6-Day Rome Itinerary on a Budget - Day 1 & 2

Rome Day 1: 28th May 2018 Tue

We travelled from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport to Airbnb near Metro, Ponte Lungo.
We had dinner at the Chinese Restaurant, Ju Ying Restaurant.

Address: Circonvallazione Appia, 1A 00179 Roma

Nice! 

Chewy. But may be a bit salty.

Maybe we were too hungry or it had been a while since we eat Chinese food, but the food was nice.

Rome Day 2: 29th May 2018 Tue

We reached the Colosseum at 9.30 am. By then, there were long queue and many tourists at there.

Colosseum

We bought the ticket online previously. But even then, we queued till 11.15 am before we were allowed to enter. The place was quite crowded but you would still be able to take picture of the ground inside.

We ate lunch at a restaurant near the Colosseum. I don't think it is nice.

Then we walked to Palatine Hill and reached around 2 pm. There was free washroom there. You can refill your water near there too. 

The Roman Forum was connected to Palatine Hill. The place was really big. Weather was warm.

  

We exited the place around 3.35 pm. We walked about 10 minutes and saw Fountain of the Adriatic Sea (Fontana dell'Adriatico) at Piazza Venezia.

Then we reached the famous Trevi fountain at 4.10 pm. There were many, and I mean many tourist there. The seats are totally occupied. Many people ate geleto there, but the price of the geleto there were more expensive.

We passed by Piazza di pietra at 4.45 pm.

We didn't resist the urge to eat a cup of geleto

Then we walked to Pantheon and Spanish Step.

Spanish Step

Spanish Step was really just many steps where many people sit to people watch. Of course, the road to it was occupied with many luxury shops.
