In the Eternal City of Rome in Italy that has existed for three millennia, history crawls from every crevice and crack. From 2,000-year-old ancient landmarks to elegant 17th-century plazas, all of them were built to last ... forever. There’s just no shortage of amazing sights in Rome, all of which were eagerly immortalised by keen photographers, including my husband and me.
While I thought Rome’s city centre appeared crowded at first, during our exploration I found the place to be relaxing and even romantic. Everyone seemed to be a tourist on vacation wandering around, just marvelling at the sights, which we found ourselves mirroring. Strolling through the never-ending via (street in Italian) that’s full of charm quickly became the most enjoyable activity for us in this city.
