Rome
Nowadays, european tourism is becoming more and more popular, Italy and France are the two most popular countries, like Rome and Paris are popular cities. When you go to Europe, you usually go to Rome or Paris first, and then go to other places, but there is a saying that if you go to Europe, you must first go to Germany, feel the modern civilization of Europe, then go to Paris in France, and finally go to rome, the oldest city in Italy.
Compared with Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and other countries, this statement is correct. Like Rome, Venice, Paris, Madrid Barcelona, Munich, Prague and other big cities, there are some small towns, some of these cities are more individual, such as Rome, Venice and Barcelona, I think the most interesting, and small towns, such as France's Coma, Germany's Heidelberg, the Czech Republic's ck town, this small place is also very flavorful. This place in Rome will make you feel more and more the more you stay, and the memories will be enjoyable.
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, but the city of Rome can not be built overnight, when we go to visit Rome, we mainly visit the old town of Rome, the old town is actually very small, many attractions are within walking distance, in addition, Rome also has many art museums, relatively far away you need to take a car, but it is worth going, because it is the birthplace of the Renaissance. Rome has also become a place that many people dream of going because of Hepburn's "Roman Holidays", imagining her eating an ice cream on the stairs, watching people come and go, and enjoying the madness of shopping.
The site of the Colosseum in Rome is located in the center of Italy, which was used in ancient times for landlords, nobles, and free people to watch fighting beasts or slaves, and it was very large, about the size of a football field. Standing there, eyes closed, you can imagine the brutal images of the lions and beasts being released before, fighting the slaves, and you can also see the cheers and excitement of the audience, like going back to Italy a long, long time ago. It was built between 72 and 80 AD and is a symbol of ancient Roman civilization. According to statistics, this huge building can accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators, and the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, Spain, accommodates 100,000 spectators, so that everyone can compare. If there is no ticket for the Colosseum scene, it is necessary to queue up to buy tickets, and the number of people is still relatively large. There is a headset commentary that provides Chinese, and you need to leave a passport as collateral. Here Xiaobian still recommends that you better bring headphones, because the explanation is very detailed, in many places in the Colosseum will be marked with Arabic numerals, and then press that headset, you can listen to the detailed explanation.
The next must-see is Plaza de España. Piazza de España is where we watched Hepburn eat ice cream in Roman Holiday. There are famous brands gathered there, and if you want to go shopping, you must go to Plaza de España. Why is it called Plaza de España? Because there is an embassy in Spain. But this place is not only a place to shop, but also a lot of famous buildings, mainly made of Gothic and Baroque buildings. If you want to eat Hepburn's ice cream on Roman holidays, you should pay attention to it slowly, in fact, the shop is very small and cannot be missed. But in many squares of Rome shopping, you can see such handmade ice cream, in fact, the taste is the same.
The last must-see in Rome should be the Vatican around Rome, the vatican is the smallest country in the world, located in the northwest corner of Rome, not far away by car. There are only 800 people there, and the permanent population is only 500 people, but it is home to the world's largest religious building, St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world, and the architecture is very magnificent. If you are not a religious believer going to St. Peter's Basilica, you probably mainly feel its architecture.
St. Peter's Basilica was built during the Italian Renaissance by a number of architects and artists, including the Rafael Michelangelo we are familiar with. And in the open square, there are many statues, and the designer is also very famous - Bernini. There are majestic domes, spectacular frescoes, lavish papal altars, colourful marble floors... Every corner is the essence of art that needs to be savored.
