Rome: Exploring the Historic Marvels of Italy’s Capital City

Rome, Italy

All roads lead to …. ROME! One of the most famous destinations on everyone’s bucket list, and for good reason. I mean, what girl born in the 90’s didn’t dream of her adventure abroad to Rome, where she’s mistaken as a pop star and has a forbidden romance (hopefully not with a jerk like Paolo). Then ends up with the guy she’s meant to be with (way to hang in there Gordo). Yes, expectations are high thanks to you Lizzie McGuire. My trip may not have been straight off the Disney channel but it sure was a magical time nonetheless. The only downside is sadly at the time I wasn’t blogging so I don’t have a ton of detailed recommendations as it has been so long. If you want, here is a great 24 hour Instagrammable guide to Rome. My goal is to go back to Rome, Italy and create an in depth guide! Until then, here were my highlights we will cover:

Accommodation:

Rome has plenty of options to choose from when visiting for accommodation. You can start you search here to find the best option for you:

Hostels:

If you are more interested in parties, nightlife and having automatic meet ups then maybe a hostel is for you! Check out the options here.

Sites:

Trevi Fountain:

Obviously one of the most famous places in Rome, it was my favorite. If you like to people watch this is THE place for you. Grab yourself a gelato and a coin, head on down to the fountain, make your wish and watch it all come true while enjoying that sweet sweet Italian treat. 

Colosseum:

One of the greatest wonders of the world to me, this is a piece of history frozen in time. It’s honestly amazing to see and it transports you back to a time when Rome was truly the ruler of the world. 

Cat Ruins:

These ruins were another piece of history preserved. Now serves as a home to so many furry little friends. 

Cat Cafe:

I love to go to cat cafes any chance I get. This was my first international cat cafe! They had great coffee, fun coloring sheets and the best little hangout buddies. 

Extras:

I found a cool pyramid in the city!

There are tons of street vendors and in most places I tend to avoid them unless they’re in a market. However in Rome I was pleasantly surprised. I stumbled upon a very nice street artist. He made me an elephant painting without me ever telling him about my love for elephants!

Was a lovely trip with my cousin!
