I fell in love with Roma since playing Assassin's Creed games and after seeing it with my eyes, I'm still surprised how on earth everything was built...

No need to wait in line. Of course, do not go in summer, the heat is unbearable and you do not enjoy the visit. And if you can take a guide to tell you the story better because otherwise you only see stones.
