Rome trip!

I instantly fell in love with Rome!

It's such an old city with sooo much history! Walking around you literally will see archaeologists at work!

I was in such awe of the forum and the colosseum, they were by far my favorite thing to see!

The food and drinks are sooooo soo yummy!

•The colosseum was such a surreal experience and also very large! I could just sit there and watch the arena for so long! The history is just sooo amazing!

•The trevi fountain was nice to see and take pictures! We got gelato and waited for the crowd to die down to get pics!

•The forum was my favorite thing to walk through! Seeing all the ruins and getting that feel was so special. It felt something out of this world.

•The Vatican museum was also really special with all the statues ,the art, and i think we saw mummies there! If not there at the forum museum!

•St Peters Basilica was sooo much larger in person than i would have ever imagined! The art and the statues are just so beautiful!

•The spanish steps are cool for pics and you can see the city from the view above.

Just walking around italy you see soooo much history and little free museums you can walk inside. The experience on this trip was by far the best! I would definitely go again and do it much more at ease because in this trip we squeezed everything in two days!

Definitely would love to see other parts of Italy because i was in love! 😍

Rome
2024/2/3 Edited to

... Read moreRome is a city that effortlessly blends ancient history with vibrant modern culture. From the awe-inspiring Colosseum, where gladiators once battled, to the serene beauty of St. Peter's Basilica, every corner of the city tells a story. Don’t miss the charming Trevi Fountain, where tossing a coin is said to ensure your return to this enchanting city. As you stroll through the Forum, imagine life in ancient Rome amidst the ruins that speak to the past. Food in Rome is a gastronomic delight, with authentic dishes such as pasta, seafood, and delectable gelato that capture the essence of Italian culinary traditions. Be sure to stop by local restaurants to savor each bite, and perhaps enjoy a Negroni while taking in the stunning sunset views from a vantage point outside the Colosseum. Visiting popular sites can mean dealing with crowds, so it's wise to plan your visits during off-peak hours. You’ll enjoy more time at these significant landmarks, snapping the perfect photos without the bustling crowds. Also, consider exploring lesser-known attractions, which often provide deeper insights into Rome's rich history and cultural heritage. Whether you're tracing the steps of emperors or simply enjoying the vibrancy of everyday life in the city, Rome offers an unforgettable experience that beckons travelers to come back time and time again. As you contemplate additional destinations in Italy, remember that each region has its unique charm waiting to be discovered!
