One night in Roma.
Heeding advice from many Fodorites, I am only spending one night in Rome before I head up to Tuscany to begin my honeymoon (so I don't do too much in too short a period of time). I am booked at The Hotel Julia, near Trevi Fountain. I have been to Rome before, by my future hubby has not. We should be at our hotel by 3-4pm. What would you suggest we do, other than have a nice dinner in a piazza? Also, does anyone know of a book containing a Night Walking Tour of Rome? Please advise, thank you :)

Hotel Julia is on a very quiet street, although 5 minutes from the Trevi Fountain. I do remember one review from people facing the back who said there were early-morning garbage trucks, but my street-facing room was very quiet.

Hotel Julia is definitely not luxurious, but I had a good deal and I liked everything. Read the TripAdvisor reviews to see if you can stand the quirks.
I'd suggest the EnjoyRome tour for night walks of Rome. That would be a good introduction. |
I would recommend taking the walk Georgina Masson describes in her Companion Guide to Rome: go to the Capitoline to see the Forum and Colosseum illuminated at night.

I think the night walking tour of Rome that is in Rick Steves' Italy book (or at least it was in an older version of his book) is a good one. You can tweak it or change the direction according to your needs/wants.
Not too far from the Trevi fountain is San Crispino gelateria - yummy flavors like honey and fresh fruit. Ask your hotel; it is a couple of streets from the fountain. |
Beware that if you email eileenp, you will no doubt get spammed with her attempts to sell you her jewelry and other items she likes to advertise here -- yea, "restaurant list", indeed.

Can you suggest a better option than Hotel Julia? I don't want to spend more than 150 Euros because all we will do is sleep there for one night. But it is the first night of our honeymoon... |
try www.venere.com where you can serach by price range.

Corkee, Hotel Julia is the only hotel I've stayed at in Rome. Maybe someone else has suggestions. I think considering Rome hotel prices, it's a good deal.
