I like how Rick says it takes four TOURISTS to hug a column...Rather than simply people...Implying there's nothing but tourists there...Hehe...

@meldrew78 Of course! You can see Rome to in 3 or 4 days. Most of the tourist attractions are close to each other, so you can visit almost all walking. I've been there on january and for me 4 days was enough.

@tecaistes ... Just do it! ((-;

I have 2 questions:

1. Which is more crowded to walk around in; Rome or Amsterdam?

2. Can I see most of the big tourist attractions in Rome in 5 days? I know I can't see everything but is 5 days enough for at least the must see sights?
