Rome

I don't think it is possible to have "enough" time in Rome. After all, Rome is the "Eternal City." Over 2,000 years of history lies, quite literally, beneath your feet when you walk it's narrow, wandering streets. To me, Rome is really three different cities; the classical capital of the Roman Empire, the crowded medieval city, and the grand Baroque center of Counter-Reformation Catholicism. During our short time in Rome we will have the opportunity to experience all three. We will get to walk through the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. We will have the opportunity through the cramped medieval streets of Rome's center, and we will experience the Baroque grandur of St. Peter's. We will also run into Baroque fountains just about everywhere. Because our time is so limited, I don't have any free time suggestions other than to simply take a stroll through Rome and enjoy our last evening in Europe.
