Rome has some incredibly impressive sights, but I find it’s a difficult city to visit. Finding good food as a tourist is a challenge (though not impossible - I had my best ever restaurant experience there), and distances are crazy without fantastic public transportation. But it has some lovely neighbourhoods, and for me the size of the city walls left a lasting impact. It’s hard to wrap one’s head around the history.

For me though, the best thing about Rome is how fast one can get to Naples by train. Now that is a city!
