Worthwhile Italy trip

Colosseo is a great place of interest to visit. It was quite hot since early June in Rome, and the crowd was big. It is worthwhile to see the historical records from the architecture. The queue was efficient despite a large crowd of visitors. If you want to take photos for the best quality, I highly recommend you to walk upstairs to the Level 1 and find a preferred spot. Moreover, it will be ideal if you can bring yourself a bottle of chilled water in case of faint. If you have time, go ahead for the Mons Palatinus and the Old Roman Plaza for a bird view of the city. It is splendid when you climb up and see the combination of modern metropolis and old heritage. Another famous spot I recommend is the Fountain of Trevi. It is always crowded all day long. You need to wait in line if you want to take photos close to the fountain. In addition, it’s only few minutes walk away from here to the Piazza di Spagna, where you can see the filming spot of the famous film Roman Holiday. There are some stores down the street with local brands. It takes only 30-minutes bus trip to the Roma Termini where you can travel to the FCO airport or other destinations in Italy. Italian people are mostly welcoming and hospitable. I enjoyed my trip there with more passion to explore other interesting places in the future.#travel #rome #italy #colosseum_rome_

Rome in a Day: Culture, Shopping, and Ancient Wonders 🏛️🛍️☀️ Ready for an amazing Roman adventure? Enjoy Western-style architecture and outdoor cultural landscapes as you hop between legendary sites, shop till you drop, and soak up those sunny city vibes! With a Rome hop-on-hop-off bus, getting around is a breeze—maximise your time and see it all. Start at the iconic Colosseum (Piazza del Colosseo, 1)—snap insta-worthy close-ups of those epic arches and don’t miss the view with the Arch of Constantine right beside it for double the photo power! Tickets cost 175.0, so grab yours early and note that admissions end an hour before closing. Be sure to arrive before 11 AM to beat both the crowds and the midday rush. Next, cruise by Piazza Venezia for jaw-dropping modern architecture and people-watching galore. Snap some horse-and-carriage shots, then stroll to Trevi Fountain (Piazza di Trevi)—get your coin toss video at sunrise for magical light and fewer tourists. From there, swing by the whimsical Fontana Barcaccia at Piazza di Spagna—a tranquil spot that’s perfect for reflecting and outdoor photography. Shopping tip: The areas between Piazza Venezia and Piazza di Spagna are shopping heaven! Look for designer stores and local boutiques just off the main squares. Personal tip: Stay alert for pickpockets, especially in crowded zones or near major landmarks—keep your bag zipped and close. The hop-on-hop-off bus is a lifesaver, letting you skip the hassle and travel door-to-door across all attractions. #Rome #CityExploration #CultureTrip #PhotoSpots #TravelTips#travel #daisydayah
