Recommendation for affordable hotel in Rome in city center
My Mom loves those hop on hop off bus rides. We did it in Washington
DC and when they got tired, it was very convenient. We'll look into that when we get to Rome. Thanks. "GG" wrote in message et... Originally posted by Lil I'll check it out. Is it close to the metro or a bus? (My Mom has a bum knee and I want her to "make it" to the sights. Thanks. Lil A few years ago I spent five days in Rome with elderly parents who had limited stamina for walking as a basic means of transportation. We tried the bus and subway a couple of times, but those were a struggle too with crowding, so we were mostly using taxis to get around. The third day, I noticed a brochure for a hop-on/hop-off bus. For the next two days we used two different tours to get around for the day and it worked out very well. They were reasonably priced and kept fairly close to their schedules. They both provided some commentary between stops, and their itineraries were somewhat different which provided some variety. I found this link for bus tours of Rome, three of which are the hop-on/off type. http://www.romeguide.it/FILES/visite/bus_tour.html . Buon viaggio! GG |

These busses may be very convenient for your Mom. There is one called the Archeobus that goes to some of the archeological sites outside the city proper. However, much of Rome's charm is in the little streets where no bus can go. Do try to do some walking off the beaten track in the historic center and in Trastevere. Barbara |
