3 DAYS IN ROME ITALY 🇮🇹 Top Things to Do, See & Eat

3 DAYS IN ROME ITALY 🇮🇹 Top Things to Do, See & Eat

we have just landed in Rome Italy guys and over 
the next three days we’re going to be showing   you exactly what to expect when traveling 
to Rome right now we’re at the Leonardo da Vinci airport which is actually outside of the 
city of Rome in an area called Fiumicino and we need to make our way into the city center by 
the Leonardo Express train which is the best way to get into the city before heading into the 
city we stopped to grab some cash out we took out €100 just enough to have on hand you really don’t 
need much cash in Italy most places take card or contactless but it’s handy for things like tips 
taxis or small shops you’ll find ATMs right near the baggage claim before you exit the airport just 
make sure to decline the conversion when it asks always choose to be charged in euros not your 
home currency that way you avoid the extra fees so we’re trying to figure out how to buy the 
Leonardo Express train tickets because when you   come into this area it gets extremely busy you can 
get them from the ticket machines um we also saw some ticket offices but we don’t know actually 
where to go but it does say over here actually that’s quite interesting there’s a lot of people 
right now but we can see Leonardo Express buy your ticket at the ticket office or at the self service 
on the right so I think we can buy the tickets just over here ciao we want to go to Rome Termini 
uh yeah uh can you pay at the turnstyles with the phone at the gate no no no no you have to buy it 
here okay uh two tickets to Rome Termini 28 €28 Express yeah €14 each see here guys fumachino airport 
to Rome fly through traffic it’s 32 minutes to the center of Rome €14 each so quick graci 
all right tickets have been purchased we have literally 5 minutes to get onto the train so you 
just want to make your way over here to these turn styles go yay oh it’s closing so here’s the 
train guys Leonardo Express another train is approaching apologies for the screeching 
but this is our train on the left here actually quite nice on here let’s put these up here yes do you want the under seat yeah there 
you go ladies first oh there sockets yeah the seats are actually pretty nice it is air 
conditioned on here cuz it’s extremely hot here in Italy quite a change from back in 
the UK yeah and the views are so beautiful here’s another tip for you guys get your 
internet sorted before you land we used   aloSIM Europe EI which covers 35 countries 
and we literally had data the moment we landed while still on the plane it made getting to 
our hotel and navigating Rome so much easier especially with public transport right after 
arrival we’ve put a link in the description   and you can scan the QR code on screen use our 
code JAYKAROLINA3 to get $3 off your first e wow guys the Leonardo Express was actually 
very nice very convenient and fast it was very very quick it didn’t feel like 
30 odd minutes and for €14 is really   good value for money so very happy about 
that now the best way to get around Rome is to take the metro and it’s actually 
one of the cheapest ways so you want to   be taking advantage of that you can see 
we’ve just come out into Rome Termini so when you come down to the metro you can buy 
tickets at these machines over here but we do not need to do that because we can use a 
debit or credit card to scan through the turns dials and you can actually use our 
phones so Karolina is going to be using   a physical card i’m going to use my phone 
let’s hope it works the matter of truth guys i’ve got my debit card on my phone here let’s 
see if it scans through hey there we go yeah you just tap and go so easy you can also take 
the buses around Rome but just a heads up they don’t always turn up on time that being said 
they are fairly frequent and still will get   you where you need to go just remember to tap 
your phone or card when you get on because in Rome they really do check your tickets when 
going onto public transportation with one   card pay only for one person yes I paid with this 
phone as well you pay with the phone and what the card mean i believe the wallet okay okay okay 
the uh yep the wallet now okay all right good make sure you have your tickets guys 
you can also take the trams around   parts of Rome but we didn’t 
end up needing to use them oh this is a mad dash onto it there’s so many 
people getting onto this train i didn’t expect it to be so busy just be careful of your rucks 
sack because this is pick pocket heed right now pockets [Applause] uh bit further down we’ll go further down uh yeah we can make it yeah 
let’s try oh they’re closing last minute oh we just made it a few moments later it’s also worth mentioning the 72-hour Roma pass 
which you can book through KLOOK it gives you free admission to two museums or monuments of your 
