Day 1
The ancient city of Rome - the cradle of one of the greatest civilizations in human history boasts beautiful architecture, numerous museums and countless still standing today monuments, columns and buildings that witnessed the most important events of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent.
Rome doesn’t need to be introduced or presented in any way - it’s so well known around the world, not only in history classes but also in media, movies and entertainment. It’s visited by literally swarms of tourists every day.
The Italian capital wasn’t my final destination, I intended to visit the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum that were covered by volcanic ashes and mud after the eruption of the mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. However, I arrived to Rome first and had two days to walk around.
