Un caffè con vista.

After spending an hour or so in the colosseo, we decided to head for our 2nd coffee of the day... or is it third?

A chic venue up a hill just north of the attraction offered a perfect spot to take in the view from a distance.Les mer

Downtown Ancient Rome - Ruins of the fallen empire

Tickets purchased for the Colosseo also gave access to Foro Romano and Palatine Hill. The excavations to clear the Roman Forum took over 100 years - and was not completed until the 20th century.

Here you'll find the ruins of several important ancient government buildings including the Regia (8th century BC), the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), the complex of the Vestal Virgins, and the Roman kingdom's earliest shrines and temples.

The Alter of the Fatherland

Also known as the national monument to Victor Emmanuel II, this gorgeous site was built in his honor as the first king of a unified Italy.

If you ascend the many steps at the building's front, you'll get stunning views of Rome from various sides - and all for free!Les mer

Pantheon

A former Roman temple that has been converted to a church. It is the most preserved and influential building of ancient Rome. It's name means "honor all Gods" in Greek, and was first built almost 2000 years ago as a temple to do just that.

Fun Fact: The dome was the largest in the world for 1300 years, and until today it remains the largest unsupported dome in the world at 142 ft diameter! As a reference point, the US capital is 96 ft in diameter. A huge architectural achievement!

Tonight, we left the tourist backpacks and dslr behind for a night out... and it was fantastic.

45€ for a huge meat and cheese plate, caprese salad, and a bottle of red. Because when in Rome, right?

Must Try: All of it.

The Vatican for the Papal Address
31. mai 2017, Vatikanet ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Checked off a bucket list item... and made 1 more.

#44 - Attend the Pope's public address in person ✔
...
#62 - Bring my child to the Pope's address so his/her forehead can get kissed by the Pope

The line was massive to get into the square. For future reference, highly recommend getting to the Vatican early (7 am) to get through security and get seats in front of St. Peter's Basilica. We got to the Vatican around 8 am, and it was already packed.

The Pope's address starts around 10 am, and he rides in on a cart that weaves between aisles beforehand for crowd interaction. A great opportunity to get a high five!Les mer

31. mai 2017, Vatikanet ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We decided to leave the Pope's public address a little early to beat the crowds to the Vatican Museum - and it worked!

My absolute favorite piece in the Vatican museum was Raphael's "The School of Athens" (1509-1511) where famous minds and artists are depicted in one scene. Some that have been identified with certainty include Plato and Aristotle (in the painting's center), Socrates, Pythagoras, Euclid, Ptolemy, Zoroaster, Raphael (self portrait), Sodoma and Diogenes. This painting was not intended to represent a school that actually existed, but rather an ideal community of intellects from the entire classical world.

Pro Tip: Use Rick Steves' Vatican Museum audio tour

Capella Sistina
31. mai 2017, Vatikanet ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
There are no words. Absolutely stunning.

On the ceiling and walls of the chapel are the beautiful works of Michealangelo that took 4 years to complete (1508-1512). This is arguably one of mankind's greatest artistic achievements, depicting various scenes from the Christian bible.

Today, the Sistine chapel is the site of the Papal conclave (where the new Pope is selected).

Fun fact: Michealangelo allegedly preferred sculpting over painting, and had to be coerced by Pope Julius II with a lucrative commission of sculpting 40 massive figures for the Pope's tomb in return for taking on the Sistine chapel.
