What a fascinating place! It almost looks like somewhere that the Roman buildings came to die, but with the help of my friend the history buff he brought the whole thing to light and I really enjoyed it. Thanks Sam!!

Ok, so the queues and the crowds are terrible, but this was singlehandedly the most amazing museum i've ever been to. The map rooms and of course the Sistine Chapel were the best bits for me.

You can get church fatigue quite easily in Rome but I defy anyone not to see the splendour and the beauty of this fine example. It's absolutely huge!

It's the most iconic Roman structure in the world and you can't miss it, despite the crowds. I can't believe loads of the stone was used elsewhere, and how enormous and imposing it must have been for those poor gladiators who fought there.

I feel like I'm in the pulsing heart of Rome when I stop here! There's always plenty happening, often something unexpected so be sure to stop by for a drink or a sit down.
