Rom: U-Bahn-Pass für die Piazza Navona und das Trevi-Viertel

The first underground tour I completed was under Piazza Navona. I thought it was quite interesting to see how the current piazza sits atop of the original stadium Domitian built. The audio tour was quite well done and posters/photos/artifacts were laid out following the history of the stadium. I thought the posters giving various facts about the Roman emperors were hilarious (like average life span of an emperor with usurpers was 5 years while without was 5.5 years or in the 49 years between 235 - 284 AD there were 27 emperors with 3 dying of natural causes and the remainder suffering a violent death, average lifespan as emperor less than 2 years). The posters showing the various sporting events were interesting to see how some of them have evolved in two thousand years. And some are still pretty much the same. Since I was so impressed with the stadium I had high hopes for the Trevi fountain considering the tour was a set time. I was disappointed. First of all, the audio tour was similar to a leapfrog toy (toy for toddlers to help them learn words). Mine worked maybe 40% of the time. The only difficulty was the layout, granted this isn't the fault of the city, however, none of the walkways connect so there are three places when you reach the end you have to turn around and walk past everyone still trying to get to the end. While I wouldn't do the Trevi fountain underground alone, as part of the package it was fine. I would recommend the stadium underground if only to see what Domitian did beyond expanding the coliseum.

Ein großer Spaß, aus der Sonne zu kommen! Das Audio der Piazza Navona war definitiv einfacher zu verfolgen und besser als der Trevi-Brunnen. Kinder haben es genossen!

Schöne kühle Pause, um aus der Sonne herauszukommen, um den Besuch des Trevi-Brunnens und der Piazza Navona zu ergänzen. Kann in seinem eigenen Tempo vorgehen und so viel oder so wenig lernen, wie Sie möchten.
