[CMC] Travel Guides to Rome, Maps and Hotel Information

[Walz Penelope (BTAS)]

Dear CCSDS Community:

 

When making your travel arrangements to attend the meetings this spring,
please remember that June is the beginning of the tourist season in
Rome.  You are advised to make your reservations early since hotel rooms
and flights are already in short supply.  For a list of hotels
recommended by our host agency ASI, please visit the CCSDS web site at
http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2006Spring/2006SpringHotels.aspx
<http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2006Spring/2006SpringHotels.aspx>  .  

 

In addition, I have included below a large collection of sites that you
might find interesting or helpful in planning various aspects of your
trip to Rome.
