The spectacular view of the Petersplatz

Good morning! Let breakfast in a cozy cafe be a pleasant start to the day for you. Enjoy aromatic coffee with Italian puff pastry with topping.

To get to St. Peter's Square, use public transport. Take the subway station Vittorio Emanuele, and go to the station Ottaviano. Formally St. Peter's Square is not in Rome and not even in Italy, but on the territory of the city-state of Vatican. It is from here that the Pope sends his blessing to all Catholics.

The majestic building of St. Peter's Cathedral was built in the 17th century. Construction began in 1506 and lasted more than a hundred years. A huge contribution to the construction was made by Michelangelo Buonarroti, it was he who designed the magnificent dome of the building. At the top of the dome, there is an observation deck with a beautiful view of Rome. Better purchase the entrance tickets in advance to skip the long lines.

Sistine Chapel is one of the most popular museums of the Vatican, famous throughout the world for its magnificent frescoes. All the walls and ceiling of the chapel are painted with images of biblical scenes. On the south and east wall, there are frescoes depicting the life of the biblical prophet Moses, the images on the north wall are dedicated to Jesus Christ. In the Sistine Chapel, there is the most famous work of Michelangelo, The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam. Please note that in Rome at any time of the year there are a lot of tourists, so not to waste time on the queue to the ticket office, it is better to buy tickets in advance online.

After admiring the masterpieces of painting and architecture, allow yourself to enjoy the great Italian cuisine. According to the reviews, here you can try delicious smoked meat, goat cheese, ravioli, and the desserts are simply fantastic.

The bridge suits the general stylistics of the Baroque, which dominates in Rome. However, in fact, it is a fairly modern construction. The bridge is named after the Italian monarch. It was opened in 1911 during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy.

Walking the streets of Rome and enjoying the contrasts of antiquity and renaissance, you reach the Piazza Venezia. Here is the majestic monument Altar of the Fatherland. Like the Vittorio Bridge, this monument was erected in the early twentieth century, however, sculptors and architects tried to make it look like the buildings of ancient temples. Local residents do not really like this construction, believing that it looks ridiculous, but tourists mostly like the view. In winter, a giant Christmas tree is set on the square.

From the street, this restaurant looks rather modest, but its charm is hidden inside. The food here is delicious, the service is pretty quick and courteous. It serves open and closed pizzaz with a crunchy dough and a juicy filling. We also recommend you enjoying the white wine of local produce and do not forget about the classic Italian desserts.
