Rome (Roma) Archives - Our Italian Romance

We’re walking on Roman soil once again friends

It’s been 2 years since we last set foot in Roma. I will say it’s way too busy, way to loud and it has way too many people. Nevertheless, we love it! It truly is a unique city to wander around. The food is great (most of the time) and we’re enjoying the search for which ristorante we’ll try next.

We’ve revisited and knocked off a few must see spots in Roma so far including the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo and the grounds of the Villa Borghese Park. Oh, how could I forget, we visited 10 of Romes 900+ churches along the way. Each one of them was an amazing sight to see!

The maze they call Rome

Todays trek saw us put on 24,000 steps and 11.5 miles during this long day of walking, but who’s counting. Oh yah, our FitBits are! I will confess this one thing, walking through the streets of Roma can confuse the best of us in a heart beat. We pulled out the map countless times and still kept getting twisted around.

A couple from Alabama asked us if we knew where Piazza Navona was. The thing is we just left it 10 minutes earlier and we still had trouble pointing them in the right direction.

In the end, we got them on their way. We wisely spent 15euro, caught a cab and made it to home base with time for a pizza and walk around the neighborhood. What a great day!
