We were in Rome for 6 days in late September 2011 and stayed near Campo di Fiorio. Rome is a small compact city that understands and caters to tourists. The Italians appear to have figured out how to live after a couple of thousand years. So friendly and tolerant of our lack Italian. We covered 5 hills of Rome, the Palentine, Aventine, Esquilinel, Quirinal , Capitoline hills as we viewed 18 churches, 3 museums (5 sites), 2 art galleries, numerous piazzas, fountains and of course ancient ruins. Using a GPS, a Garmin 62, our total coverage on foot (not including interiors) was 60 km. The museums were Capitoline Museums (2 sites), National Museum of Rome (Palazzo Massimo and Palazzo Altemps), arguably the best organized and lighted for viewing ancient statues and the Vatican Museum (so much and so little time). The Gallery Borghese would also count as a museum because of its collection of statues including spectacular Berninis but we have counted it as a art gallery. Also, the Borghese was the one place in Rome where cameras were not allowed perhaps to help with sales of their guide books. Not sure if we would return there but the Bernini's are something to see. Not an issue for the rest but it was somewhat confusing in the Capitoline when a camera could be used. The Vatican Museum gets counted twice because of the art (Sisteen Chapel) and Raphael rooms. Our best of list would include the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Museum, the well lighted Museum of Room, the ancient statues and some of the churches with their Catholic history that has had such an impact on European civilization. The Canon 5DII came in handy in the museums since there is very little light for photography of the statues. I was lucky to get just a few where there was enough natural light.
