Hi, we are going to Rome next week and I have been doing some research on the internet. I notice that Rome is mainly just a lot of old buildings, and so we will be walking around just LOOKING at these buildings.

But one thing puzzles me. There is a staircase called the "Spanish steps" and everyone says how wonderful, you must go there and see these steps. But from what I can make out, it is just SOME STEPS with a load of people sitting about on them. There does not seem to be anything so wonderful about these steps.

So can anyone explain what is the fascination with Rome's famous "Spanish steps?" Is it just to "see and be seen" or something?

You can see why it obviously peeked my interest. I am sure it is not the literal but still curious to know translation and orgin if possible,.

Hello, I am a New Zealand student in my second to last year of school. I am hoping to go on a student exchange to Italy next year. I could go for 2 months, 6 months or 1 year. I am a mature and friendly person who is looking forward to experiencing another culture.

Right now I am deciding whether to apply for for 6 months or 1 year. I would really love to get to know my host family and friends ... and would love to choose the 1 year exchange. However I am very close to my family and friends and may miss them. I know going for a year will build my confidence and would be a great learning experience.

Due to the departure times I will miss the school ball and graduation if I leave on a 6 month exchange. The year programme departs later and would give me a chance to finish off most of the school year.

Hi! We have 3 days in Rome, what are the must see attractions that I shouldn't miss? Is it hard to get around the city; should we walk, take taxis or metro? Do I need to make reservations at any of the attractions???
