My trip to Italy: Architecture

Hello there!
I decided to dedicate a post to my trip to Italy. So this one is going to be about the architecture and the places i visited.
 I'll start from the very beginning-the flight to Rome. It was actually very nice and there was almost no turbulence.



Most of the time it was a little rainy in Rome but it was stil so beautiful! This city has such a great atmoshphere. It seems lonely and loved at the same time. Sightseeing was one of my favourite activities there. I visited places like Piazza Venezia,the Colosseum,Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish steps,the Pantheon,St. Peter's Basilica,Villa Borghese and Villa Borghese gardens,Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore,Palazzo delle esposizioni,Trajan's Forum,Altare della Patria,Castel Sant'Angelo,Piazza del Popolo,Piazza di Montecittorio,Piazza Navona,Vatican city...I also visited Trevi Fountain but unfortunately it was drained for a renovation. However,a small basin was set up at the rim so the visitors could throw coins into the water for good luck.

Piazza di Spagna

I also spent two days in Florence. I personally think that this town is as amazing and breathtaking as Rome! But it doesn't seem as lonely as Rome. At the evening I went for a walk while it was raining and I almost felt home in Florence! This place calms me down,it isn't that crowded and maybe that's why I liked it so much. The next time I will definitely stay there for more days!

I've been in Italy before but this time I really fell in love with this country. And I definitely think that what I said is not enough to describe all the things that've impressed me. Have a nice day everyone and see you soon!
