| View of Vatican City from Castel Sant'Angelo |
Romeo and I vacationed in Italy because we were lucky enough to be invited by friends to their destination wedding in Rome. Who wouldn’t want to jump on the opportunity to visit one of the most historical cities in the world and attend a wedding on a rooftop overlooking the Colosseum? We started our Italy trip in Rome, where we spent five nights, which was the perfect amount of time. We continued on to the Cinque Terre and Venice, which I will also write about later.
There are many reasons to put a trip to Rome on the top of your list. There are so many familiar sights that need to be experienced in person, such as the Colosseum, Ancient Rome, and the Pantheon. The Vatican, technically a separate sovereign city-state, is an increasingly familiar sight as it has been in the news so much lately because of the newly elected Pope Francis. Rome is incredibly easy to navigate, with many sights within walking distance, and with beautiful architecture, statues, and fountains around every corner. Plus Rome is frequently a destination featured in flight deals.
