Experience in Rome, Italy by Saba

I didn't actually live there, I'd rather visited Rome just as a tourist. Rome is one of the most visited cities. So if you ever get the opportunity to visit Rome, don't hesitate even for a single moment. For those who are interested in architecture, Rome is a treasure. There are a lot of places to see. However if you like peaceful and calm places, Rome is perhaps not for you. It is full of people. Specially in public transport its hard to find a place even for standing.
