Photo diary Rome
As promised here is my Rome photo diary.
Rome is a city i wanted to go since a very long time already. Mainly because i wanted to see the Vatican and the Colosseum but i have to say that i couldn’t imagine how the city would look like. Thanks to the Mobile App Hotel Tonight (you can download it here), my dream finally came true. I boarded my flight last wednesday morning without knowing where i would sleep. Indeed, the concept of Hotel tonight is that you can find great hotel deals for the very same day (it is possible to book a room for several day though and all room are available for two). Once arrived at the airport in Rome, i finally booked a room at the Abitart Hotel near to the station Ostiensee, that is not in the historic center (rooms are extremly expensive there) but also not too far away (2stops).
Right after we arrived at the hotel we started walking around in Rome and let me tell you this city is breathtaking!! It is for a reason that we call it the “Eternal City” or that we say “Rome wasn’t build in a day”.
This city is so beautiful that it is now No 1 on my list of most beautiful city in the world (Sorry Madrid you are now No2). There is something to discover on every corner. See my pictures below.
Tipps for Rome :
- We stayed 4 days but 4 days isn’t enough if you truly want to enjoy this city. I’d rather recommand to stay at least, if you can afford it, 6 days.
- If you want to visit the Colosseum and the Vatican (worth it), it is said in every guide to buy your tickets in the internet and this is not a joke. By buying our tickets on the internet we had no queue at all and saved lotsssss of time!!
- To eat, some of my italian friends recommended me to try the Rome pasta speciality : Pasta Caccia E Peppe (caccia is a chefs and Peppe means pepper).
They also gave me some good addresses :
Tudini : Via Principe Amedeo, 23
Sorpasso : Via Properzio, 31-33
Ristorante da Meo Patacca : Piazza dei Mercanti, 30
-For shopping : you will find all great italian brands next to Plaza Sapgna. Luxury Brands : Via dei Condotti High street brands : Via del Corso
and if you like hats, don’t forget to visit one of the Borsalino shops!
- Last but not least : don’t use the subway. Rome isn’t that big so you better walk or you would miss half of the city if you take the subway.
