Places to see: ALL ROMA. Beside all the most famous and important points of attraction, don't miss: the  Zodiaco above Monte Mario, the Giardino degli Aranci (Oranges Garden) on Aventino (close to the Santa Sabina Church), Campo dei Fiori, the little streets which lead to Piazza Navona from Via del Governo Vecchio, the Gianicolo.... It's impossible to list them all, because they are sooooo much that you have just to walk around Rome, and see.... Look the Roma's sky: the night Rome's light is blue bright.  :)
Dangerous places:  actually Roma isn't a dangerous city. You can safely walk in the 95% of the town, during the day and night. Don't go by walk in the zones close to  Stazione Termini and  Stazione Tiburtina. Avoid the suburban zones with more visible degradation (obviously). No problems for the lonely women, be totally indifferent to the people who try to flirt with you, if they are boring. The center of Rome is very safe. Lookout, on the bus(overall in the center), the pickpockets. Bus n°64 is the most dangerous (that means the most attended by thieves).  Lookout the gipsies who want to read your hand or ask some money: they are very very good in the fast and painless stealing.  Be totally indifferent with all the people who ask you something you don't understand.
How to move:
Points of reference: 1) the LUNGOTEVERE. You can't be wrong taking the Lungotevere as a point of reference. Remember that All roads lead to Roma, ithat means that all the main ways of the capital are convergent in the center. Roma is like a cake: the slices are delimited by the consular streets (the old romans streets, like Via Cassia, Via Flaminia, Via Tiburtina etc etc.). 2) Another point of reference is the Grande Raccordo Anulare or GRA, which surrounds Rome and links the main consular streets.
To visit Rome you can:  a) use the pubblic buses and metro  b) use a car or a motorbike c) go by walk.
a) Metro & Buses: 1.500 lire or  0.75 Euro is the cost of the bus & metro ticket, which lasts for 75 min.and you can take both buses and metro in these 75 minutes. You can find the ticket at the Tabaccaio (a big white T on a black background marks these shops, which are the same of the cigarettes) or at the  ATAC points, at the main city bus stop. More info at the free phone service METREBUS:  167-431784 ( time: 9.00-13.00/ 14.00-17.00)
b) by motorbike or  by car: just if you're not afraid of the Roma's traffic jam. In the center the parking is at 2000 lire-1 Euro  every hour. You can buy the parking ticket at the Tabaccaio (the same I wrote above) or, if you have a lot of coins, at the parking machine. The parking violation is about 60000 lire -30 Euro.  If you want to rent a motorbike, which is the most used transport tool by romans, the prices are from 35000 Lire-17.5 Euro to 50000 Lire- 25 Euro a dayfor a 50cc. motorbike (like a  Vespa or an Honda SH), but you can ask for a forfettary price for a longer time.

c) by walk, if you are in the center, is much better. Roma is so wonderful and beautiful that is better to walk with a good and handly map.
