Italy has so many beautiful places, but in our maiden trip,
we decided to go with the most popular ones – Rome, Florence and Venice! This
part II takes you through our first pit stop of this amazing holiday – Rome!
The first things first – we were handed with our very own
‘Map of Rome’ , so if you don’t have one, ask your host! Trust me , this is the
Holy Grail while you are at Rome. Coz you can ACTUALLY cover whole of the city
(well whatever is worth a visit) on foot ! So go grab the map, and be your own
guide.. get lost.. get into a random church and be in awe of it.. look at the
tiny street lamp.. read all the ‘VIA’s and make your own routes… this really is
the best part about the whole city !
Trip Highlights
· GELATO ! Have.As.Much.As.Possible !· And Berries , when you are at it ;)· Trevi Trevi Trevi ! You can’t get enough of it :) Please go see it in the day and the night. Yes, it looks different and its worth it ! Best thing - reach there by 5ish.. spend some leisure time, sit down , take a stroll, have a gelato.. and then come back again at 8 ! If you cant figure what else to do , go to Spanish steps and take in the happy air !· Rome by Night – if you are up for it , spend a night strolling around the main sights. Capitoline Hill , Roman Forum , Trevi , Pantheon all look wonderful in the night.. Highly recommend it !· Alio Olio – the times you don’t know what to eat, just go for this option :)· Castle Gondolfo – what a find ! It was my husband’s birthday and we chose this place for lunch.. less than an hour train ride from Termini station will land you to this beautiful sleepy place (which is also Pope’s summer residence btw!) and a quaint little station ! One of the best meals with the most spectacular views I have had in the Italian trip was here :)
We spent four nights at Rome.. well actually you can cover
it all in 3 nights as well !
Suggested Itinerary:
- Day 0.5 – If you land late in the day, just take in the city. If you have time, say hello to Trevi!
