I wrote before that I would have a 10-hour layover in Rome on my way from Tunis to Cairo this past summer. I asked for advice here and people were so very helpful…THANK YOU to all of those who helped.
My husband and I caught the train from the airport to the city center. The ride was a little longer than I expected, but it was worth it. We didn’t plan very well, but it was exciting to step off the train in Rome. We had no idea where to go or in what direction to go. We just started walking and asked people along the way. We found a cute gelato shop, nice gift shop, and finally the colosseum. We didn’t have a lot of time, so we didn’t tour the inside. It was amazing nonetheless. I did fall on the steps leading down to the colosseum though!
Then we took a cab from there to Trevi Fountain. I loved it! Then we walked again and found an adorable little alley filled with restaurants. We had a delicious lunch outside in that alley way. Then we made our way back to the train station on foot. We could have tried to take the metro trains, but we wanted to see as much of Rome as we could. It was a lovely day. We stopped and bought some fruit from a fruit stand. It was lovely!
We had such a nice time. I would love to go back to see more of the sights. We were only there a few hours, but those hours were precious ones!
