There's lots more; just buy a city map with guided tours on it, and that will take you along the highlights in Rome. The cool parts however, are most of the times things that ARE NOT among the highlights.
When I was visiting my aunt in Rome, she dumped me in a museum in EUR (the district of Rome built by Mussolini) which was a GREAT museum. I'm not that fond of museums, but I liked that one a lot.
Yeah, Rome is great. It's also the easist city to sneak onto the Metro line. Just walk on confidently like you've paid your fare already. Most of the ticket-attendant guys don't get paid enough to actually chase people up

Oh, and be sure to check out the Vatican. Nowhere else on Earth can you see Christs' teachings warped and perverted to such an extreme degree [img]smile.gif[/img]
