Free weekend in Rome, anyone

[MapisM]

Well, not exactly, TBH...
...And the real things are surely worth the trip, anyway.
But this is as close as I've ever seen to actually being there.
Hope you enjoy! (Adobe flash required)

Stunning places and even better when you can take a look in such detail and look all around too from your desk.
Thanks for posting.

Wow, that's clever stuff, thanks for posting MM.

Seeing as we are only staying at a Rome airport hotel overnight, passing through shortly, I don't feel so bad about missing the highlights now

Brilliant, we are heading there on a road trip in August to see the sights [via Como and Umbria] so praps it'll save me having to hustle with the Roman traffic...

Excellent ... we will be visiting there later this year on a very big boat, so I will show the family.
Thanks for the links.

Glad you enjoyed the virtual tour, folks.
...though for those who will have the opportunity to see the places for real, you will tell me if I had reason to say that they are worth the trip anyway!
Actually, in a sense, those webpages are even more impressive if you have seen also the real things...
