Rome, the heart of Italy



For the ones that don't know were Italy is, it is located to the south of Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. It's in the Mediterranean sea and it has the shape of a boot. 

I've always been willing to go there, and some of the reasons of this are that I love pasta and that all the people I know that have been in Italy has told me that is beautiful. I've seen photographs and I've read articles about Italy and I can tell you in advance that in effect, it's great.

Italy, as you imagine, is quite big and there are lots of cities and places that you can visit. You can visit Florence, Turin, Milan, Venice, Naples... But there is a place you must go in Italy, and that's the capital, Rome. Rome is a beautiful city, full of places to go and activities to do.

Moving on I'm going to tell you what places you MUST visit in Rome:



The Pantheon: The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in the world. Though definitely one for your list of places to visit in Rome, the truth is that it doesn’t really take all that long and you have to remind yourself that you’re looking at a 2,000 year-old building to really understand the magnificence of what you’re viewing.




The Coliseum: Now the Colosseum, that emerges on every list of sites to see in Rome there ever was. And with good reason. Once the largest amphitheatre of the Empire, where gladiators, criminals and lions alike fought for their lives, the Coliseum is an absolute must for any tour of Rome.



The Roman Forum: One of the most famous places to visit in Rome, the Forum was the center of Roman life. Today it lacks its former greatness and needs a bit of imagination to really get the idea but it does have loads to see. There are free tours you can join and these are worthwhile.




The Trevi Fountain: The largest and most iconic fountain in the city, the Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s top tourist attractions. Resplendent with murals of fables and myths, the fountain attracts thousands of tourists, all keen to throw their coins into its waters…



So definitely don't doubt when going to these places, you won't regret it.