choice including big ones like the Colosseum Palentine Hill and the Roman Forum plus you’ll 
get unlimited access to public transport for 72 hours it’s super convenient because you don’t 
have to worry about buying tickets every time   you hop onto the metro or bus and you can even 
skip the queues at major attractions too just one thing please please please book your activities in 
advance to avoid missing out and don’t forget to use our discount code JAYKAROLINAKLOOK to save money 
when booking your activities and we have made it into Rome guys it is so warm beautiful sunshine 
i cannot wait to get out of these jeans into some shots now we’re heading to our accommodation it’s 
about 15 20 minute walk but check this out guys look how beautiful this is we just stumbled 
across such a beautiful monument over here now the public transportation I think you 
would agree was very very good uh we really appreciated that especially if you’re a solo 
traveler or a couple it definitely works out to be more affordable if you are going with a 
family I think the standard rate at the airport to get into the into the center of Rome is €50 
so probably works out better if you’re a group a family after taking the metro we arrived 
in Prati which is actually a great area to   stay in if you’re looking for more affordable 
accommodation in Rome just keep in mind that you’ll need to use public transport or be up 
for a bit more walking to get to the main sites to reach our Airbnb we cross Sant’Angelo Bridge a 
stunning Roman bridge built in 134 AD by Emperor Hadrien as you walk across you’ll pass by 10 
angel statues each beautifully detailed once you reach the other side and enter the historic 
center you’re greeted with an amazing view of   Castel Sant’Angelo the castle of the Holy Angel 
which was originally built as Emperor Hrien’s tomb all right guys so we entered our Airbnb 
and this is our room so let’s show you around wow look at this the castle wow i love it can we 
actually open this yes and we have a little table on the balcony we got a little balcony over here 
wow well actually quite a big balcony Karolina what a location we literally crossed from the 
bridge just over there and we have the Castle St Angelo what a location so we are going to share 
with you the price of this Airbnb very shortly and also the city tourist tax but we thought it 
would be good to make a little tour of this room so this is the bed let’s make Is that quite firm 
i think so oh god yeah it is that didn’t move at all i never really know how comfortable the bed 
is until you really you know spend a couple of hours on it but actually it feels not too bad to 
be quite honest very comfy and we have a picture of the Trevi Fountain which we’re going to be 
going tomorrow morning and hopefully showing   you guys how to beat the crowds if everything goes 
to plan and what I’ve realized that they actually left us some cookies so I think the Italians are 
eating these ones with some coffee for breakfast or cappuccino they also left us the cups the 
kettle and there’s the mini bar but how cute is that we can’t can’t complain about free snacks 
to be honest i mean they’re not really free snacks   are they we’re paying for them so Karolina what is 
the cost per night of our Airbnb so we are paying $162 per night for this place and we are staying 
here free night so it’s a little bit expensive but we are paying for the location we are here in 
during the peak time season yeah yeah and also we think that actually in the price it’s included 
the tourist city tax which usually varies from € 4 to €10 per person depending on the category of the 
hotel or like the staying in like a 5* hotel you’re probably going to be paying quite a bit per 
person per night you might have noticed that for this entire video that I’ve been wearing a brand 
new watch now I don’t usually wear watches but this one really has changed my mind this is the 
TSARB BOMBA Atomic Watch and what made me really fall in love with this watch is the beautiful 
skeleton design you can actually see the inner mechanics on the face of this watch it makes you 
feel like you’re wearing a piece of precision engineering and it gets better this watch is fully 
interchangeable so it came in this very nice matte black box super smooth minimalistic design very 
classy and honestly it made me feel like a kid again the excitement of opening up something that 
you genuinely want to play with and the time has come to show you guys what’s inside of this box so 
the first thing that you’ll see when you open up this beautiful box is the graphic that says quick 
release atomic collection because the idea behind this watch is that each part of the watch can 
be customized we’re talking the crown the strap and the bezel and the best thing about it is it’s 
all quick release let’s get into the accessories first there’s a full set of Fluro rubber straps 
