But other than that, Rome is a pretty neat and romantic place. ROMEing down the streets make you feel elegant and classy. It emits a very different air from Barcelona. The latter has a much liberal, globalised, youngster culture, while Rome is much more matured and artistic, friendly for adults and honeymoon couples HAHAHA! Would highly recommend people visiting the city to not join tours, but to walk down the streets yourselves. Do wear comfortable shoes/ sandals though, the roads are old and rocky!
For those who do not know, Rome is an excavated city and many of its buildings and artefacts are national monuments. This explains why it has museums after museums and so many archeological sites! On the other hand, Vatican City is a separate COUNTRY on its own(no it is not part of italy). Therefore if you really like art and religious structures, Rome and Vatican City will be very fun for you! You can visit Napoleon Museum (free), national galleries and the famous Galleria Borghese (remember to book in advance). Else if you are the shopping person, you can always go down to Via Condotti, Spagna to walk around and shop. Their Zara collection is one of the best I have seen in the world for both guys and girls. They are not too expensive either, compared to SG! But sorry if you are a nature person, Rome does not have much nature to offer you!
Museum hopping is really fun for us though, even though we aren’t able to fully enjoy art pieces, not when the descriptions are mostly in Italian haha. Instead of doing that, we went around creating puns (OOPS HAHA) and entertaining ourselves and friends:P Rome has plenty of archaelogical sites and one of the less touristy ones is Castel Sant’ Angelo, a castle built by Romans to defend the city. It was a back up visit for us because the National Galleries are closed but it surprised us with its fabulous view of the two cities, see my featured image. We really love this visit and it cost 10 Euros if you do not have a Roma Pass.
When it comes to food, Roman’s restaurant culture is really strong. We can’t really see fast food except one or two MacDonalds outlets at the city centre! And their restaurants are actually only famous for their specialities, I would advice not to try something out of that, cause it just sucks(my cod fish was ruined:/) Their Gelatos are real cheap too, 3-4 euros you can get about 3 scoops(legit flavors too)? What a steal right! Its dirt cheap and we had gelato every day haha! If you are on budgets, you can be like us, hunting for croissants(0.90-1 Eur with filling) or cook your own dish (we spent under 8 euros for meat, soup, veg and pasta for 2 people)
Yep, our Rome adventures have officially ended and its time to move on to a more chill town, Florence. Florence is part of the Tuscany region and we are really excited for it (google Tuscany!) if possible, i would love to bring my family to Rome haha:) Ciao, guys!
