Hello, I am looking for suggestions for a full but laid-back experience but laid-back in Rome for me and my husband, on September 10th a half day, and a full day on the 11th. We disembark in civitavecchia at 0800 . I am cross-eyed from trying to plan it on my own. we like food, history, and architecture. We want to see enough to hit the highlights, but we want to be able we saw the city together..not spend the day being so worried about running from place to place on a tight schedule. So, I guess I am looking for the "Quality over quantity" recommendations.I know everyone's opinion will differ, but it will give me a place to start. We know we would like to get into the Colosseum.
We are staying at the Hotel Lancelot and have arranged our port to Rome from them. I looked into tour companies and suck, but would like to see if we can DIY to control costs.