in different colors they’re softer touch slightly matte in finish and feel really premium so whether 
you’re dressing up or going casual there’s a strap for it and right next to that you’ve got a 
row of interchangeable crowns they’re color matched to the straps so you can keep your setup 
looking clean and coordinated and under the final layer you’ve got the main TSARB BOMBA atomic 
watch right in the center surrounded by all the interchangeable bezels there are carbon fiber 
bezels for a modern sporty look and matte finish bezels if you want something more minimal and 
stealthy everything’s powered by TSARB BOMBA’S quick release system so the straps bezels and 
crowns all snap in and out in under 30 seconds and what I absolutely love about this watch is 
that at nighttime the dial glows thanks to alpha luminex it absorbs both natural and artificial 
light during the day so even in total darkness you can read the time we’ll put a link in the 
description to this exact watch set if you use our code JAYKAROLINA you’ll get 5% off at checkout and I 
just want to say a big thank you to Sar Bomber for sponsoring this video if you’re wondering where 
to stay in Rome here’s a quick breakdown because each neighborhood offers something a little 
different depending on your travel style and   budget one area people often consider is Prati
it’s a quieter more residential part of the city next to the Vatican and a good option if you’re 
looking for more affordable accommodation it’s a   bit further from the main tourist sites but it’s 
well connected by metro and bus so getting around is easy if you don’t mind a bit of travel time 
the historic center is also a fantastic choice if you want to be in the heart of it all close to 
spots like the Pantheon Piazza Nona and the Trevi Fountain it’s incredibly walkable but keep in mind 
accommodation here tends to be more expensive our Airbnb was right by the castle of the Holy Angel 
and as you can see from the map the location was amazing then there’s Monti near the Colosseum 
and Roman Forum it’s just an 8-minute walk from the main train station and well connected a great 
base if you want something central but a little bit more laidback and finally Trastevere where 
we’re actually heading for dinner next this is one of the most atmospheric areas in Rome with 
cobbled streets warm tone buildings and a lively laid-back vibe it’s across the river from the 
center so it’s very walkable it can get a bit touristy in the evenings but it still has plenty 
of character with familyrun trattorias hidden wine bars and some of the best local food in the 
city it’s a favorite with both visitors and Romans alike and if you’re after a proper Roman 
dining experience trust every is hard to beat one of the most popular places to eat in Trastevere 
is Tonnarello a buzzing spot known for serving classic Roman dishes it’s a favorite for both 
locals and tourists so be prepared to queue we managed to grab a table out in the square 
which had a lovely atmosphere perfect for   people watching and soaking it all in naturally we 
started with two glasses of red wine as you do to kick things off we ordered a Roman artich choke 
which is a local favorite i love it these fried artich chokes they actually look like flowers go 
for it Karolina so this is fried artichoke yeah it’s very popular in Rome and actually it looks 
like these parts are like petals let me give it a try m it’s actually really interesting because 
it tastes like a fried potato but it also has a little bitter after taste and actually I don’t 
really like super deep fried stuff but this is   really good then for maze we went with two of 
Rome’s signature pasta dishes amatriciana and carbonara carbonara beautiful carbonara for me 
thank you where are you from uh the UK and I’m from Poland oh Poland yes Warszawa arsenal which team 
uh Liverpool liverpool my congratulations oh thank you yeah I appreciate that you never 
walk alone oh yes graia this top is so nice but so is this pasta look at that look at this 
pasta this looks absolutely delicious wow so I am a carbonara lover they’ve got some 
beautiful parmesan on the top here want to dive in oh it looks so rich look at that 
guys first bite of pasta in Italy let’s go i can see these eyes the pasta is al dentes 
it’s got like the chewiness to it i love that it’s really rich and creamy and then 
you’ve got these beautiful pieces of bacon   just over here i’m in heaven right now i can 
see that m it’s so good wow i can’t wait to dig into this pasta but I really like the 
pan that they are serving it with because   it keeps it very warm how do you pronounce 
this dish mine is called amatriciana oo you did a good good job on the pronunciation 
there wow and it’s basically tomato paste   with bacon cheese and pepper so I can’t 
wait to try it out that’s a big mouthful what’s that italian expression there coming 
