It’s #TravelTuesday! I could not be more thrilled to share
this post with you; we are going to ROME today! Let me first start off by
saying, its beauty and history are very overwhelming. I am a history fanatic,
and I couldn’t contain myself. We fully enjoyed everything we could out of
Rome. We started out in Rome in mid-afternoon and went on a walking tour around
the city. Of course we had to get Gelato, we went to Della Palma Gelato di
Roma. They have over 150 flavors, and they have a serious line up. One of the
cool things there is that if your female you will automatically get served
first, plus for us girls right?! We had a few men in our group and our tour
guide had to get each of them ice cream because they would’ve been waiting
forever! We walked our way to the Trevi fountain, which actually sneaks up on
you. We were walking down this little street and then BOOM there’s a huge
fountain, its surreal. The next day we started bright and early to take a
guided tour around the Vatican, an absolutely amazing experience to walk
through. It’s the headquarters of the Roman Catholic church and also St.
Peter’s Basilic, and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes. The architecture had
me speechless. Some good home décor inspiration! After this tour we walked
around for a bit, and took the subway over to the Roman Colosseum. My personal
tour recommendations are that you don’t do both tours in one day, both were
three hours long. Either split them up, do don’t take the guided tour. I would
recommend the guided tour of the Vatican, but maybe not the Colosseum as the
headsets are good, plus the tour takes you to other places as well, which did
not really interest us. To finish our day in this cultural city we shared a pizza
and spaghetti. It was the absolute best food I ate in Italy and probably one of
my tops meals I’ve ever eaten. Make sure you splurge on a good Italian meal;
you don’t get the real taste if you go cheap. But then again I’m a HUGE Italian
fan so; of course I’m going to tell you something like that! Another tip is
that the underground is very confusing if you don’t read Italian, I would
recommend a tour guide to get you through most of the city. The streets are
also quite complicated. What are your thoughts on Rome? Have you been there, or
traveled to it? Let me know below, I love hearing from everyone!
I live in Rome.
ReplyDeleteSo what should I say more than I love my city. I live close to the Colosseum and every day I see it, it's like the first time.
My city is a Museum at open air
