We have three nights/two full days in Rome, so can only touch on a few highlights.
I've been to Rome a couple of times, and the Sistine chapel is top of my list - they had just finished the ceiling, but not The Last Judgement when I was last there. Of course, that includes St Peter's Basilica and the rest of the Vatican Museums, as well as the Castel Sant'Angelo
The stark simplicity of the Pantheon (one of the earliest buildings made from concrete) is also worth a visit, and the nearby Trevi fountain and Piazza Navona.
For the boys, we'll have to do the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.
What else should we try to squeeze in there? The boys won't want to do too many museums/art galleries/churches, and I saw many of them twenty-mumble years ago.
