Travel
As much as you can.
As far as you can
As long as you can.
Life’s not meant to be lived in one place.

Day 1

​

I fly to Rome on Thursday morning, which works out well as all attractions are open and do not have the weekend traffic to deal with. 

 

Tips:

Take the train from Leonardo Da Vinci airport to Termini Station, it's part of the experience.  The Termini Station is a convenience for the traveler to go everywhere. In Airport and Station, you can find some city guidebook. Read a guidebook to help you understand a little about the city before going (Rick Steves Italy, or Rome were good).

There is no need to book a tour of either of these sites unless you want one. On one day, with tickets to the Vatican Museums, you can pick your entry time and spend as much or as little time wandering as you wish. After that, you can go into St. Peter's Basilica.

 

Vatican City Although very small country, but the Vatican Museum is really so shocking.

​

They display works from the immense collection amassed by Popes throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance Art in the world. (Wikipedia)

The following photos were taken by Addison Liu.

One of  Sistine Chapel ceiling's most famous works is one of the three Renaissance: Michelangelo spent four years painting " Sistine Chapel ceiling" at the Sistine Chapel.In the biography of Michelangelo, Roman Roland wrote: "Michelangelo is only one kind of heroism: understanding of the world (reality), and still, love it."

Michelangelo painting " Sistine Chapel ceiling" is the mural I have seen, the most surprising piece of work. You stand under the mural, no matter from every angle you can see every detail of the mural. Every detail is full of biblical stories, perfect in every angle, and you can feel yourself traveling in the painting.

 

Tip: This mural, visitors cannot take pictures. Only I secretly photographed, because it is so beautiful.

Day 2

​

On another day, I went to see ancient Rome by visiting the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Baths of Caracalla, Circus Maximus, Santa Maria in Cosmedin and the Knights of Malta Keyhole. This is a great way to spend the day and see most of the sites if you are on a limited time allowance.

 

I went to Colosseum/Roman Forum in morning followed by a lunch nearby, then walking to the city south Circus Maximus, next walk north on Via Cavuto, having a gelato and visiting St. Peter in Chains.

This was a nice quiet place and Michelangelo’s Moses is awesome.  Then take the metro to the Spanish Steps and enjoy a walking tour through the Heart of Rome.
