Rome, Italy





I seriously have the best husband ever!
He took us to Rome for my birthday weekend. 
Well, we went for a  Guided tour but it was definitely better than going by ourselves. 
I took too many, I mean too many pictures. 
So I will share just some highlights from our trip.
Rome is definitely a place where you really have to see it in person. 
Absolutely my favorite trip here in Italy so far.







So, Our started in Vatican city.
It's so much better to go there first thing in the morning.
It was empty but the lines were long already.
We waited in line to go inside the St. Peter's basilica.
It was free. 

The church well, pretty much some places here are very strict with outfit 
so if you are planning to get in on any of the churches you have to dress accordingly.



Waiting in line wasn't boring.
I mean, Look at this view. 









We finally got in after 2 hours!












Inside the church.







It was really awesome.
Feels good to get inside. 



Vatican city.



After that we went for walking tour.
It was busy in Rome the time we went.
I have a feeling that its always like that.










Then, we went to Piazza Navona. 



One of the thousands of Fountain in Rome.


After that we stopped for lunch. ( Here )



We kept going after lunch then headed to Colloseum!!!!








So amazing!!











Inside the colloseum.




After that we went for more walking tour.





So beautiful everywhere I look.
We checked in at the hotel and waited for Dinner! ( Here )


So much walking for one day. 
But, oh so fun!



The next morning, after breakfast we headed for Day 2 in Rome!



Our group.
It was really fun going on a group tour. 



More awesome church in Rome.






Pantheon!













After the tour. We stopped for some Gelato then went to Trevi Fountain.






Wow!
First thing we all said. 
Trevi fountain is beautiful in pictures you see online.
But, seeing it in person is priceless.
I understand now why everybody have this place on their bucketlist.















Amazing.


More walking.
There's really so much to see in Rome.
You need more than a day to see the highlights of Rome
I probably missed a lot.





French Macaroons!


One of the street performers in Rome. 
Still wondering how is he floating.






 The Crowded Spanish steps.











The view from the top was breathtaking. 
After that we had lunch ( Here )
Then headed home.
:(



What an amazing trip!
I would definitely want to come back again.

Ciao!
