When in Rome....

After spending only a weekend in Rome, Italy, I am a strong believer that everyone should at some point make a trip to Rome!  The combination of food, sights, shopping and weather should not be missed.  I could go on and on describing everything I loved about Rome, but it would be hard for me to do it justice.  Instead I will try to bring you as close as I can to my favorite sights with pictures from my wonderful weekend.


The Coliseum would be hard to miss when in Rome due to how large and spectacular it is.  I suggest taking a tour, the history behind this famous landmark is incredible!


The Spanish Steps are a great place to people watch or to grab a quick bite to eat.  The steps are beautiful in themselves and when walking to the top it’s nice to look out at the city.


The Trevi fountain is the most beautiful fountain you will ever see.  Throw 3 coins into the fountain for good luck and you’ll return to Rome!






The Vatican- If you’re interested in art take a tour of the Vatican, if arts are not your thing walking around on your own will do the trick. The Sistine Chapel and St. Peters Basilica are breathtaking. 


The food in Rome is absolutely delicious.  My favorite restaurant of the weekend was L’archetto, a restaurant near the Trevi fountain; it’s off the beaten path but has the best pasta you will ever eat!



If you haven't been to Rome yet put it on the top of your list of places to travel!!
