Seventh stop: ROME



Seventh stop:  ROME

          Welcome to the one of the most popular European cities! Not without reason it’s called The Great Beauty because actually every, even the smallest, building or a square took part in many historical events and that’s why now it’s full or memories and mysteries. For sure, everyone starts visiting Rome from well-known monuments and for this reason I’m not going to talk about The Colosseum, The Roman Forum, The Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, The Circus Maximus etc. I prefer sharing with you some of my tips just to help you to discover the whole beauty of this city.



If you’re skyline lovers, and I hope you’re :), you should definitely go up stairs to the The Basilica of St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven, it’s just between The Capitoline Hill and The Altare della Patria. From this point you can admire many rooftops of the city, including Castel Sant’Angelo and St.Peter’s Basilica. By the way, it’s worth to go in the back of the Capitoline Hill because from this place you can see the breathtaking  view of Foro Romano and Colosseo. Then you need to go to the Villa Borghese Gardens, the huge park in the city centre, and there you’ll find two lookout points. It’s definitely my favourite place to see the sunset in the Rome!


What’s more, if you’re hungry, the best idea for the fast and delicious dinner are always pieces of different kind of pizzas selling in every corner of the eternal city. Be prepared that it’s almost impossible to find shopping centres and toilets in the city centre. That’s why if you want to go shopping, you can go on Via del Corso Street because there are many shops but to find some mall, you need to go on the edge of the city. And if it goes about the toilets, the best idea is to use those situated in the bars but remember that first you always need to buy something there and then you can enter to the toilet.


In the end, I just would like to aware you that Rome is full of thieves, that’s why always keep your money and document in the safe pocket. Additionally, there're not enough trash cans, that's why they're overflowing and as a result, the city is quite cluttered. What’s more, I don’t recommend you visiting the eternal city in the summer (June, July, August) because there’re a lot of tourists and every place is crowded, moreover every single day is really hot, so it’s impossible enjoying your trip because of the terrible heat.
