Rome in Pictures – the Heavyweights

I found Rome too overwhelming to write about. Where does one start? A city so vast and full-packed of beautiful and historical things to see, how do you begin to showcase Rome?

I’ve decided to start with the heavyweights, the must-sees, the ones tourists don’t usually miss – in glorious pictures (one hopes). As always, click to enlarge the pictures (you can also navigate by pressing left and right after enlarging).

Piazza Navona

Trevi Fountain

Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain)

Castel Sant’Angelo

Spanish Steps

Pantheon – the father of all domes

Colosseum

that girl obnoxious or what?!

Now that I got those out of the way, I can later talk about Rome from different angles: Rome that you can’t see in pictures, the stars of Rome: St Peter, Michelangelo, Bernini. Oh and if you noticed, I have not included Vatican City. That’s a whole different beast.

The Traveling Reader

I left home when I was 17 and never stop exploring the world since. Most days I'm a digital technician at one of the London's biggest visual effects studio. My alternate persona writes and travels and dreams of doing these as a living. I alternately call myself Indonesian or Australian whichever is more beneficial at the time, and I've been a Londoner since 2011.
