Vatican City, Rome

I have been to Rome about 2 years ago, that was just couple of months after I graduated and started working. Couldn't believe that it was already 2 years, still feels like last year.

Anyway, we fly from London to Venice and then fly from Venice to Rome 3 days after.

Vatican City, Rome

This was the first place we visited after arriving in Rome, the Vatican City.

Vatican City, Rome

We were lucky enough to be there at the right time as the Pope was about to give a speech.

Vatican City, Rome

Thousands of thousands of people were waiting at the square just in the middle of the Vatican City.

Vatican City, Rome

Look closer, you should be able to see the Pope.

Rome

Some buildings just next to the Vatican City which is also in the city centre of Rome.

Castel St. Angelo, Rome

The Castel St. Angelo which is just within walking distance from the Vatican City, so you don't really need to the metro.

Fontana di Trevi

The famous Trevi di Fontana (Trevi Fountain), throw a coin and make a wish.

Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II, Rome

The Monumento Vittorio Emanuele II is a very spectacular monument standing proudly in the centre of Rome's city centre.

More photos coming up, stay tuned.

sharon(^.^): Rome is your dream place? You should look at Santorini then :) But it really depends on what you prefer. If you like buildings/architecture then Rome would be quite a good place. if you love sceneries/beaches then Santorini would be better.

Vian: yeah that's right. But i think you are very lucky to travel around Europe. Seems like you have travelled a few other countries too!

sandra: did they? haha.... so why wait? start saving now :P
