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'm normally averse to seeing non-cultural sights when I go on holiday, but this was so roundly recommended I had to make an exception, and I'm sure glad I did. What they have done is almost genius, it's fantastic.

A very spectacular sight and one that the kids will want to go and watch again and again so be careful what you show them! Really fun.

When my BF surprised me with a trip to NY I knew we had to find time in our schedule to go here! It's an amazing museum with so much to see, so we had to cherry-pick the bits we wanted the most, but I still feel like it was well worth going.
