Rome is an excellent city to visit because it has great transport links to other cities and regions in Italy. Rome is a stupendeous city, full of wondrous things to see and do, but there are many other cities and towns in Italy, while smaller than Rome, offer just as much, and, in some cases, even more. Just because you intend to visit Rome, do not think that you cannot leave the city for fear of missing out. If you are only in Rome for a day or two, taking a trip outside the city might be difficult and not worth the expense or the time. If you are in Rome for a week or more, then there are several places that you can visit for the day or even two days and still have enough time to see and enjoy Rome. Also, if you have been to Rome in the past, you do not have an excuse for getting out of the city and seeing some of the countryside and nearby cities and towns.
In the coming weeks, I'll be profiling different areas that you might consider visiting on your next trip to Italy. Rome is convenient for travelers: there is so much to see and do. Public transport is plentiful and generally quite satisfactory. Smaller cities and towns sometimes lack good public transport, and it is often difficult to purchase tickets and understand schedules, especially if you do not speak the language. With a little patience and some effort, you can easily overcome these obstacles.
I'll profile the following cities/towns/attractions (to name a few): Villa Adriana, Pompeii, Naples, Palermo, Viterbo, Palestrina, Florence/Tuscany, Milan, Bologna
