Living There

In my city, I would live in Pantheon. I have chosen this place because it is a safe area and you can still see all of the historical sites Rome has to offer. Also, my pap was born in Italy and moved to America. However, some of his family still lives in Italy and they live in Pantheon, Italy.

Getting Around There Section

In Rome, traveling in a taxi or traveling on a bus would be best. People living in Rome sometimes own a car, but often travel on taxi’s. There are many people in Rome walking or riding a bike. If you are just walking around, walking would be ideal because you can see and enjoy all of the sites! If you ride a taxi places, depending on how long the drive is, it will most likely be expensive.
