A truly all inspiring city with incredible sites, history and culture. Rome is a city that is a highlight of any trip, and this was certainly the case for me too. Although cquite expensive, you can't help to splurge on your wallet when it comes to some of the most impressive museums, historical sites and monuments. Upon our arrival from Venice, we …

Roma sau „orasul etern" este un loc incarcat de frumusete, contrast si viata. Este un oras eclectic: centrul mondial religios al Bisericii Catolice, fabuloasele ruine ale centrului Imperiului Roman si Roma moderna si neastamparata. Toate acestea trei par a fi in dezacord, insa convietuiesc intr-o deplina armonie. Veti observa ca Roma a fost …

Next, we visit the bustling Capital of Italy. During the reign of the Roman Empire, Rome was the hub of life for all things political, artistic, and religious. As we visit now, we see that it is still a center of life. In order to fully absorb the grand architecture and attractions of Rome, we spend two days here. Luckily, O'Reilly's nonni live …

First of all the sleep thing is still weird. We went to bed pretty late (eating dessert out at 1 am will set you back a bit – timewise). I woke up at 7 am, wide awake. At 11 am I finally got sleepy again and went back to bed. Ginny, lucky girl, was still …

Where do you even start with this day wow....

We got going around 9, the bags were pretty well packed and ready to go last night so we had a pretty easy time getting going. We said goodbye to the apartment owner and were on our way. We decided to take an alternative route back to the Med Sea than the way that we had taken in originally and …

Early Saturday morning, seven of us from the flat were stuffing our backpacks with just enough stuff to take on all of Rome's sightseeing in just two days.
