Rome, Italy

Mom and I decided to take a short trip to Rome and Barcelona. It was a good ending of my big three-month long trip, because I absolutely fell in love with Rome. Rome is by far my favorite city out of all the places I had visited. I was surprised to see that Rome was a fairly small city with only one subway line, but I had never seen a city that has as many cultural and historical things to see as Rome has. We stayed in a hotel by Republicca square, thus we were right by the center of the town. When we arrived to Repubblica, we were already surprised how beautiful it was, and it was just the beginning. There was a giant fountain in the middle of a big square, an old basilica right behind it. It was gorgeous.

We were walking around for three days to see all the touristy things we could. Three days were barely enough to see everything. Everywhere we walked we found a cathedral or a 2000 years old historical building or a beautiful square. Almost every street had some wonderful thing to see. We visited the Vatican on our second day. St Peter's Basilica was giant. It was the biggest church you would ever imagine.

Then we walked from there towards the bridges and we were astonished by the scenery.

The Trevi Fountain was also impressive.

In the end of the day we went to see the Pantheon. This was one of my favorite places in Rome. It is about 2000 years old. It looks soo old and massive. It was impressive.

The next day we decided to visit Comune di Roma. This is the place where you can observe the ruins of the old Rome. It was fascinating. I love history and I was very impressed while I was walking around those 2000 years old ruins. The place was jaw-dropping.

Part of the Comune di Roma was the Capitolium. Capitolium is a giant structure. It is amazing how they build that whole thing at that time. It was definitely an impressive achievement.

We loved Rome, the weather was good, the food was delicious, the city was wonderful. We had a great time there.
