Colosseum

The Colosseum is simply the most important attraction in all of Europe. The actual definition of majesty, the epitome of grandeur.

An incredibly breath-taking showcase of architecture and a monument so enormous it’s going ot take your breath away – the Colosseum is simply lavish. It’s where the most important aspects of Roman life took place and it’s really worth exploring.

Fontana di Trevi

If you’ve ever read about Rome, watched a movie about Rome or even heard about it, chances are you’ve come across the Fontana di Trevi. Magical white marble created a fantasy-like atmosphere with azure waters that hold promises of happy endings. The Baroque art juxtaposed with the sculptures of the Gods, and the horses create a beautiful atmosphere as well and make way for great picture opportunities!

Vatican City

The smallest country in the world is located only a few minutes away from the bustling city of Rome. It’s an essential experience to have while in Rome (or in Italy in general) and the experience will be nothing short of soul-stirring and incredible. Think holiday buildings, churches that are lavishly decorated, the Vatican museum with Egyptian mummies and art from the Renaissance period, the Sistine chapel and much more!

St Peter’s Basilica

This is the star attraction of the Vatican, the largest church in the entire world. No words can describe the ultimate lavishness of the decorated interiors with the huge glass-stained windows, the Baroque arts, the large edifices, and the frescoes. You’ll find golden angels, and paintings and you can even climb up the dome for gorgeous panoramas of Rome when you’re done.

The Roman Forum

The Roman Forum feels like falling into a history book. Once the greatest sight in all of Europe and the heart of Rome in the past, this place is where you go to really get educated about the rich history and culture of Rome. There are so many things you can see, and you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to picture possibilities.
