Roma aka: Rome

Booked my break in Rome, September 2011. Going with a big group of friends and staying in an apartment for the week. I cannot wait! :)

I’m going on Saturday :)

I was there for 9 days, this september. Wonderful city, so full of life. Wanna go there again someday!

Rome has a great mix of ancient culture and modern sofistication. Plus, they have a lot of nature in the city. Parco Borghese is a very nice park in the north of Rome. And it has a beautiful villa (Villa Borghese) with some magnificent statues made by Bernini.

I went to Rome when I was 17 or something, and I remember liking it then, but I don’t remember much of it. I took hardly any pictures. So this trip to Rome was to remember the places properly and see a few more.

The beauty of Rome is that there is something amazing around every corner. Every building is followed by an even more fabulous building. Especially loved going to the Piazza Navona again, which is so pretty. Also loved the Pantheon, EUR and just all those little streets to wander through.

Rome is, next to London, my favorite city on our planet. The buildings breathe art…

sigh

I hope I can go live there when I’m old!

We spent 3 weeks in Rome in January-February and had a fantastic time. The weather was not always ideal for outdoor activities, but there are so many indoor things to see and do that it is easy to fill time. Be sure to visit the major sights but also look around for some of the minor ones. There are numerous small churches with fantastic architecture, art, and histories, and there are almost too many restaurants and bars to try. Every neighborhood, or so it seems, has some often overlooked places worth visiting.

I saw Rome when I was 15 on a family trip to Italy. We were only there for 2 days and I loved it. Rome felt so mysterious and I’d like to go back, see more of the city. We didn’t get to see the famous church there because it was a holiday and way too busy but we did see the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum. Amazing and well worth seeing.

I was a 17 year-old exchange student desperate to go to Rome. My host sister fought with my host mother two days before out departure day. So, I went by myself and it was one of the best life experiences I have. I was able to see all the places I have studied during my History classes and the art I learnt durint the art classes. I couldn’t be happier..

Visited for three days with a tour group, and hit all the major tourist attractions including Vatican City. So much to see and do! it was early October when we went, but the weather was still warm. I love how they eat! Great food everywhere we went! Would love to return. I even threw a coin in the fountain to seal the deal :)
