Visit the Colosseum & Roman Forum


The Colosseum was the one cultural sight I was most looking forward to visiting. And I was not disappointed. I can tell you, I was pretty swept away by it's monstrosity, but also it's beauty. It really is breathtaking!

When in ROME

Although I have been to Italy a lot, I had never been to Rome before. So this May was the perfect time to go! My first impression of Rome was unfortunately a bit rainy. The day after we arrived it was pouring down rain in pretty regular phases. It would stop for about half an hour and then start again. Nevertheless we did not give in to the rain and went exploring the city anyway!
