Roma!

Rome is an amazing city. One to return to in the future. On Friday, we woke up early to hit the major attractions and avoid all of the tourists. We visited the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Coliseum and Trastevere. Out of these landmarks, the Coliseum was the most incredible. There is so much history in this building let alone the city as a whole. After walking around for the entire day, we went out to an ice bar. Everything inside the bar was made of ice including the cups. It was such a fun experience but a little chilly.

On Saturday, we walked around the less central area of Rome and enjoyed the nature in Villa Borghese. We made our way back to the Spanish Steps and experienced the main drag booming with tourists the complete opposite as the morning. The streets and steps were lively and exciting to be around. the next day we planned to go visit and see the inside of the Coliseum.

On the first Sunday of every month the museums and attractions in Europe are free to everyone. Our plan was to get into the Coliseum for free however the lines ended up being so long that it was worth it to pay. We also didn’t have much time since we had to catch our train back to Florence. All in all, we got to see the inside of the Coliseum as well as the ruins. Right after our tour, it began to pour and we got soaked as we headed back to our hostel to get our bags. We are now on our way back to Florence in dry and warm clothing.
