  • Best €8,50 (w/ student discount) i have ever spent in my entire life. this museum houses a seemingly endless collection of irreplaceable statues, paintings, and frescoes. home of michelangelo's sistine chapel ceiling... the museum leads you on a cruelly suspenseful path, ending with the sistina cappella. got a sore neck from just staring at it for so long, and left the museum crying because it is so indescribably beautiful.

  • Come out here for some good chill time until the wee hours of the morning. hang out / gathering place for young people, where you can listen to musicians crooning songs with their guitars, chat with other students, or eat roasted chestnuts from the nearby street vendor. police come by sporadically to keep control of the alcohol situation -- making sure everyone is holding their bottles rather than placing them on the steps. bet you've never encountered that in america.

    Pantheon: A sphere in a cube....

  • Originally started in 200 b.c., this incredible architectural feat has a large oculus in the center of the roof, completely open to the air. specially designed tiles in the floor allow rainwater to drain away. there is something majestic and stoic about the pantheon, and it is definitely worth a visit.

    Santa Maria Maggiore: Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

  • This amazing church was built by Pope Liberius in A.D. 358 and rebuilt by Pope Sixtus III from 432 to 440. The basilica is famous for the 5th century Roman mosaics in its nave, and its coffered ceiling, gilded with gold brought from the New World. There are many things to see at the church and it is one of the most important attractions of Rome.

     I was never so scared as i was climbing to the top of st .peters, looking down inside the dome it's terrifying when you are afraid of heights!!!

     How did you get the Sistene Chapel shot? You arent supposed to take any photos in there!...
