Travel Inspiration – Rome and the Vatican
The rest of Rome is no less spectacular. While some other famous sights are less impressive in person, the Colosseum is still a staggering structure to behold (perhaps a little smaller than I was expecting, but still incredible). The Trevi Fountain is also another famous sight that’s just as good in person, and there are many others, such as the Spanish Steps, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon. There are also many other incredible buildings, splendid piazzas, and beautiful fountains around every street corner – check out Piazza Navona, which has a colourful cast of street artists and performers, surrounding by those stunning Baroque buildings and fountain. The Baths of Caracalla were another favourite of mine, one of the lesser-known sights perhaps, the remains of a vast gym & spa complex. I’m also a big fan of Romantic poetry, especially John Keats, so the Keats Shelley Museum was a must-see as well! Even in two trips, Rome just has so much to see, that I still don’t feel like I’ve seen all of it!