through you’re not Polish anymore you’re   Italian i love it the pasta is so chewy as 
you said and I love the tomato paste and the cheese on top there’s also bacon i didn’t have 
a chance to try it but it’s so good i’m so happy right now [Music] you might be wondering why 
exactly is everyone looking at through this massive green door and better yet why is there 
a line just to peek through for a keyhole well this is the famous Aventine keyhole where if 
you look through at just the right angle you will see a perfectly framed view of St Peter’s 
Basilica right through a garden corridor it’s one of those quirky little Rome secrets that’s 
become super popular online we didn’t stay to this time but just to the right there’s a 
quiet little park that gave us an absolutely beautiful sunset view over Rome and honestly 
that peaceful moment made it totally worth the stop good morning guys we’re starting off the 
day at one of the most famous fountains in the world Trevi Fountain now the plan was to beat the 
crowds and actually it’s not that busy right now the idea is to go before 9:00 a.m because they’ve 
started a new queuing system you’ll see just over here with a tape people will start queuing all 
along here and it’s basically kind of restricted access until you let in to the queue and we heard 
before 9:00 a.m they don’t actually have that but we came at 8:30 and they’ve already started 
queuing people up so earlier the better right now it’s actually pretty good i think we can 
go straight into the line over here and it’s not too long we went straight through that 
was nice and easy ladies first because it’s regulated i like it yeah it feels a bit more 
controlled yeah oh my god this perspective wow look at this Karolina this is so big and we have made it to the front guys it 
didn’t take too long at all and we have front row seats to the beautiful Trevi Fountain wow 
now legend has it that you have to toss a coin with your right hand over your left shoulder and 
if you do that it’ll guarantee that you’ll come back jerome yeah let’s do this coin is ready 
right hand left shoulder let’s do this woo where did it go inside i hope that was a pound 
coin cuz we don’t actually have any euros but apparently every day they collect around €3,000 
all in this kind of pool over here as you do we need to take a selfie with the Trevi Fountain 
yeah everyone is doing this so our turn smile there we go all right bye-bye Trevi Fountain 
just a short walk from the Trevi Fountain you will find the Spanish Steps one of the most iconic 
and photographed places in Rome it’s always lively with people sitting chatting and snapping photos 
from every angle we even got pulled into a group picture with a Polish tour which felt very fitting 
since I’m Polish it was a very funny little moment if you climb to the top you will not only reach 
the beautiful Trinitita de Monti Church but you will also get a gorgeous view over Via dei Condotti
Rome’s elegant shopping street lined with designer stores and a lovely panorama of the city’s 
rooftops so guys we have come to one of the most beautiful squares here in Rome called Piazza 
Navona now the ironic thing about this square is that it’s not a square it’s a ovalshape because 
it was a former Roman stadium or the site was a former Roman stadium and they were hosting 
sporting events not like football but more   Roman sporting events like disc throwing and 
wrestling right in the center of Piazza Navona you will find the fountain of the four rivers a 
stunning baro masterpiece designed by Bernini in the 1600s unfortunately there was some restoration 
work happening when we visited so we couldn’t see the fountain fully but even with the scaffolding 
it was still beautiful there is also an Egyptian obelisk which was placed on top to represent the 
power and continuity of the Catholic Church next up is All’Antico one of the most famous sandwich 
shops in Italy it started in Florence and became a viral sensation for its massive freshlymade 
focaccia sandwiches filled with Italian meats cheeses and homemade sauces it’s so popular 
here in Rome they actually have opened up two shops right opposite each other and even then you 
should still expect a queue it does get busy but it’s absolutely worth the wait ciao we want to 
go for La Paradiso lao the best one yes and last summer for me La Paradiso and La Summer summer is 
good which one’s the best one La Galosa what is this should I go for it okay okay we’ll go for them two that’s the one okay 21 yes please 
up on the screen thank you so much thank you i love the vibe here yeah they’re joking all right put it on put that hat on there you go 
i’m the part of the team now paradiso paradiso is for me my friend grazie wow look at the 
size of that thing looks good and you went for the laa [Music] gracias tip for you guys when 
you are queuing up make sure to scan their QR code because the menu is rather extensive and 
