My mom is 70 and I took her to Rome in February and she loved it. A bit of rain but not too cold and definitely smaller crowds. If your dad liked Paris, he'll love Rome. There's even a free military museum in the Vittoriano.

mclaurie, the point was...in January I walk everywhere and avoid using vaporettos. Of course, I cross the Grand Canal bridges but my body is constantly moving in the cold. In May, you can't keep me off a boat in Venice. I LOVE the water and come from a family of boaters.

Dear AllyPally,
If you'll only be staying for 3 days (what a shame) I'd vote on Rome. I'll never forget that breathtaking, heart stopping moment of first seeing the Coliseum right in front of me at night, beautiful..
Cheers, E

Hope you have a wonderful trip Ally. I'm going to India in November with my parents and sister (hub is sitting this one out) - gonna spend some time with my one remaining grandparent and also with the 102 year old older brother of my grandfather. Also attending a cousin's wedding and squeezing in some shopping. I'm really looking forward to the family time, especially as it's my dad's first trip since his golf accident a few months back which had him cancelling trips to Baltics and Zambia.
I am sure your dad will enjoy Rome and also that you and fella will love Venice.
