I only used my Colosseum ticket, and the reservation confirmation was quick and convenient. It was hassle-free. Please arrive 15 minutes early for entry; do not be late, otherwise your ticket will be considered expired and invalid.
We chose the afternoon session, and the sun was just right, making it a great place for photos. Our guide, Liu, was professional and well-organized, even telling us where to get free water. 😂 He also took a group photo for us, which was very thoughtful. The whole trip was a pleasure!

Everyone has to visit the Pantheon in their lifetime. I am in shock that something so magnificent could be built in 126 AD and remain is such remarkable condition. The exterior is incredibly imposing with grand columns holding up the structure. The interior consists of a single perfectly symmetrical circular space with an enormous dome. There are beautiful columns, sculptures, and paintings everywhere. It was originally a Pagan temple and symbol of Rome’s power, but became a church that is in use to this day. There is a huge high alter near the front, built in the early 18th century. All the pagan statues and artwork were removed and replaced with ones honoring to Christianity. Everything in this building is perfectly symmetrical with three sets of columns on each side flanked with artwork in the middle. Every bit of architecture from the floor to the ceiling is so intricate. The marble floor is from three different countries. The red is from Egypt, the white is from Asia Minor.

Witness Rome's evolving fortress
Panoramic Rome & Vatican views

As soon as I approached the scenic spot, I was attracted by the angel sculptures on both sides of the bridge. When entering Castel Sant'Angelo, you must go to the top to have a look, where you can overlook many ancient monuments on the other side of the river, including a corner of the Colosseum. In addition, the sandwiches at the Central Cafe are good and cheap, but you have to sit there to eat. If the sun is strong, it will be too hot and there is basically no shade.
## Amber of Time and Space: The Prismatic Light of Castel Sant'Angelo
When the waves of the Tiber River lift up the round fortress with a bronze angel on its head, you have stepped into the most bizarre time capsule in Rome - here are the remains of emperors, the sighs of prisoners, the power of the pope and the madness of artists. Don't be fooled by the fairy-tale appearance, every tuff of the castle is soaked with the blood of historical paradoxes.
**Whisper of the Dead in the Secret Passage** (Must-see!)
Enter the underground palace of the original site of Hadrian's Mausoleum, and the mobile phone flashlight illuminates the brick vault in 139 AD. Suddenly touched the wall: a six-pointed star is stacked next to the cross, and there is a line below "1527.5.6" - when the Medici Pope was besieged, the Jewish doctor prayed at this moment. When the cold wind blows over the back of the neck, the smell of wax and rotten wood floats in the darkness, which is the residual fragrance of the refugees burning furniture for warmth. Climb to the top floor and look back from the pedestal of the angel statue. The secret passage is like a giant snake drilling into the Vatican wall. The footsteps of Clement VII who fled along this bloody road are still echoing on the stone wall.
**The light and shadow epic of the spiral ramp** (shocking details)
Spinning up the slope where the coffin was transported in ancient times, a small window suddenly cracked in the stone wall: at 12 noon, the sun pierced in like a golden spear, casting a complete triumphal arch of light on the wall! Looking closely at the edge of the light spot, the dents made by the iron chains of medieval prisoners are embedded with a few glass beads from the Renaissance (left over by nobles visiting the prison). Walking to the ruins of the crossbow platform, the window frame cleverly frames the dome of St. Peter's Basilica - Bernini's design scheme is revealed here: Castel Sant'Angelo is the shield of the Vatican, and it is also the visual coordinate axis of the game of power.
**The torture ballet of the Angel Bridge** (beautiful moment)
Run to the bank of the Tiber River after sunset. Twelve armed angels carved by Bernini's apprentices gradually light up in the twilight: when the eyes of the fifth angel "holding a crown of thorns" reflect the first star, the whole bridge suddenly turns into a mobile theater. Take a closer look at the gesture of Angel II holding a spear: the shadow of the spear tip just points to the ventilation hole of the castle dungeon - a dramatic freeze frame of the prison escapee being betrayed by the moonlight one night in 1574.
**Prisoner's Poem on the Terrace Star Map** (Soul Crit)
Stay overnight at the top terrace cafe, and look up at the bronze angel after the tourists have dispersed: the tip of its sword always points to the direction of the comet. Using the mobile phone star map APP to compare, it is discovered that the angle of the angel's wings is locked to the position of Saturn on May 6, 1527 - the day the city was broken! Even more terrifying is the arrow hole array on the south wall: the moonlight passes through the holes and projects the cipher score of Dante's "Divine Comedy" on the ground (a secret creation of modern monks).
Sit on the east wing turret at midnight and watch the last tram pass the Holy Spirit Bridge. The moment the carriage lights swept across the castle's outer wall, the bullet-riddled wall suddenly appeared - the bullet holes where the Nazis shot guerrillas here in 1944 were repaired by vines into green crosses. At this time, I drank the remaining wine in the glass, and the sound of the imperial death knell and the harp of the Renaissance were intertwined in the wind. The most fatal charm of Castel Sant'Angelo is that it makes you stand at the critical point of blood and beauty: when the first swift swoops down in the morning light to peck at the dew on the tip of the bronze angel's sword, you will understand - Rome's immortality is precisely because it always walks a tightrope between ruins and rebirth

