#rometrip This trip just gets better! so much to do and to see in Rome. The equestrian statue is located between the colosseum and the trevi fountain. Enrico Chiaradia is the sculpture of this masterpiece, which represent a neo-classical building showing a beautiful bronze horse with Vittorio Emanuele 2. It is really nice to climb to the top besides the steps, because it will take you to see an amazing view of Rome. Both to climb and to see the monument is completely FREE.

This is a must-see historic site in Rome, Italy, the Altar of the Fatherland and the Piazza del Campidoglio! The white building is the Altar of the Fatherland! When I looked up from below, the white sculptures and buildings against the blue sky looked really magnificent! I think it was even more beautiful when I saw it around sunset..! The Piazza del Campidoglio was built by Michelangelo, and you can get there by going up the hill! The white and apricot-colored building you see when you go up the square is called Palazzo Senatorio, and it is still used as the city council of Rome~! Isn't it amazing that a building built during Michelangelo's time is still actively used today!? Roman architecture that goes well with the cloudless Italian sky.. I think it's the best place for people who like taking pictures😍 I want to go there again soon when I can travel again🥺 #ItalyTravel #RomeTravel #SoloTravel #YearEndTravel #AltarOfThePatriarch #PiazzaCampidoglio #Piazza #Architecture #PhotoSpot #TravelGuideBook #BeginnerPhotographer #MustSeeHistoricalPlaces

Often derided by locals, the monument to a unified Italy’s first King Victor Emmanuel II clearly divides opinion amongst both Romans and visitors. Even in the gaudy architectural style is not to your taste and its placing amongst Rome’s historical treasures on the Palatine hill, the view of the eternal city after the climb to the top is reason enough alone to put this on your Rome plan.

The Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king who unified Italy, began construction in 1885 and was completed in 1911. The monument features a large open terrace at the top and inside, there are carvings that tell the story of Italy's unification. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. This area is open to the public for free.

I visited the majestic Victor Emmanuel II Monument in the heart of Rome. This grand and beautiful monument was truly a dazzling sight. This architectural masterpiece pays tribute to Italy's first unified king with its black sculptures, bronze horses, and plush building design, all of which exceeded my expectations. I toured the two lower levels and enjoyed the splendid view of Rome from the top of the monument. Gaining a comprehensive perspective of this ancient and enchanting city was an utterly amazing experience.

📍Altar of the Fatherland: Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy ✔️ It is said to have been built to commemorate the hero who unified Italy, Emanuele II. The altar has fires burning on both sides that are said to not go out easily. ​✔️ If you take the elevator up, you can see the whole view of Rome. The entrances were both above and behind the photo. My friend who lives in Rome and went with me said that he has never tried that entrance, but he said that you can go up this way and buy a ticket to go up to the observation deck. ​✔️ Admission is free, but you have to buy a separate ticket to take the elevator up to the observation deck. #EuropeTravel #AltarOfTheFatherland #RomeTravel

Rome City Tour Course Recommendation - 2🏃🏻‍♀️ ⠀ 1️⃣2️⃣Altar of the Fatherland - I recommend going up the stairs because you can see the whole of Rome at a glance! ⠀ 3️⃣4️⃣Trevi Fountain - There are a lot of people, so watch out for pickpockets!! 📸 Tip ✏️ If you go early in the morning before sunrise (around 7:20 in winter), there will be no people, and you can capture the pink Trevi as if it were a sunset (We tried to try it too, but we failed because we were very sleepy in the morning..🤦🏻‍♀️) ✏️ If you take a picture from the right pillar, you can take a picture with as few people as possible! ⠀ 5️⃣6️⃣Piazza di Spagna -Roman Holiday filming location (Famous for the scene where Audrey Hepburn eats ice cream on the stairs) ⭐️After that, many people imitated it and it became so messy that now you are fined for eating or sitting on these stairs! (The police are actually guarding it🧑🏻‍✈️) ⠀ 7️⃣Piazza Navona ⠀ 8️⃣-🔟St. Peter's Basilica 📸The view from the bridge to the cathedral (📍Ponte Umberto I) is also amazing! I recommend it during sunset or night view~(We also went at sunset, but it was a shame because it was cloudy🥲) ⠀ #RomeCityTour #RomeCity #RomeCityTravel #RomeTravelCourse #TunggleTour #TunggleTour_Rome #AltarOfThePatriot #AltarOfThePatriotObservatory #altaroffatherland #TreviFountain #TreviFountain⛲ #trevifountain #Piazzadispagna #PiazzanaNavona #piazzanavona #St.Peter'sBasilica #petersbasilica #HotPlace #Couples #CityTravel #LifeShotPlace
