My Trip to Rome!

Your Fabulous Trip to ROME!!!

June 1st- June 16th

Your flight will take off at 8:35 from BWI. It is flight Delta Air Lines 1825. You will transfer flights in Georgia to flight Delta Air Lines 240.

You will take a taxi to your 5-star hotel, Hotel Hassler.

Every morning before you leave, you will enjoy breakfast in the hotel's Salone Eva.

Every night when you get home, you will go to the hotel's Palm Court for dinner, and go to bed.

After sleeping and getting used to the different time zone, you will start your sightseeing trip on the 3rd. You will start with the Colosseum. The Colosseum is one of the greatest pieces of architecture from the Roman Empire, and it will be amazing to go the main place where the gladiators fought. (http://www.the-colosseum.net/idx-en.htm)

On the 4th you will go and marvel at the Sistine Chapel. It holds some of Michelangelo's finest work, such as the fresco on the ceiling and "The Last Judgement". The Sistine Chapel holds some of the best artwork ever created, and it would be a sin not to visit while in Rome. (Hehe, sin, get it? It's in the Vatican....... I thought it was funny) (http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/rome-sistine-chapel)

The 5th day will be the day to visit the Catacombs. The Catacombs were the place that many Christians had to hold secret mettings and bury their dead in before it was legal for them to do so in Rome. (http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/rome-catacombs)

On the 6th day, we will visit the Spanish Steps. During the Renaissance, it was a very popular location for artists and writers. It is now one of Rome's most famous locations. (http://www.italyguides.it/us/roma/spanish_steps.htm)

On the 7th day, the Piazza Novana is your destination. The artists Bernini and Borromini both contributed to the art in the square. There have been countless festicals and marketplaces there, and is a very enjoyable place to go.

The 8th day, the Villa Borghese awaits you. This park is the largest in Rome, and started as a vineyard. It is a beautiful and calming place to visit, and will provide some stress relief from all the traveling. (http://www.aviewoncities.com/rome/villaborghese.htm)

The 9th day brings the Trevi Fountain. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork in the world. If you want to return to Rome, throw a coin into the fountain over your shoulder. (http://www.italyguides.it/us/roma/trevi.htm)

The 10th day is the day when you will see the Pantheon. This is the largest piece of ancient agriculture on earth. It also set the precedents for all houses of worship built after it. It was originally used as a temple for the gods.

(

On the 3rd to last day, your destination will be the Castel Sant'Angelo. Located on the Tiber River, it was built by Hadrian for himself and emperors to come. It was a fortress that is totally cylindrical, but is now a burial and a tourist attraction.

(

On the 12th day, you will walk around Trastevere. It was a town built in Medieval Rome, and has winding alleys that a person could get lost in and enjoy. It's like stepping into the past, and it is perfect to just walk around in.

On the second to last day, you will see your final sight. The Piazza Campo di'Fiori is a village with some of the best resturants and bakeries in Rome. This is a place you can go to rest up before your journey home, and chow down on the last of the authentic Roman food you'll have until your next trip.
