Exploring the wonders of Vatic

Exploring the wonders of Vatican and Rome was honestly epic — legendary architecture, jaw-dropping scenery and history on every corner 🏛️✨

Top Spots to Visit:
1. Vatican Museums (00120 Vatican City)
If you want your mind blown, go early — the Vatican Museums are vast and get crowded fast! Open Mon-Sat, mostly 8:00 AM-8:00 PM, but double-check since opening hours shift often (Sundays almost always closed). The Sistine Chapel’s ceiling is surreal in real life. Pro tip: Buy tickets online with trip.com to breeze past frustrating lines!

2. Colosseum (Piazza del Colosseo, 1, 00184 Roma RM)
The Colosseum is monumental. Visit in the morning for the best lighting and thinnest crowds. Opening hours vary by season but typically 8:30 AM-4:30 PM (admission closes an hour early). Take your time circling the exterior before heading inside for killer photo ops, then wander through the ruins for ancient vibes.

Bonus:
Swing by Piazza Navona if you have time — it’s full-on Roman charm with gorgeous fountains, cute cafes, and the most Instagrammable historic views.

Travel & Food Hacks:
- Metro and buses in Rome are super cheap and link all the classics. Buy a multi-day transport pass at any station.
- Walk wherever possible — the city’s scenery is insane.
- Grab authentic Roman pizza or pasta at Da Francesco or Roscioli near Campo de’ Fiori after sightseeing. Order carbonara for pure happiness.

General Tips:
- Vatican Museums and Colosseum require advance tickets or you’ll lose hours in line.
- Carry euros, and check weather — Rome can get warm even in fall and winter.
- Dress humbly for Vatican spots (cover knees/shoulders).
