Colosseum and Foutain Di Trevi

Visiting the Colosseum was one of the most incredible experiences in my life. The historical building is known from history books as well as the stories about Gladiators. Once again the architecture and building techniques are very impressive and it's great to see how well preserved the Colosseum is. In the evening I have also visited the Fountain di Trevi. In the dark, it is breathtaking and just spectacular, particularly with the sound of flowing water which can also be heard in the nearby streets.

Vatican

The next stop on our trip was Rome. We first visited the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel.  The architecture was once again breathtaking. Every building was a piece of art and every art piece was simply spectacular, immersed with immense detail and altogether magnificent.    Piet à - Michelangelo The tomb of John Paul II After the uncountable amount of steps, it still wasn't the end! After hundreds of steps and feeling claustrophobic we made it! As you can see it was worth it :)  Effective inside of the Vatican Museum We were lucky to have the opportunity to see exhibition of Rembrandt's work 

Venice 2

I wanted to share some more pictures from Venice! As I said in the previous post the architecture and atmosphere in the city is what makes it uniquely attractive, making it difficult to describe you just have to experience it for yourself. It is a must do on anyone’s bucket list! :) Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute                                                                       Sometimes it is nice to get lost in the narrow streets...  Lion of St. Mark, symbol of the city View from Piazza San Marco  Piazza San Marco The view from Rialto bridge  The famous Rialto bridge at night