The Miracle Square is located in the northwest corner of Pisa, Italy. It is a walled area and is famous for the complex on the square. It contains four complexes: 1. Pisa Cathedral: Founded in 1063, it is a representative work of medieval Roman architecture. The mosaic decoration inside the church blends Byzantine style and forms a unique "Pizza Roman style". 2. Leaning Tower of Pisa : As an iconic building in the square, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a unique clock tower, which is tilted due to poor basic handling, becoming a world architectural wonder. 3. St. John's Baptist Church: Built in 1153, it is a circular building known for its magnificent dome and exquisite decorative art. 4. Cemetery Square : Built in the second half of the 13th century, it is a rectangular marble building with beautiful hollowed-out arcades and sculptures inside.
[Piazza dei Miracoli]
A group of religious buildings are scattered on the large lawn of Piazza dei Miracoli, including the Cathedral (built from 1063 to the 13th century), the Baptistery (built from 1153 to the 14th century), the Bell Tower (i.e. the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and the Cemetery (built in 1174). Their exterior walls are all made of milky white marble. Each is relatively independent but forms a unified Romanesque architectural style. They are all masterpieces of art in the history of architecture. Piazza dei Miracoli is one of the centers of the essence of medieval art and has a profound impact on future architectural design. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located behind the Pisa Cathedral.

This combo ticket is quite expensive, and two or three of the five attractions aren't particularly interesting, but I bought it anyway, adhering to the principle of "since you're already there." There was a minor issue: the QR code on the order form wasn't the ticket. Instead, there was a link in the email that turned out to be a PDF file. It took me over half an hour to figure it out, asking staff everywhere. It was quite a waste of time, so I deducted one point from Ctrip. Fortunately, customer service was helpful, so I felt reassured.
The Leaning Tower is noticeably tilted upon reaching the summit, and the walkway is a bit crooked. It's just so-so at the top. Staff regularly sing hymns in the baptistery, and while I couldn't understand them, the sound of the chants swirling and resonating through the tall, circular building was quite moving. The cemetery itself was relatively simple, with just a few sculptures and murals. I can't remember the name of the XXX museum, and I couldn't understand it at all. I didn't even know it, but I wasn't impressed. Finally, I was delayed at the Opera Museum, so I didn't have time to visit it. Overall, this combo ticket was the most expensive and least cost-effective of my entire trip to Italy. I have to complain about how casual Italians are at work. I bought the earliest ticket for the 9 o'clock tower, but it was 8:55 and they still hadn't shown up. The people queuing up were confused and thought they were in the wrong place. It was past 9 o'clock before two or three staff members slowly came over with a code scanning machine and started working in a hurry.
Definitely worth if you like scenery as well as architectural design with history there. As you were not allowed to carry bags / water bottles for the stairs climb, The price includes the use of locker for your bags. Well organized venue & hope you will have a nice time there too.

This small but exquisite museum was originally the private residence of Borghese. There are several sculptures in the house that are amazing. Outside the museum is the Borghese Park. After visiting the museum, you can continue to enjoy the passing of time in the park. It is worth a visit.
I only just found out about this museum and hadn't had high hopes of getting tickets. But then I saw that Ctrip offered a tour, which was a great idea.
However, the tour was in English, and I barely understood anything. It's best to learn about the artwork beforehand.
The entire tour lasted two hours, and the tour guide took me all the way through. Afterward, I didn't have time to explore on my own.
Also, the meeting point was actually right outside the museum entrance. Ctrip's description wasn't clear, so I contacted customer service, which was thankfully resolved.

