What a busy city. Getting from the Termini metro to the Trevi Station stop was easy. Navigating the street with full backpacks (and two hurt ankles) was not super fun. After checking into our lovely apartment (see previous post), we had a quick bite to eat before exploring the city. Overwhelmed with movement and noise, we escaped to Villa Borghese Gardens. Here it was quiet, with great views of Rome and Vatican City.
Coming down from the garden, we stumble upon the Spanish Steps filled with people. We retreat into Spagna station and find ourselves exited at Coloseo. Stepping out of the metro station, there is the Colosseum in all its glory. It’s the end of the day and crowds are low. We explore this area, including Palatine Hill.
On the way back, we found the co-op and bought groceries or dinner and breakfasts!
