TRAVEL | TWENTY-FIVE MUST DO THINGS IN ROME, ITALY

Hello everyone! Seeing as we are fast approaching the summer holidays, where we all tend to take a trip at some stage before the season is over and even if it is just getting away for a few days, it is still nice to just head off somewhere. With that in mind i thought i would share with you twenty-five must do things if you visit one of my favourite places i have ever been, which is Rome. If you are yet to visit Rome and it isn't on your must-go to list of places, then i highly recommend that you do... 

1. visit inside and outside the Colosseum

2. visit the Pantheon (it is simply beautiful)

3. visit Vatican City

4. toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain

5. visit and climb the Spanish Steps

6. try as many different Gelato's as you can (chocolate hazelnut is a must)

7. pizza for lunch, pasta for dinner is a must

8. order a cappuccino at a café (but not after 11am, any time after that is considered a no no to the Italians, after that time order an espresso)

9. visit the shops on the Piazza di Spagna (at the bottom of the Spanish steps)

10. visit the Piazza Novona (popular restaurant/café spot)

11. take in the sights at St.Peter's Square

12. visit St.Peter's Basilica

13. whilst in Vatican City, visit the Vatican Museums

14. visit the Roman Forum (located near the Colosseum)

15. visit/tour the Sistine Chapel

16. visit Villa Borghese (large beautiful park away from the city bustle)

17. climb Paletine Hill for the beautiful view

18. climb the Janiculum hill (steep but worth it for the view alone)

19. take the Pope's secret escape route at Il Passetto di Borgo

20. wander the ancient Thermal Baths at Le Terme di Caracalla

21. visit inside Santo Stefano Rotondo (the first circular church in Rome)

22. take in the sights of the Arch of Constantine (next to the Colosseum)

23. when in Europe (out of the UK anyway) always visit a Sephora

24. never skip dessert, when in Rome isn't just a saying

25. take as many pictures of the beautiful architecture as you can