there are a lot of options and so you want to   have a bit of time to pick your choice now I 
went for the la paradiso and there’s so many ingredients in here i’m just going to read 
it off for you so it’s mortadella cream of   pistachio straciatella cheese with chopped 
pistachios and look at the size of this thing it’s literally the size of your head if 
I turn it upside down it’ll be the size of my   head all right so you got this kind of beautiful 
crunchy golden bread here let’s give it a go now that guys is absolutely delicious so you’ve got 
the beautiful cooked pieces of ham which is the mortadella now the strawella is what I really 
like because provides that kind of creaminess   so you get that nice kind of meaty flavor then the 
creaminess coming through and the pistachios you do get kind of that after taste of the pistachios 
but the bread is also very crunchy it’s very nice textures to it yeah looks so I don’t even 
know where to start really cuz it’s so big when you get to the Pantheon you’ll see the 
line splits into three on the left there’s   the cash payment queue which is usually the 
longest and on the right hand side there’s a card payment line and that one usually moves 
more quickly so if you’re paying on the day   definitely choose this line but the quickest 
option overall is the center line which is for people who’ve already booked tickets in advance 
and if you’re also visiting the Vatican museums   and the Sistine chapel we highly recommend booking 
with KLOOK because it also includes entry into the Pantheon just remember to redeem your tickets 
first at the tourist station near the Vatican right now guys we’re inside a 2,000-year-old 
Roman temple that is now a church this is spectacular but what is mind-blowing is the 
concrete dome over here this is the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome which means 
it’s mounted and supported by its own weight and you can see the Oculus over here the circular 
opening in the roof that is the only natural light coming into the Pantheon it’s so impressive 
because it’s very well lit actually so I have got a little secret to share with you guys that you 
might not know when coming to Italy but you can   actually drink from all of these fountains not 
just in Rome but everywhere in Italy there’s an app that we’re going to share the link in the 
description and it’ll show you all the fountains   everywhere in Italy and it’s perfectly safe 
to drink from so all you need to do is grab yourself a bottle not only are you saving some 
money also being eco-friendly and you can just   fill it up just like this now if you don’t have a 
bottle all you have to do this is the first time I’m doing it sorry sorry oh my god almost the 
lady going by she was smiling she was nice but uh yeah there you go actually I was so thirsty 
so I’m so happy that we got this water and it’s chilled it’s actually very nice temperature 
now what is the taste like Karolina straight from the streets of Rome it’s actually pretty 
good it tastes very fresh we actually learned from our coliseum guide Marcello that the reason 
the water tastes so good and is always nice and   chilled is because it comes straight from the 
mountains surrounding Rome how cool is that now we’re heading off on a little DIY food 
tour and honestly there’s no better place to   start than Trastevere our first stop was Suppli 
Roma which just like the name suggests serves a classic Roman street food it is time to try 
Suppli which is very popular here in Rome but we don’t know which one’s which one’s carbonara one 
is classic yeah cheers cheers cheers guys oo so the first thing that you get is a very 
crunchy outer shell which is the deep fried rice ball and inside you have this mozzarella 
cheese very stringy cheese and tomato sauce so it’s like almost like having a pizza that’s 
like deep fried in a bowl with rice yeah mine is carbonara taste so actually there’s a park in 
there so actually there’s an egg inside the bacon and also the rice but I don’t really taste the 
rice it’s really creamy it’s like a deep fried carbonara ball yeah it’s exactly what it is 
all right she needed to bark inside of here there we go that’s all right no worries hello 
well they’re all coming to us hello for this our next stop is a traditional Roman pizzeria 
that’s really popular with the locals and once you see the selection you’ll understand why they 
serve Roman style pizza with a thin crispy crust baked in large rectangular trays an interesting 
thing is that it’s sold by weight you can choose from a huge range of toppings and mix and match 
whatever you’re in the mood for it’s a great option for a quick and satisfying meal perfect 
for grabbing a bite while exploring Trastevere no trip to Italy is without pizza from a 
traditional pizzeria now I asked what this was and the lady inside said radish so not too sure 
