  1. Some tips I sent to a friend recently:

     

    This is where you can get tickets for the Colosseum: http://www.coopculture.it/en/colosseo-e-shop.cfm

     

    If you scroll down about halfway you can get tickets for the ‘colosseum, underground and third ring tours’ which was definitely worth it. You will need to buy that and the normal ticket.

    The normal ticket also entitles you to visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill (valid for 2 days – 1 entry into each).

     

    Definitely go to Pantheon, it’s just an amazing building considering how old it is and the roof is incredible. And it’s free

     

    Altar of the Fatherland is at the end of the main Roman Forum – this building was built in the last 100 years and is a temple honouring Italy’s first king. You can pay to go on the roof and get some great views of the city.

     

    Vatican – bit out of the way and quite expensive to get into – but there is loads to see there (something like 25 museums) and the Sistine Chapel is pretty special. Pre-book this!! The queue on the day is so long, if you pre-book you skip the queue.

     

    Piazza Navona in the west side of the City is worth a visit, all the resturants on the main plaza are very overpriced but worth a visit just to see the fountains and the buildings. Also just next to the Piazza is the best gellato shop in the world: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g187791-d1536028-Reviews-La_Gelateria_Frigidarium-Rome_Lazio.html

  2. Can we just have a poll on OWTB? as good as any exit poll.

     

    I vote we don't leave EU. I don't necessarily feel it is 'broken' and think we would be considerably worse off without being part of something bigger.
