the main entrance to Vatican City.

The colosseo (Coliseum), is just a short walk (about three city blocks) from another well known site in Rome, The Foro Romano
(Roman Forum....in ruins). In 1989 entry was free, now (as you can see) the Colosseo has been fenced off and you must pay a
fee to enter. The structure to the right is The Arch of Constantine.

Kaisertherm (Emperor's Baths) in Trier (The oldest city in Germany) is just a few blocks from the center of town. Trier is not a
large city, you can walk across the city in about 30-45 minutes. Full of history and a definite tourist stop. Visit the Dom (large
church) that is over 1700 years old. Just down the Martket Place is the Porta Nigra and old Roman gate.
