The Beginning

Continue from Part 1…The next morning, after the breakfast, we planned to visit the Colosseum.

The building is situated in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. It is considered as one of the greatest works of Roman architecture, as this also the largest amphitheatre ever built in Roman Empire. The Colosseum is capable of seating 50000 spectators for gladiator contests and public spectacles. [Read More here]

If you are taking the Rome Metro, you can stop at the station, Colosseo. Once you walked out from the station, the state-of-art building is just right in front of you. There are a lot of stalls selling souvenirs and yet some of them even wear like a Roman soldier to take photo with the tourists. Before you are allowed to visit the building, you have to buy the entry pass, which is around 10 Euro. [Check here for the ticketing]

I paid a short visit to this lovely city in one of the weekends, while I was working in Milan. I bought a train ticket to Rome and it took around 4 hours to reach Rome from Milan. The train was so crowded, and I don’t even get a seat.

Upon arrival at Termini Station, Rome, we took the Metro to Barberini station. From there, we walked up the hill and checked in to Hotel Ambasciatori, located at Via Vittorio Veneto 62.
