After the cruise we decided to extend the vacation bliss and stay a few days in Rome. Let me begin by saying, I love Rome. It is an amazing city. It is beautiful and magical. The history of this place is inspiring. The food is delightful. Easily, Rome captivated our hearts.
Piazza Navona. This lovely piazza is in the heart of the city. Our apartment while in Rome was just steps away.
The Pantheon is one of the most well preserved monuments in Rome
Making a wish at Trevi Fountain
On our way to Vatican City
The Vatican Museum
St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City
The main mode of transportation, a roman vespa. So adorable.
The magnificent Colosseum
Of note, there are behavior rules when vising the Colosseum. Specifically, it is forbidden "to introduce bicycles, skateboards, or other motorized objects" or "eat meals in large groups" Just be mindful of that.
In all seriousness, this place was amazing. The history was tangible.
The Roman Forum
Bocca della Verita: The mouth of Truth
Villa Borghese Gardens: The Central Park of Rome
The Spanish Steps
Ahhh...Giolitti's. By far, the best gelato in Rome, and believe us when we say we searched multiple times a day for the perfect spot. Truly, I had a dream the other night about Giolitti's. Guess it is time to go back!
The quaint streets of Trastevere, the cutest neighborhood in Rome
Villa Doria
Until next time...Arrivederci
