Our vacation to Rome for two weeks at the end of May and into June. We rented an apartment near the Vatican and stayed the entire time in the city with a one day excursion to Ostia Antica. Man, was it crowded, but two weeks was a good time to focus on Roma and catch up on the Etruscan artifacts we missed when we visited back in 1996.
