Been there some 7-8 years ago and it looks much better and cleaner now! Great!:)

As to the 'historic downtown', you guys need to go to Italy. Not speaking of all the places in Rome, there are towns where they have private houses built-in the walls of local coliseums or defensive walls. If you ever have a chance to go somewhere, it MUST be Italy. And it's really great to rent a car and see some of the not-so-mainstream cities and towns because each and every of them is some 2000 years old, with local tiny churches, great landscapes and everything else you could imagine.[DOUBLEPOST=1402769356][/DOUBLEPOST]And yeah, Italian girls are... well, you normally can't help but stare and :drool: XD
In the southern part only, though.

This city really looks great. Transportation, information, shops, restaurants, parks - all these are in excellent conditions. Hotel was lowly but had excellent comfort and equipment. Historical landmarks are carefully restorated - you saw this on my photos.

I really don't get how every russian hotel in every small town has free and working wi-fi while I was searching for a hotel in French Alps to stay at next winter while skiing and there are, like, only 5 hotels in the town with wi-fi. Also, everyone comments that neither of them actually works or (in the very best case) you have to pay like 10 euros a day for the wi-fi alone :\
 
@MikeK - lovin all things italian,: the food, the coffee, the peeps, the landscape, the history,

My advice? ditto mike, you'll learn more about 'Italy' out of the Cities than in them, tho of course Rome's a must (4 days in Rome and you'll feel like you did 4 Marathons!!) Plus Florence, Sienna, Pisa, The lakes, Sicily, Skiing the Alps, etc etc etc lol
