I really want to go to Rome for vacation.  It is on my bucket list.  
You aren't alone! Rome is the third most visited city in the EU and hosts and average of 7-10 million tourists per year! What do you want to see in Rome?
Where to start?!  The Collossium is a must of course.    And the Spanish Steps
Great choices! The Colosseum receives 4 million tourists annually! I would love to see it myself one day too. There is so much history in Rome.
Yes.  It has been around for over 14,000 years.
I would love to visit some of Rome's churches, palaces, fountains and the Catacombs! I think I'd need at least a month to explore the city!
You probably would.  I really want to go to Ostia.  It is a famous beach area on the outskirts
excellent preservation of its ancient buildings, magnificent frescoes and impressive mosaics.
History.
History Origins.
Ostia may have been Rome's first "colonia". According to the legend Ancus Marcius, the semi-legendary fourth king of Rome, who was the first to destroy Ficana, an ancient town that was only from Rome and had a small harbour on the Tiber, and then proceeded with establishing the new colony further west and closer to the sea coast. An inscription seems to confirm the establishment of the old castrum
ruins of the Roman Forum, and the Catacombs. Rome is the 3rd most visited city in the EU, after London and Paris, and receives an average of 7–10 million tourists a year, which sometimes doubles on holy years. The Colosseum (4 million tourists) and the Vatican Museums (4.2 million tourists) are the 39th and 37th (respectively) most visited places in the world, according to a recent study. In 2005 the city registered 19.5 million of global visitors, up of 22.1%
