I've been to Rome several times and it feels different every time.

This city is absolutely doable for a woman traveling alone with a bit of common sense, even without speaking Italian. I first went there during my school days, and later as an adult woman on my own. Of course, my Italian helped, but it's absolutely not essential. I stayed in a nice apartment within walking distance of the Colosseum; the journey there was straightforward, so I was ready for pizza, pasta, and tiramisu.

Sightseeing features

In Rome, you really don't know where to begin. The Colosseum? The Roman Forum? The Spanish Steps? The Trevi Fountain? I stayed at the Rome Apartment Colosseo with Vito, who is incredibly nice and even picked me up from the airport. Of course, you can also get around by bus and train, but I wanted to make things a bit easier for myself. I chose this apartment because it's practically right around the corner from the Colosseum.
