Rome, Italy

The Colosseum | Rome | Italy

Roma! Roma! Roma! Rome is such an unbelievable place and totally stole my heart. I loved EVERY minute in this spectacular city.  We were only there for one full day and a half, so it was a short trip. We made the most of every second, and even had a little time to relax and have a beautiful rooftop dinner. If you only have a short amount of time here, don’t worry because it is totally doable to see all the major sights. You just have to plan accordingly. I knew there were certain landmarks and places I just had to see, so I made them all my top priority. I know I have to make a trip back to Rome at some point because I need to experience even more of this spectacular city. It is like stepping into a Roman movie. It is just an unbelievable place!

The Trevi Fountain was pretty spectacular to see, but then again, isn’t everything in Rome?? I loved how we got a little clip of us throwing some change in the fountain!

Piazza Del Nova | Rome

After seeing all the sights we wanted to see, we walked to the Piazza Navona area. This area was spectacular and I definitely could have stayed a bit longer. Isn’t that always the case?? We had dinner reservations at the most magnificent rooftop and I was looking forward to relaxing and seeing the sunset. It was seriously something I will never forget and may be one of the most memorable parts of my trip. If you can make a reservation, please go! This rooftop was like no other. You can see almost all of Rome and it was honestly the most magnificent skyline. I really couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s one of those things where you just feel so at peace and in awe. The rooftop is at the top of a five star hotel called, Hotel Raphaël. Go here NOW. Just book it and make your trip plans later.

XoXo Roma ❤

Again, our time was so so short in this magnificent city, so we were very limited, but we most certainly made the most of it. Read below for some sites you must see 🙂

To stay

Hotel Raphaël | 5 Star Hotel | 2 minute walk from the Piazza Navona | Hotel Raffaello | Central location close to the Colosseum and train station | best budget friendly hotel

To Do

The Colosseum | I could tour around here all day! There’s so much to see.

Walk Rome | Walk as much as you can! Go to the Altar of the Fatherland and prepare to be AMAZED. I was fascinated with this building and I know you would be too. Grab a gelato after the Altar of the Fatherland and keep on walking! Head over to the Trevi Fountain next.

Trevi Fountain | Throw a coin in the water. Total. classic. moment.

The Pantheon | Walk around and tour inside of it. It is open to the public and free!

Piazza Navona | This was one of my favorite areas  It is such a great place to walk around, grab a drink or some food, and relax.

To Eat

Hotel Raphaël | Rooftop dinner This is a pricier option for dinner but regardless if you want to eat there, you just have to experience the rooftop at least! Absolute GAME CHANGER. Experience sunset and get ready to be blown away. The Vatican in the distance (among many other sites) is not too shabby either. *Also a 2 minute walk from the Piazza Navona.

I ❤ ROMA!
