- follow @thelosttwo for more travel inspo 🫶🏼 2 DAYS IN ROME ITINERARY 🇮🇹👇🏼 You guys asked for it, so here you go! Here’s what you can see if you only have 2 Days in Rome! ✨ Start early and head to the Colosseum (buy tickets ahead of time) to avoid the crowds. Marvel at this ancient wonder, and imagine the gladiatorial games of old. ✨ Next, make your way to the Roman Forum, where the heart of ancient Rome once beat. Let the history of the place transport you back in time. ✨ From there, visit the Altare della Patria, a monument to Italian unification that offers breathtaking views of the city. ✨ Walk over to the Pantheon, a stunning temple that has been standing for over 2,000 years. Take a moment to appreciate its perfect symmetry and the engineering marvels that made it possible. ✨ A short walk will bring you to the Trevi Fountain, where you can toss a coin and make a wish. Take in the beauty of the Baroque architecture and indulge in some gelato. ✨ Continue to the Spanish Steps, a famous landmark where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. Don’t forget to take a selfie! ✨ Head to Castel Sant’Angelo, a stunning castle that has served as a fortress, papal residence, and prison. Explore its rich history and enjoy the views from the terrace. ✨ No visit to Rome is complete without a visit to Vatican City. Head to the Vatican Museum, where you can admire the works of great artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. You need to dine at “Il Sorpasso” if you’re in the area too! ✨ Finally, head to Trastevere for dinner, a charming neighborhood with cobbled streets and plenty of great restaurants. Our favourite is @nannarellaofficial, SO GOOD! Enjoy some traditional Roman dishes and soak in the local atmosphere. 2 days well spent in Rome, full of history, culture, and great food! #RomeItinerary #RomanHoliday #LaDolceVita #rome #italy #europeansummer #summerholidays #trending #viral

👑 🇮🇹 The monument commemorates the unification of Italy in 1861 and the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II. 🏛️Although this monument was built in his honour, he is not buried there. Instead, he is buried in the Pantheon. 📍 Open every day 9:30 am to 17:30 (5:30 pm) Taking the elevator up to the top costs 12€. __________________________ #rometravel #tourguidemitra #romeguide #altaredellapatria #rometravelers #romeguidedtours #travelbymitra #rometours
