in November. Have a bit of time to bounce around Rome. Looking for suggestions. Here are available times:
Sunday Afternoon (should arrive at the hotel by noon).
Monday Afternoon (Sistine Chapel Tour & St. Peters small group tour Monday morning.)
Tuesday day up until about 4:00 pm, then headed to airport.
First time to Rome for my wife. Colosseum? Other places? Not big on crowds.
Also, looking for restaurant recommendations near the hotel and lunch or dinner recommendations near Trevi Fountain. (Prefer quiet with great food. Not necessarily expensive.) Other thoughts? With limited time, some recommendations would be very helpful.
There is a lot of information about Rome and its food on this forum. The most useful piece of advice would be to get out of the Hilton Garden Inn because while it's technically in Rome, you are actually about a 45 minute walk away from the historic center.
Perhaps you are going for a business meeting. I've done that many times, and the meetings are usually in a terribly located place like the Sheraton, or the Hilton Garden Inn. I've always found it better to stay in the center and take transportation back and forth to the meeting, than to stay in a bad place and take transportation back and forth into the parts of Rome where you should be.
