    I’m visiting Rome for the 1st time in October, I’ll be there for 2 days before I leave for a transatlantic cruise, I’m seriously considering staying for a week, but this video has me rethinking the week long stay, it appears I can see a lot for my first visit, good thing I have a few months to decide, thanks for the suggestions.
