Walk from as many attractions as you can because in Rome there is a piece of ancient and new beauty on every street.