actually what this is and I went for the one with anchovies zucchini flour and mozzarella 
on top and we added some chili sauce there’s a choice of a light green chili sauce and there 
was the fiery red chili sauce let’s give this a go ooh ooh it’s delicious crispy the crispiness 
of this faukatcha i think because it’s a flat one they’re very thin m the radish on top kind 
of like slightly bitter but that chili sauce provides a nice kick to it absolutely 
delicious good and for dessert we had to try what many say is the best tiramisu in 
town at none other than Two Sizes they serve a variety of different tiramisu flavors and 
as the name suggests you can choose between   two sizes big or small it is a small shop but 
it’s become a bit of a local legend so don’t be put off by the line outside it moves very 
quickly and it’s absolutely worth the wait now in this video I have been saying I 
am a lover of many of the Italian foods   especially the Tiramisu from Two Sizes 
because literally there’s two sizes small and large and this one is a large i am going 
to go into this cuz this is looking amazing m oh I have no idea what was happening 
there me neither but they were probably cheering for the Tiramisu because it 
is delightful that is probably one   of the best tiramisu I’ve actually 
tried in my life wow is it mhm it’s so like creamy light you get that really 
beautiful coffee coming through wow nice we started the day with one of the most classic 
Roman treats the Maritozzo from Regali Pasticceria Dal 1916 which means it’s been around for more than 
100 years now Bonguiorno the Maritozzo is just over here guys oh my god it looks so good yeah they 
look absolutely delicious uh two uh to go the display inside was simple but beautiful rows of 
fresh Maritozzos filled with clouds of whipped cream and the place had a real traditional vibe it was 
more of a takeaway style particeria where locals pop in for something sweet on the go one capuccino 
or two capuccino capuccino for me for the coffee lover to go to go to go gracia is really nicely 
packaged so cute okay gracia bye bye right next door there’s a small coffee bar so naturally 
I had to sneak in for a morning cappuccino and   there’s just something about Italian hospitality 
a quick smile a little joke and that warm familiar energy that makes even a quick breakfast feel 
special hello so just 10 minutes walk from Regali Pasticceria we are at the Colosseum as you 
can see in the background but first maro so we actually got it for takeaway i didn’t think they 
were going to package it up like that all right look at this they look so inviting i think   that’s cream on the top karolina’s 
first marzo cheers guys go for it i think you can tell i’m a little bit jealous 
that looks so good it looks so so good i love it actually the bread is a little bit like bri it’s 
very soft and this generous portion of whipped cream it’s just so good and actually there’s 
a little hint of like lemon or orange zest yeah i love it it’s Is it quite sugary or quite 
sweet uh no actually there’s it’s just slightly sweet so it’s just more creamy it’s perfect it is 
finally time guys to visit the Colosseum we booked our coliseum Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tickets 
through KLOOK which we highly recommend not only did we get to skip the long lines but we also had 
an audioguided tour with the amazing Marcello and I can’t stress this enough guys book your tickets 
well in advance these sell out fast and you don’t want to miss out you can scan the QR code on 
screen or check the link in the description   to find out more and don’t forget to use our 
discount code JAYKAROLINAKLOOK to save some money when you book also guys make sure to bring your ID 
even a photo on your phone is fine moello told us they check absolutely everyone and we actually saw 
one lady got turned away she was not happy at all doing an audioguided tour really transformed the 
whole Colosseum experience it was our first time visiting and first time having an audioguided 
tour and the stories and history brought the Colosseum to life so much we would have missed 
otherwise how many people would fit inside of the Colosseum about from 70,000 to 80,000 and how 
long would it take them to come in and out of the 155 wow they just cut the head off of the statue and 
put this the the head of a of a god the god of sun and Romans started to call the statue 
the colossus because it was colossal so some scholars say that the coliseum is was called 
the go of colosum after the colossus that was here some other scholars say no the colosum is 
colossal itself you don’t need to have a statue   they call the Colossus because the biggest 
amphitheater in Rome this is one of the most famous ancient Roman marbles this here is this one 
here it’s Cipollino it’s a green marble Cipolla in Italian is onion so it looks like an onion which 
