Exploring Vienna and

Exploring Vienna and Rome was one of those trips that make you fall in love with Europe all over again 🇦🇹🇮🇹 The highlight? Unbeatable Italian eats and so much history you’ll feel like you’re time travelling! The best part: everything’s a breeze to get to thanks to smooth local transport. Let’s break down my top pick in Rome. Must-See Place: The Colosseum 🏛️ If there’s one spot you can’t miss, it’s the Colosseum. This ancient Roman gladiator stadium sits at Piazza del Colosseo, 1, 00184 Roma RM, Italy. Tickets are €16, which is a steal for seeing THE icon of Rome IRL. Hours vary through the year: it opens at 8:30AM but closing time shifts—from 4:30PM in winter to 7:15PM in deep summer. It’s closed on Jan 1 and May 1, so plan around those dates! Getting In: Lines can be long, especially midday. Book your ticket ahead online on trip.com to skip the queues. Early birds (before 10AM) will dodge the biggest crowds and have smoother photo ops. Local Tips: Rome is a foodie paradise! After your Colosseum tour, wander nearby for street pizza, gelato at Fatamorgana, or classic carbonara at Trattoria Luzzi (Via di San Giovanni in Laterano, 88)—with all these joints within easy walking range. Public transit gets you around easily—Metro B Colosseo station stops right outside. City Hacks & Essentials: • Most sights are walkable or a short metro ride away. • Keep some cash for small eats; cards work most other places. • Always check opening hours for attractions—they shift with the seasons.
