Rome, Italy: La Dolce Vita
Share
We spent six sun-kissed days exploring Rome's ancient streets, covering an impressive 7 miles a day. While it may seem daunting, walking is the ultimate way to experience this city's vibrant essence. Here are a few of our favorites.
Exploring Villa Borghese
We strolled through the beautiful Villa Borghese park, discovering its serene gardens and tranquil lake. A visit to the Temple of Aesculapius was a highlight.
Running through Rome
If you are a runner, don’t miss getting to know the city on an early run. We embarked on a thrilling run through the city, starting at Villa Borghese and ending at the Trevi Fountain. Tossing a coin into the fountain ensured my return to Rome.
Discovering Rome's Timeless Treasures
We uncovered Rome's most treasured secrets on guided tours of Vatican City and Ancient Rome. Within the Vatican, expert guides illuminated the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica, showcasing breathtaking artistry and history.
In Ancient Rome, we explored the Coliseum and Roman Forum, tracing the steps of gladiators and emperors. This unforgettable journey through time revealed the eternal city's most enduring legacy.
Sunset
Watching the sunset at Giardino degli Aranci offered breathtaking views of the city. The oranges and pinks of the setting sun danced across the rooftops.
Trastevere Charm
Wandering through Trastevere's charming streets, we discovered hidden gems and enjoyed lunch at Nanaralle. The Basilica de Santa Maria's beauty and tranquility left us in awe.
Saint Angelo's Historical Significance
A visit to the Saint Angelo Museum revealed its fascinating history and strategic importance.
Savoring Italy's Culinary Delights
Italian cuisine stole our hearts, and our taste buds! Delicious gelatos became a daily treat, with pistachio being my absolute favorite. But the real culinary surprise was All'Antico Vinaio, a hidden gem we stumbled upon and ended up visiting twice. Their mouthwatering paninis made it a standout dining experience.