you have these layers okay this marble was caved in the island of Auba not so far from a so in 
Greece these are triangular bricks sometimes not always roman bricks were triangular so the 
outside of the wall is flat perfect but the inside is all mixed up so they made it square and then 
they cut them and also if you have a triangular   um easier to make included in your coliseum 
ticket is entry to both Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum and it’s absolutely worth taking the 
time to explore both we started at Palatine Hill one of the most important sites in ancient Rome 
it’s said to be where Romulus founded the city and later it became the home of Roman emperors 
but the real reason most people come up here   today is for the incredible views from the top 
you get this sweeping panoramic view over the Roman forum with ruins stretching out in every 
direction it’s the perfect spot to take in the scale of what ancient Rome once was from there 
we made our way down to the Roman Forum itself the center of public life in ancient Rome this is 
where political debates public speeches religious ceremonies and even criminal trials took place 
it’s hard to imagine now but this was once the most important meeting place in the Roman Empire 
so you see this is the temple at all times so we still have the columns we have the big um 
uh wall that you can see here on the right   side it was covered with a roof the the roof 
is lost because it was made out of wood and today there’s a church built inside you can see 
the Roman cross walking through the ruins you’re surrounded by columns arches and temple remains 
each with its own story it really does feel like stepping into an open air museum except this 
one was alive with activity thousands of years ago it was a small group of just six 
people and Marcello was incredible his storytelling his pace his voice 
it all made the visit so much more   memorable thank you so much that 
was great thank you thank you and we have made it guys finally to the Vatican 
City and wow this place looks so majestic Karolina now I hear that the Vatican City is its own 
country yes it’s the smallest country in the world and inside the smallest country in the world 
is the biggest church in the world which is St peter’s Basilica which we’re going to be heading 
in very shortly but check this out guys wow so all of these columns along here on top of it you got 
beautiful statues and that’s St Peter’s Basilica just ahead of us i can see crowds and crowds of 
people so we should probably get queuing up we did reserve our tickets online and so hopefully 
that will make our lives a bit easier because I imagine there’s going to be a lot of people 
queuing up who didn’t get tickets in advance and this is exactly why you want to book in 
advance the line for general entry was huge hundreds of people all waiting under the sun 
and it was barely moving save yourself the stress and book ahead so this is absolutely 
mental we are queuing up for getting into the basilica and there’s this queue over here which 
is for people who haven’t got a ticket and for people who have got a ticket like ourselves we 
have a much shorter queue for the basilica okay all right so this is definitely what you want to 
be doing because look this is absolutely mental the number of people who are queuing up without 
a ticket that I just don’t understand it and look at us we’re literally walking past i 
actually feel slightly bad because it must it must be not very comfortable being in this 
queue look at it it’s literally just ram full ciao this I need okay this QR code is   the correct answer okay oops 
sorry stay in the sun because the other and this one you can go we entered 
St Peter’s Basilica through the main door and honestly it just takes your breath away the 
scale of it is incredible and as soon as you walk in your eyes go straight to the ornate 
goldplated ceiling it’s so detailed and rich and every direction you look there’s something 
beautiful to take in from statues and columns   to the smaller domes tucked along the sides 
the vibrant fresqus and gold detailing make it feel like you’re literally standing beneath 
a work of art then right in the center of the   basilica before the altar you will see the 
balahin a massive bronze canopy designed by Bernini making the thumb of St peter’s below it’s 
truly the heart of the pasilica once you’re ready to move on look for the first door on the right 
it leads to Michelangelo’s Pieta carved entirely from a single block of Carrara Marble it’s delicate 
powerful and one of the most famous sculptures in the world so although this church is absolutely 
mobbed with people you can see the sheer numbers behind me it is definitely worth taking the time 
to come here in Rome to the biggest church in the world and possibly the most beautiful church 
