I Love Italy

I never imagined visiting Rome in the winter, but when I had some free time a few years ago towards the end of February, I decided to just go for it. Not long after checking into my hotel, I raced to see the Colosseum before the sunset. We arrived on the most gorgeous sunny day and didn't want to miss a second of it. Seeing it made riding the metro during rush hour all worth it. It's one of those famous and ancient sights that lives up to every single one of my expectations. Standing in front of it was almost a bit overwhelming. and I appreciated just to stand and look at this magnificent wonder of the world which is almost 2,000 years old.

Off season can be the best time to travel. Rome is such a wonderful city! Glad you got to experience it. 🙂

I remember arriving in Rome by train on a hot summer day and basically doing the same thing, rushing to see the Colosseum. It didn't disappoint :)

@MrsPeel The Duomo literally took my breath away. I had to read about its construction afterward.
I hope you managed to see the Pantheon in Rome as well. Quite amazing.

Lovely photos. I have also been in Rome during the winter school break and the weather was spectacular and the crowds much lighter than during the summer.
