Rome, the eternal city, the most beautiful city in the world, history that can be perceived at every step, I am madly in love with this city.<\/p>\n
In Rome there are many things to visit and getting to know Rome intimately, visiting all the most beautiful places in a single day is impossible. But many times it happens to be in Rome for a short time and since there are so many things to see, you never know how to start and where to start.<\/p>\n
When I was living in Rome, my brother and sister in law came here for 1 day and I took them on a tour of the city,\u00a0 including the most important and popular stops, so a short supercial tour is very feasible.<\/p>\n
How to move in Rome<\/span><\/p>\n The usual advice is to walk and move on foot, to better discover the city and capture all its beauty, many points can be reached on foot without problems, for others further away you can fold with the subway.<\/p>\n To go faster and move from stages that are at a significant distance from each other, I recommend the subway, in Rome we find line A (red) and line B (blue), which touch the most important points of the our route, especially line A.<\/p>\n I strongly advise against taking the buses, slow, inconstant and often late, and if you find traffic, goodbye. As for taxis, they are not overpriced, but Rome’s taxi drivers are not all honest, so be careful.<\/p>\n Departure from Ottaviano line A.<\/p>\n Majestic like few others, the masterpiece can be admired immediately upon entering the square consisting of the large colonnade and the basilica in the background. The dimensions of the fa\u00e7ade are admirable, over 114 meters wide and over 45 meters high. The dome reaches 133 meters in height with 537 steps that allow you to get to the top, where a wonderful 360 degree panorama of Rome opens up.<\/p>\n The only factor that will slow down your tour will be the controls and the queue of tourists that you may or may not find, go there early in the morning, you will certainly avoid waiting in line.<\/p>\n opening hours:<\/span><\/p>\n winter 1 October – 31 March – from 7.00 to 18.30<\/em><\/p>\n summer 1st April – 30th September – from 7.00 to 19.00<\/em><\/p>\n remember that access to the Vatican Basilica is allowed to people with decent clothing appropriate to the sacred place.<\/em><\/p>\n Immediately after St. Peter’s Basilica, walk along Via della Conciliazione and in front of you you will find Castel Sant Angelo, built around 123 AD as a sepulcher for the emperor Hadrian and his family, the view from above the castle is wonderful and I would add romantic. , you can admire the Sant’Angelo bridge in all its splendor.<\/p>\n Hours:<\/span><\/p>\n Every day from 9.00 to 19.30.<\/em><\/p>\n Cost:<\/span><\/p>\n Crossing the Ponte Sant’Angelo and taking V. dei Coronari<\/em> we will find ourselves in front of Piazza Navona, one of the most beautiful baroque squares. The most fascinating elements of Piazza Navona are the three fountains, the Fountain of the Four Rivers, the Fontana del Moro, the Fountain of Neptune.<\/em><\/p>\n The Phanteon is one of the most important testimonies of the Roman Empire, a Roman temple dedicated to all the Gods. The dome is famous for its large hole in the center, called the “oculus”, the only source of light in the whole building. The Pantheon was designed so that a ray of sunlight, during the summer solstice, at noon,\u00a0 penetrated from the oculus and hit the access portal. This shows the close link between the Phanteon and the sky, home of all the gods.<\/p>\n The legend says that the hole in the dome, in ancient times, was sealed with a large bronze pine cone that the devils had transported to Rome, and that when Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon as a church,\u00a0 the evil spirits fled from the oculus, taking away the bronze pine cone.<\/p>\n Timetables<\/span><\/p>\n Just two streets ahead, we will have in front of us the wonderful Trevi Fountain, one of the most beautiful works ever, whenever I see it I am always enchanted both by day,\u00a0 is\u00a0 shrouded in night lights, it never disappoints. The Trevi Fountain is the terminal element of the Virgin Aqueduct, one of the oldest Roman aqueducts still in use today, the setting for numerous film sets, including\u00a0 The Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini. Also known as the fountain where people throw their coins, this is connected to the legend born in 1954 with the movie “Three Coins in the Fountain” which reads:<\/p>\n The coin must be thrown with the right hand over the left shoulder, and must not be seen to fall. Each year about one and a half million euros are taken from the fountain to be allocated until 31 December 2018 to the pastoral arm of the CEI.