Rome Craft Beer Drinking Go To Via Di Benedetta And You’ll Be Happy

It’d be easy to write a few hundred words on Rome as a Bucket List city. You’ve got the sights, the history, the food. We all know that and we should all have been or want to go to this remarkable place. It’s also a great city for beer, with many great bars, but if you were only to go to two places, then head to Via di Benedetta, in Trastevere, because there, opposite each other, you’ll find Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fa (at number 25) and Bir & Fud (number 23). Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fa (which

Rome is the principal gateway city by air to Italy via the Leonardo da Vinci Airport. As the old saying goes, All roads lead to Rome. Roads radiate from Rome like spokes in a wheel. A circular road, the Grand Raccardo Anulare, twelve kilometers from the city center, allows motorists to bypass the central city or enter it from the most convenient direction. The Stazione Termini, the main railroad station, is one of Europe’s largest. Rome is the sightseer’s city. Nearly every American has heard of the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Pantheon. Rome is also for the romantic. Who

When in Rome do as the Romans do; well not quite. Rome needs no more noisy scooters rattling the windows of houses on narrow streets at midnight. Rome needs no more rip-off artists who are glad to relieve visitors of their money. Rome needs no more auto drivers who think they are charioteers whirling through the Pincio Gate and around the dozens of monuments from ancient Rome. Driving a rental car in Italian cities is only for the brave or the oblivious. Who needs traffic lights when driving can be a game of dodge-em or chicken. Street signs are not

The largest extant Roman amphitheater, seating twenty-five thousand, is an open-air opera in Verona during the summers. A Shakespeare festival, ballets and concerts also fill the amphitheater. The Due Torri (Two Towers) hotel is the place to stay. Originally the official guest house of the ruling Scaligeri family, it was rebuilt in 1958. Each floor has its own parlor-library, each of the one hundred rooms and suites its eighteenth and nineteenth century antiques. Verona itself is almost a museum town; remnants of ancient Roman architecture dot the city. Ten bridges cross the Adige River. One, the Ponte Pietra, dates from

Visitors to Florence find the place jammed in the summer, the prices and temperatures high. They have great difficulty in finding a table in the town’s most famous square, Piazza della Signoria. It was here in 1497 that the fiery Dominican priest, Savonarola, touched the Florentines’ sense of guilt from too much good living, and set the torch to blogs, paintings and musical instruments. Unfortunately for Savonarola, the guilt feelings were fleeting. The next year in the same square the torch was set to Savonarola. The merchant families of Florence had prospered during the period of the Crusades from trade

The place smells of history. (Some of the canals just smell.) A city-state no more than three miles long and scarcely two miles wide, a world power for several hundred years no small accomplishment. At one point, forty-five ships were built each day in its famous Arsenal. Venetian cristallo, the prized clear-thin glass, could not be duplicated elsewhere. The monopoly was secured by sending assassins to find and kill any glassblower foolish enough to leave Venice. Venice is a maze of 118 islets ringed by canals, some three thousand bridges, squares, and alleyways. And you find Venice’s trademark, the gondola.

ROME Perhaps no other city like Rome has ever held such an irresistible fascination for travellers. It’s not an easy city to live in, but is certainly a wonderful city to visit. Its chronic malfunctioning social services is endemic. But the tourist is otherwise enchanted by the unmatchable beauty of the city and tends to accept the disorganization as part of the local color. The magical fascination of the city is generated by the strata of different civilizations. The city is studded with impressive and numerous remains from the ancient Romans, Christian middle ages and the architectural triumph of the
