Picture one: When you've covered the Coliseum you should walk over to Areo di Tito and Palatino, which is included in your Coliseum ticket. his picture is taken from the walk over there. Mighty, ey ? ヅ

The opening hours vary throughout the year, so be sure to check it out before you go!

Picture two: Acro di Tito and Palatino. Walk among amazing ruins! This place is included in your Coliseum ticket and for sure worth a visit!

It's not really marked out what the different ruins once were, so just let your imagination flow! It's more fun that way too ヅ

Picture three: Acro di Costantino, by night! Located on the square by the Coliseum. It's pretty ヅ

Picture four: Sunset at the Coliseum. We were going to a restaurant close by the Coliseum one night and it was an amazing sunset. Rome sure is fantastic!

Picture one: What is there to say ? When in Rome! ヅ Found this on a wall close to the Coliseum!

Picture two: Via Appia Antica. This was the most important road to get to Rome from the south, you know, back in the day. ヅ

We were going to the Catacombs of San Callisto. Among the (more than) 60 catacombs surrounding Rome the Catacombs of San Callisto are particularly important because of its extent and its depth, the large number of tombs, inscriptions and paintings of the diversity and richness, papal crypts and other martyr's crypts.

It was both interesting and boring to be honest! It was kind of creepy going under ground like that, being surrounded by tombs... But the air was very bad down there, and the lady who were supposed to be an English speaking guide... well... Her accent was so terrible, it was almost impossible to hear what she said. I can't remember what we paid for it, but it wasn't worth it. And we weren't allowed to take any pictures under ground OR in the surrounding areas, which was actually quite beautiful.... But at least I could take pictures of Via Appia... ヅ

Picture three: Campo dé Fiori (Field of flowers or the square of flowers). This little cozy square is an open spot between Piazza Farnese and Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. Before noon every day a market is held here, and it is absolutely worth a visit! They have everything from flowers, meat, fish to fruit and vegetables and pasta, pesto and olive oil! And in the evening it's a cosy place to just hang out and relax.

There are several pubs around too, and there are plenty of people going around wanting you to join them for a Pub crawl - which is awesome by the way (more of that later) ヅ.

And to share some gross history about this place; the square was sometimes used for executions (but the most common execution location in Rome was close to Ponte Sant'Angelo.

Picture four: Area Sacra di Largo Argentina, by night! ヅ

Picture two: Rich, Em and I are out and about exploring the city! ヅ

Picture three: Colonna Traiana is a Roman triumphal column, which commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. The structure is about 30 meters (98 ft) in height, 35 meters (125 ft) including its large pedestal.

The shaft is made from a series of 20 colossal Carrara marble drums, each weighing about 32 tons.

The freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief, that artistically describes the epic wars between the Romans and Dacians(101–102 and 105–106). Its design has inspired numerous victory columns, both ancient and modern.

Picture four: I took this picture while strolling around in the Sistine Chapel. Gorgeous, huh ? ヅ
