A nice little zoo in the heart of Rome…read more I'm spoiled having grown up near the San Diego Zoo, but this is quite nice, too. Lions, and tigers, and bears! And hippopotamus.

This was a fun time to visit the zoo on the spur of the moment! It was our last day in Rome and we…read moredidnt know what to do, so we visited the Zoo! Everything was very well kept and the animals seemed to be happy. they have quite a lot of animals and the zoo is expansive. It wasnt too expensive and we enjoyed our time walking around and taking pictures of the animals. It was a super fun experience. Allow yourself at least 2-3 hours to see everything and even a bit longer if you are seeing some shows or encounters.

This is where you rent a bicycle for the aqueduct…read more First of all, it's about 1 km uphill on a busy road with no shoulder to the place where the cars can no longer drive. This is very dangerous especially if you have small children as the cars go by extremely quickly and the road is narrow and the traffic goes both ways so people are swerving around you. The people at the bicycle shop do not tell you this fact but they apologize when you get back. The bikes are in decent condition with good brakes but they are not equipped for the bumpy roads like the very Old cobblestones. This would be much better if the bicycle shop was near her to the actual start of the bike path. Again, very dangerous for young children and even dangerous for adults due to the extremely high traffic in there a street they have to write on. This is not a relaxing bike ride secondary to the bumpy conditions of the road.
