I have always wanted to go to Italy, and a trip to the capital Rome seemed like a good start. Last Thursday, it was finally time to pack our bags and leave on a jet plane to this remarkable European metropolis. Rome met all our expectations, and although it rained two days while we were there, we were also able to enjoy three sunny days. Coming from cold Gothenburg, there the ground is still covered by a blanket of snow, it surely felt good to walk around in a spring coat and sipping cappuccinos at the patios of Romes picturesque coffee shops.
Rome is one of Europe's oldest cities and it was founded over 2700 years ago. The city has been of great importance to the world, and sights like Forum, Colosseum and the Pantheon stand like great reminders of the golden, Ancient days, when Rome was the capital of the world. In the city, you will find buildings from two decades and to walk around the streets of Roma is like walking back in history. I was swept of my feet when I first went to see Forum and the Palatino, which ruins still stand and date back to the antiquity. I was equally impressed by St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, which is the church of all churches and truly spectacular. The Vatican Museums hold an amazing amount of works of art, and not only were Kent and I impressed by the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo but also by Stanze di Raffaello.
We loved Rome and I am sure that we will return to this amazing city one day. To be sure of this, we throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, as to ensure that we will one day come back. Oh, and by the way, we stayed at a little hotel situated by Via de Boccacio, just a stone's throw from the Trevi, which is by all means the largest fountain in Rome!