<\/p>\n A 15-minute walk to Piazza dei Fiori, have an aperitif in the typical colorful bars overlooking the square, nearby you will find the famous Altare della Patria. AND’\u00a0 one of the\u00a0 most important monuments in the history of Italy<\/strong> , the Risorgimento and the Savoy monarchy. This building represents\u00a0la Patria<\/strong> : on both sides, where the sun rises and sets, there are two fountains representing the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas. The fountains mark the “boundaries” of the monument as well as the two seas delimit the Italian Peninsula. In the center of the altar\u00a0 instead there is the king Vittorio Emanuele II. the interior of the Vittoriano<\/strong>\u00a0 can be visited for free you will find several interesting museums such as the\u00a0 shrine of flags<\/strong> , the\u00a0Risorgimento museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n Going along the Via dei Foro Imperiali, you arrive directly at the Colosseum. The largest amphitheater in Rome was built by Vespasian in the early years of his reign (69-79 AD). was considered one of the symbols of our country, and placed both in the list of\u00a0World Heritage Sites by UNESCO<\/strong>\u00a0 than in that of the new seven wonders of the world.<\/p>\n Attention:<\/strong><\/span> In the Colosseum it is forbidden to bring camping backpacks, bulky bags and trolleys, medium and small shoulder backpacks may be introduced, which must in any case be subjected to control with the metal detector.<\/em><\/p>\n One of the most evocative squares in Rome, with the great staircase of Trinit\u00e0 dei Monti which makes it its main feature. It was built in 1726 on a project by De Sanctis, the artist’s intention was to create both a staircase that took the place of the paths along the grassy slope of the Pincio, and that it could become a meeting place for all citizens. In fact, even today, the staircase is a meeting place and therefore called “the living room of Rome”<\/em>\u00a0 In spring the staircase reaches its maximum splendor when it is covered with azaleas, making it even more magical and romantic.<\/p>\n From Piazza di Spagna, you can take Via dei Condotti, the most famous Roman street for its various shops of the most unbridled luxury, the signs you will read will be Gucci, Prada,<\/em> Armani, Fendi, Louis Vuiton, Bulgari and Valentino<\/em> . But the street I prefer most is the one that makes the corner of via Condotti and that, following it to the end, leads to Via del Corso in the center of Piazza del Popolo. Via del corso is always lively, and if you are looking for something, there, in that mix of shops and stalls, you will find it.<\/p>\n Piazza del Popolo is also known as the Trident (via del\u00a0 Babuino\u00a0 –\u00a0 Via del Corso\u00a0 –\u00a0 via di Ripetta). In the center of the square the so-called obelisk dominates “Flaminio”<\/em> the height reaches 23.20 meters and presents the hieroglyphs of Seti I defined“he who fills Heliopolis with obelisks because their rays can illuminate the temple of Ra”.\u00a0<\/em>It was the first obelisk to be transferred to Rome, at the time of Augustus (in 10 BC), to celebrate the conquest of Egypt. At its feet was the Trullo fountain, the work of Giacomo Della Porta.<\/p>\n Piazza del Popolo is dominated by the most important panoramic terrace known as the Pincio<\/strong> .<\/em> The Pincio is part of one of the largest green villas in Rome, Villa Borghese. You can access it via a path, with or without steps, located on the same level as the square. Once you get to the top, you can admire the breathtaking Roman panorama.<\/p>\n This route is feasible on foot, and the journey is quite simple. If you have any curiosity or information on where to eat and where not, do not hesitate to contact. I hope\u00a0 to have been useful, I wish you a fun stay in Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rome, the eternal city, the most beautiful city in the … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-italy","latest_post"],"yoast_head":"\nSt. Peter’s Square<\/span><\/h3>\n