in the world but make sure to reserve your   tickets well in advance online before coming 
here because it only took us 5 minutes to get through it was very easy very convenient and 
I kind of feel bad for the people who were in   the queues earlier cuz they’re probably still in 
the queue right now in the hot and humid weather so make sure you reserve online and you’ll get 
the opportunity to experience this beautiful church after that it’s finally time to head 
up to the dome everything is clearly signed so just follow the signs near the exit on 
the right hand side of the basilica before   you start the climb you will see this door 
and pass through a small ticket checkpoint there will be someone there to scan your time slot 
reservation so make sure you’ve booked that ahead that’s one that’s two we are now inside of the dome i didn’t realize 
actually that you’d be having like an inside of the dome view so you have these beautiful murals 
on the right hand side and then you look up to the dome and you have a really close-up view 
it’s absolutely beautiful and you can also see right down inside the St Peter’s Basilica they all look 
so small from here we’re so high up wow wasn’t expecting that this is such a tiny space how are 
we going to come down the climb itself is no joke tight staircases narrow passages and a lot of 
steps but even with the crowds it was fun and totally worth it it gets even tinier oh my god 
the steps are tiny you even get a midway break at a little viewing platform either on the way 
up or if you want to stop on the way down wow this is the best view [Music] [Music] so we’ve made it back down to the midway point 
now to get to the midway point you can take some stairs from the entrance downstairs in St 
peter’s Basilica and there is a lift so if you have mobility issues you can take a lift up to 
the midway point but actually going up to the top of the dome unfortunately we didn’t see a 
lift and I don’t I don’t think there’s a lift   built into it and so if you have mobility issues 
it might be quite tricky for you to get up to the top there was some very narrow corners steep 
steps and a lot of steps uh but you can come up to this midway point and you can have some 
refreshments over here there’s a souvenir shop kind of i saw people having a earlier people are 
filling up their water bottles and it’s still a nice experience coming up to the midway point 
but and a view of the dome yeah and uh do you think it’s worth it i think so yeah after visiting 
the dome we made our way to the Vatican museums if you’ve booked your Sistine Chapel and Vatican 
Museum tickets through KLOOK you’ll need to redeem   them just outside of the museum at the tourist 
station it’s very quick and easy don’t forget to grab your free Pantheon ticket at the same 
time we highly recommend booking through KLOOK   in advance because these are fasttrack tickets 
which makes a big difference the line without a reservation was absolutely massive stretching 
all the way down the street even with a booking there’s still a short queue while you wait for 
your time slot but it’s so much quicker and way   less stressful our final stop had to be Gelateria 
La Romana 1947 a spot that blends modern style with classic Gelato tradition the space feels 
clean bright and welcoming with wooden counters hanging greenery and a calm elegant vibe you can 
choose between a cone or a cup and the fun part they will fill the bottom with melted chocolate 
straight from a top which is honestly a dream there’s a huge variety of flavors on offer all 
beautifully presented in those traditional silver tops and you can pick from three sizes piccolo 
medio or grande that’s the straella beautiful okay and you want some whipped cream on top oo 
you’re really treating me yes please the coffee with cream or the tap with a little bit of I’ll go 
for that one thank you beautiful thank you so much gracia once we made our choices it was time to 
dig in no trip to Rome would be complete Karolina without gelato not ice cream gelato is more milky 
than creamy and I’ve gone for a pistachio i’ve gone for straella hazelnut and they’ve even 
added a nice dollop of whipped cream on top and they actually have this kind of biscuit La 
Romana biscuit yeah it’s so pretty i went for my favorite which is chocolate then fragola which is 
strawberry and then something super Italian i have no idea what is this but like something creamy and 
it looks absolutely delightful should we dive in i don’t know where to start it’s actually melting 
quite quickly oh perfection oh that cream on top is so delightful wow it’s so so good we are put or 
I am putting on weight here in Italy and in Rome and I’m sure when I get back home the jeans are 
probably not going to be fitting but um we wanted   to end our experience here in Rome with a sweet 
treat and we hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful so thank you for watching we’ve got
