Rome: Day and Night

Day 1: Attractions: Trevi Fountain (evening), Spanish Steps (evening) After landing at the airport around noon, I took the ITA train directly to Rome's central train station. My accommodation, Hostel, was a 15-minute walk from the station. Both attractions are within walking distance from the train station. For dinner, I randomly chose a restaurant (Caffe Washington Rome). The grilled ribs were quite good, and the rest of the dishes were decent as well. The prices were within an acceptable range. Day 2: Attractions: Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Mouth of Truth, Circus Maximus, Trevi Fountain (daytime), Spanish Steps (daytime) If you're interested in history, I recommend joining a local tour for the Colosseum, as the guide provides detailed explanations. Even if you're not into history, joining a tour is still advisable since tour groups use a separate line to enter. Note that there is a security check before entry. Depending on the type of tour you join, some include nearby attractions in addition to the Colosseum. The tour typically lasts 2 to 3 hours. You can spend the rest of your time exploring Palatine Hill, which offers stunning views of Rome from the top. For lunch, consider dining at a restaurant near the hill. I stumbled upon a place serving a delicious mushroom fish dish at a reasonable price. As for the Mouth of Truth, you can visit it, but the long queue for photos with the stone discouraged me, so I just admired it from a distance. Near the Mouth of Truth, there's a market called Campagna Amica Market, which offers a variety of food and ingredients. It's worth a visit. Day 3: Attractions: Vatican City, Vatican Museums, Piazza Navona For the Vatican Museums, it's best to purchase tickets in advance to avoid long queues. If you're interested in history, consider joining a tour. There's a lot to see inside, and a detailed visit can take up most of the day. Security checks are required before entry. Entry to Vatican City also involves security checks and queues. Photography is allowed inside, and if it's sunny, your photos will turn out beautifully. You can also send postcards from within. Piazza Navona: It's worth a visit, though it can be crowded. If you have extra time, explore the nearby streets. The alleys often make for picturesque photo backdrops. **Must-Visit Attractions:** Rome has countless attractions, and this list only scratches the surface. If you're interested in religious history, there are many churches to explore. **Must-Try Foods:** 1. 2. Ristorante Dulcis in Fundo - They have a mushroom sauce appetizer that's delicious, though I forgot its name. **Accommodation Recommendations:** Suggested area: Near the central train station Hotel name: Free Hostel Rome **Photo Spots:** Many alleys are perfect for photography. Take your time to explore and find hidden gems. **Tips:** - Rome has many drinking water fountains, so bring a bottle to refill and save on buying water. - Be cautious when going out at night. - Staying near the train station can be noisy. During my stay, I often heard ambulance or police sirens at night.
