Vatican Museums
Agree with previous review. For more, you need to go on your own, book tickets, go to the opening and until the evening. There is a cafe inside. There would be only strength and desire.

Saint Paul's Cathedral
If you come to Rome with a bus tour, visit the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. If you want to get there on your own, then on the square on the right you will see a queue, you go there.

The Sistine Chapel
I support the previous review with both hands. And I'll tell you about my first visit to the Sistine Chapel. We were here on a tour with a bus tour. They gave us headphones in our ears, and the guide broadcasts into the microphone.

The Colosseum is world famous.
There are probably a dozen people all over the world who have never heard of the Colosseum. Too bad it didn't survive in its entirety. Therefore, it is more interesting to go inside with a tour than on your own.

Santa Maria Maggiore
The basilica is worth visiting. Take a smart guide for a tour. But don't be upset if you can't get into it right away. I got into it only on my third visit to Rome. Pay attention to the plafond.

Lateran Basilica
During sightseeing tours, they do not drive to the Lateran Basilica. Only independently. I advise you to visit the courtyard (for a fee) a masterpiece of the work of the masters of Cosmati and in such a small museum inside the courtyard look for a sketch of Raphael's Madonna.

Trevi Fountain
And I would recommend, if possible, to come and look at the fountain in the evening in the backlight. The same is very beautiful. I was in Rome several times, so once I was unlucky, the fountain was turned off, I think it was on Monday.

Pantheon
Must visit. I advise you to read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown before the trip. It will be interesting to see how the action took place in the book. There is a lot of information about the Pantheon, so if you don’t have a tour, prepare yourself.
