 * Travel Tips  There are multiple airports in Italy, obviously, but here is the link for the [|airport in Rome] . Some people dress their cars to make them look like cabs so don't take a taxi unless the driver has an licensed meter and ID. So don't take a taxi unless it has a taximeter and ID because it could be some fake taxi driver who makes you pay double the fare and locks your luggage away in the trunk. There are 3 terminals, Terminal A, Terminal B and Terminal C. Terminal A is for domestic flights, Terminal B is for domestic and international flights and Terminal C is for transatlantic flights. In between the main coffee shops and restaurants are 130 shops selling gifts, clothing and souvenirs.
 * Tourist and Historical Attractions The biggest tourist attraction in Italy is the Roman Coliseum and it was originally known as the "Flavian Amphitheater" It's a huge building of the Ancient Rome Empire. The Roman Coliseum was completed in 80 AD after the death of the emperor. The height of each floor approximately between 32 and 42 feet. The total height of the entire structure is about 144 feet and it holds 50,000 people. The Roman Coliseum has 76 entrances and an additional 4 entrances reserved for the emperor, nobles and the gladiators. So we suggest, if you ever go to Italy, to visit the [|Roman Coliseum].
