After our cruise in May, Jennifer and I will be staying a few extra days in Rome. Since this will be our first time there, and we honestly have no clue which of the thousands of things we should do in Rome, on today’s program I asked for suggestions. Below are a few of the answers from callers. What would you add to the list? We’re particularly interested in the best restaurants we should be sure to go to, as well.
- Old Bridge Gellato (where JP2 used to get his Gellato!)
- 8:30 Mass at St. Peter’s in the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel
- St. John Lateran/San Giovanni – See the table from the last supper
- Church of the Stairs
- Go to Rome Termini and get a pair of glasses (supposedly great deals!)
- Church of San Clemente
- Scavi Tour (already have our reservations)
- St. Maria de Andeas – Where St. Maximilian Kolbe celebrated his first Mass
- Fransican Monastery/Bone Church
- Paul’s Imprisonment site (Mamentine Prison)
- Parthenon
- Climb the stairs at the Basilica
- Vatican Garden tour and train station
- St. Peter in Chains
- When approached by gypsies and their children, yell, “Lottro!”
What else?
