Italy Free Tour: Rome City Walk!

[Trunk] - Rome Traveling to Europe has always been my dream, and as my first country to visit, I chose Italy without hesitation! And Rome is the beginning of the dream! [Like] This time I started from Rome, passed through the Vatican, Florence, Pisa, and finally arrived in Venice. Each city is full of the weight of history and the aesthetic charm of its architecture, which makes me linger. I have visited all the attractions I have always dreamed of visiting, and I have no regrets in my life! [Shy][Heart] First stop: Rome Rome, the Eternal City, is a paradise for architecture lovers. From the magnificent architecture of ancient Rome to the exquisite designs of the Renaissance, every bit of it amazed me. **1. Colosseum [Gym] and Roman Forum** One of Rome's most iconic buildings, the Colosseum is the pinnacle of ancient Roman architecture. This huge amphitheater was built in 80 AD and could accommodate more than 50,000 spectators. Standing on the arena of the Colosseum, I seemed to hear the cheers of the ancient Roman audience and the shouts of the gladiators. The structural design of the Colosseum is very ingenious. The combination of arches and columns is not only beautiful, but also serves as a support, allowing the entire building to still stand after thousands of years of wind and rain. The Roman Forum, one of the most important public spaces in ancient Rome, was also the political, religious, commercial and social center of the Roman Empire. It is located between the Palatine Hill and the Capitoline Hill in the center of Rome and is one of the symbols of ancient Roman civilization. 2. Pantheon The Pantheon is another masterpiece of ancient Roman architecture, built in 126 AD. The temple was originally built to worship all the gods, but now it is a church. The dome design of the Pantheon is breathtaking. With a diameter of 43.3 meters, it is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. The circular opening (oculus) in the center of the dome not only provides natural light for the interior, but also symbolizes the connection between God and man. Standing in the Pantheon, the sunlight shines through the oculus, as if time has stopped at this moment. **3. Trevi Fountain** The Trevi Fountain is the most famous Baroque fountain in Rome and was built in the 18th century. The statue of Neptune, the god of the sea, in the center of the fountain is lifelike, surrounded by various mythological figures and animals. It is said that if you throw a coin into the fountain with your back to it and make a wish, your dream will come true. When I passed by that day, there happened to be a couple, and the boy proposed to the girl. This scene was so romantic that all the tourists cheered and sent their blessings to them🥰. 4. Piazza di Spagna Piazza di Spagna is one of the most popular squares in Rome and was the filming location for Roman Holiday. Known for its famous Spanish Steps. The staircase has 135 steps, connecting the square to the Basilica of the Holy Trinity (Trinità dei Monti) on the hill. The Baroque-style fountain "Fountain of the Broken Ship" on the square is currently being rebuilt and repaired. Those who were born to be cattle and horses, go and see those who were born in Rome! [Salute] All roads lead to Rome, and Rome has my footprints🦶 📝Note tips: There are free drinking water points in Rome, which offer both carbonated and still water. However, the water quality in Rome is poor and hard, and white minerals will precipitate after boiling. In addition, for those of us who don't speak the language, the translation software also has errors. We went to the restaurant and ordered pasta, but ended up getting a plate of pork slices [Embarrassed] (14 Euros). The restaurant charges a per person fee of 1-2 Euros.
