Last week I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. that I loved about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics from its distant past.These include the Roman Forum, Ancient Rome, as well as the vast Coliseum, the largest outdoor theatre ever built and one of the greatest wonders in the world.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at school and was excited to see them in real life.When I walked around the museum in Vatican City, I saw plenty of famous sculptures.The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo.
In Rome, there is a large offering of food for tourists, but some of it isn't very good in quality.I made an effort to find some restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomatoes, onions and bacon.I also loved eating ice cream and drinking hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
It was a perfect opportunity to buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
I love visiting new places, especially capital cities.I have been very lucky this year because I also visited Amsterdam in the summer.