Roman Forum and the Colosseum are amazing historical places everyone should see. The tickets, adult + child x2 full experience are the best for the value we have paid.
The Roman Forum is a vivid reminder of ancient Rome’s greatness. Though much of it is in ruins, what remains is enough to spark imagination about its past glory. Walking through the lively, bright city, I realize the forums aren’t confined to one spot—they’re spread throughout, giving me a sense of how vast and advanced Rome once was. It’s an experience that blends history and atmosphere bringing the ancient world to life. I really love it here~

The fountain at the Spanish Steps in Rome is called the "Fountain of the Broken Ship". It is one of the famous Baroque fountains in Rome and is located in the center of the Spanish Square. The main body of the fountain is a broken ship half submerged in water, with water overflowing from all sides of the ship, symbolizing the scene after the flood recedes. This unique design not only solves the problem of insufficient water pressure in the low-lying areas of the square, but also gives the fountain a very high artistic value. The meaning of the Broken Ship Fountain is "the ship of heaven", symbolizing the persistence of faith in disasters.
One of the most beautiful and breathtaking little building in Roma. Even if there is a lot of people at the surrounding area, you can always enjoy the view. Would recommend to go very early in the morning or late at night.

## Hill of the Gods: The Power Rings of Palatine Hill
When you climb the ridge on the gravel of the Imperial Avenue, you suddenly fall into the creation myth of Rome - Palatine Hill. There is no bloody glory of the Colosseum, no perfect dome of the Pantheon, only the half-buried palace ruins in the wild flowers whispering in the wind. But please believe that every inch of soil in this hill, which is no more than 60 meters high, is soaked with the genes of Western power.
**The space-time wormhole of Romulus's hut**. Next to the ruins of the Augustus Palace, a small circle surrounded by several charred wooden stakes is actually the legendary place where the mother wolf feeds her baby! Crouching down to touch the cracks of the carbonized oak, the fingertips feel incredible heat - not the sun's scorching, but the residual heat of the bonfire 2,800 years ago. When wild poppies sway on the rammed earth ground, you will see the figures of shepherds Romulus and Remus swaying in the heat wave: it turns out that the starting point of the empire is just a few charred fences.
**The secret language of mosaics in Villa Livia**. Entering the semi-underground residence of the queen, you will be caught off guard by the spring scenery in the room: turtledoves carrying figs fly over the branches of yellow fragrant plums, and pomegranates burst on the walls inlaid with colored stones. The peacock squatting in the corner has a lively look, and the grape vines under its claws extend to the real ground, entangled and coexisting with the weeds outside the wall - the ancient Roman craftsmen used 40,000 colored stones to solidify the luxurious feast at the peak of power into an eternal hymn to life.
**The Cliff Theater of Domitian's Palace**. Standing on the edge of the ruins of the most luxurious palace in the empire, there are tourists like ants in the Colosseum under your feet. In the past, tyrants set up cantilevered stands here and used pure silver railings to isolate the world. Today, the marble fence has long been weathered, but you can still experience the dizzy pleasure of power: when the dusk dyes the Colosseum into golden and red ruins, the mountain wind brings the faint roar of lions and the roar of chariots, and the whole city of Rome turns into a bloody sand table under your feet. At this moment, I suddenly realized that all empires will eventually return to dust, only the mountain wind is eternal.
Please bring a wild olive leaf before going down the mountain. Passing through the remains of the Flavian Palace arch in the sunset, the moonlight is pinning the shadow of the Doric colonnade on the stone wall of the Faun Cave. Augustus's ghostly purple robe brushes across your arm, and a few green peacocks suddenly pass over the broken walls of Tiberius's palace, and their long tails sweep down dewdrops like tears of the collapse of the empire. The most deadly magic of the Palatine Hill is that it makes you a creator and a gravedigger at the same time - when the mountain wind fills your clothes, you can hear more than just the sighs of Caesars, but also the echo of the eternal throbbing of power rushing in your own blood.

A really beautiful place, though smaller than the famous ones. Still worth a visit.
Well worth seeing the incredible architecture! Great to have a few different parts that you can go in an out of (only once each) to take breaks from outside and not do everything at once.
