Opening hours: Free admission all day. Other consumption items in the scenic area need to be purchased. You can go to where to buy the Rome combined ticket online. Metro: Take Line A to Barberini Station, walk about minutes southwest, and take the bus to Tritone-FontanaDiTrevi Station.
It is only a few minutes walk away. Fortunately, this cup of the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted in my life comforted Yunluo's injured heart. You must not miss tasting ice cream when you come to Rome. I am not asking you to learn from Audrey Hepburn, but this ice cream is so delicious. This ice cream shop next to the Trevi Fountain is really very good, and many tourists come here for its reputation. This stop in Rome on the European trip is over.
Yunluo was enlightened about the history and culture of Rome and gained a lot. The Rome in her dreams, the dream of Rome, was finally fulfilled. Yunluo was happy. Although it was a fleeting contact, it left a lifetime of beauty. Just like the protagonist of "Roman Holiday", one day in Rome locked her life forever. At the end of the play, when the two looked into each other's eyes with deep affection, the princess gently said goodbye!
But it contains thousands of words from her. Yunluo also wants to say her words "I love Rome the most". Reply to Ice and Snow Beauty Haha Floor Ice and Snow Beauty Haha Floor Owner Travel Notes Master Posted: -: Vatican ①: The Most Sacred Country Vatican Vatican is one of the smallest and least populated countries in the world, equivalent to three fifths of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Although it is a small country, as the highest authority of the Catholic Church, it has an important influence in the world. Vatican City is located in Rome. Vatican City is a typical city within a city. Vatican City is the capital of Vatican City, that is, the country, so it is called "city-state". Vatican City is a country that combines politics and religion, and the Pope is the head of Vatican City.
The Pope has the highest legislative, judicial and administrative powers. He calls himself "Christ's representative on earth" and is the spiritual leader of the world's Catholics. Doesn't he feel that he is small but has everything? Passing by the beautiful Tiber River. This is the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Angel Bridge. The mother river of the Vatican is shaded by green trees. The Vatican is a country where politics and religion are unified.
The Pope is the head of the Vatican and has the highest legislative, judicial and administrative powers. He calls himself "Christ's Vicar on Earth" and is the spiritual leader of the world's Catholics. It may seem small, but it has everything. Most tourists to the Vatican come to the world's largest Catholic church, St. Peter's Basilica.
The church was originally built by Constantine the Great on the site of St. Peter's tomb in 1644 AD. It was called the Old St. Peter's Basilica and was a basilica-style building. Later, Pope Julio II decided to rebuild St. Peter's Basilica and broke ground in 1644. It was not officially completed until 1645 and was called the New St. Peter's Basilica. Important religious ceremonies since 1644 have been held here.
St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is the first of the five largest cathedrals in the world (St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Milan Cathedral in Italy, Selva Cathedral in Spain, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Italy, St. Paul's Cathedral in the UK). The Egyptian obelisk standing tall in the center of the square looks particularly divine.
This obelisk has no inscriptions or paintings. It is said that Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, brought it back from Alexandria after conquering Egypt. St. Peter's Basilica is also called "St. Peter's Basilica". St. Peter is one of Jesus' favorite disciples. In front of the church is the world-famous St. Peter's Square.
St. Peter's Basilica has a total area of 10,000 square meters. The main building is meters high and about meters long. It can accommodate nearly 10,000 people praying at the same time. However, you must be dressed neatly and pass security checks before entering the church. On the top of each Roman stone column in the square, there are various statues. They are all saints in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, with different expressions.
Lifelike. There is a beautiful fountain on each side of the obelisk, which is said to symbolize the water of life given by God to believers. Unfortunately, the fountain is not open. Everyone who walks into St. Peter's Square is moved by this grand scene. There is a clock on each side above St. Peter's Basilica, the left one is the Roman time and the right one is the Greenwich time.
The architectural style of St. Peter's Basilica is a distinct Renaissance classicism, with Roman domes and Greek columns as its main features. There are two tall and exquisite statues on the left and right in front of the main entrance of the church. The one on the right is St. John, Jesus' most beloved disciple. Look at the bird above his head.
The statue of Jesus being crucified at the door was so strong that Yun Luo's heart was shaken. He couldn't tell what it was. Looking back, the monument seemed to soar into the sky. Entering the church, he felt the splendor, dim light, and mystery. A deep and sacred feeling flowed through his blood.
On the left side of the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica stands a tall statue of St. Peter, who was the first of Jesus' disciples. St. Peter's Basilica was built in his memory. In the portrait, he looks calm and smiling, holding two golden keys to heaven given to him by Jesus in his right hand, and a holy edict given to him by Jesus in his left hand.
The curls on his head, the wrinkles on his face, the tufts of beard on his chin and the layers of robes on his body are all carved delicately and realistically. Highlight 1: Pietà, this is Michelangelo's sculpture "Pietà" when he was 18 years old. The grief of the Virgin Mary holding her dead son and her obedience to God's will are vividly portrayed in the work.
Highlight 2: St. Peter's throne, also designed by Bernini, is a gilded bronze throne. Above the throne is a wooden chair with ivory ornaments and a shining glory niche. On the back of the chair are two little angels holding the key to heaven and the Pope's triple crown. Legend has it that this wooden chair is the real throne of St. Peter.
It was later verified that it was a gift from the Carolingian King Tyrrhen II. Highlight 3: The bronze canopy, which is supported by a spiral copper column and is as high as a building. A perpetual lamp is always lit on the semicircular railing in front of the canopy, and below is the altar of the pontiff and the tomb of St. Peter. Only the pope can offer sacrifices on this altar.
Facing the rising sun, the mass is held in front of the pilgrims. The interior of the hall is in the shape of a cross, and the intersection of the cross is the center of the church. Standing under the dome and looking up, you will feel that everything in the hall seems so small. Above the magnificent canopy is the dome on the top of the church, with a diameter of meters and meters above the ground.
The dome and the top of the entire hall are covered with beautiful patterns and reliefs. No matter how gorgeous the words are, they cannot express the magnificence of this place. One encounter left Yunluo with an eternal impression for life. A beam of sunlight shone into the hall from the dome, adding a mysterious color to the solemn and dark church. The dome seemed to be the door to heaven.
The nun took photos with everyone enthusiastically. Amen, it's what I wish for. Each small hall is decorated with murals, reliefs and statues, with various images. The interior of the church is gorgeously decorated. It is so gorgeous that it makes people feel uneasy and suffocated. Whoever comes to such a gorgeous church hopes to leave a memory here. Entering here, you will be fascinated by various art treasures.
There are masterpieces of two great artists inside. One is Bernini, a talented sculptor known as the "Father of Baroque Art". The other is of course Michelangelo. A pair of innocent and lovely little angels. It gives people a wonderful feeling. With the light of Jesus, I wish for Yunluo to fulfill my wish. Amen.
For four hundred years, the various wonderful statues of saints have been telling the name of the talented architectural genius: Bernini, the father of Baroque art. The tall stone columns and walls, the arched roof, the colorful patterns, the lifelike statues, the exquisite reliefs, the magnificence and profound humanistic and artistic heritage of St. Peter's Basilica.
It will surely shock the tourists who visit here. St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is actually one of the pilgrimage sites of European Catholics, which reminds Yunluo of the Islamic holy land "Saudi Mecca" and the scene of pilgrims on a certain day every year. St. Peter's Basilica is not only a magnificent architectural temple worth visiting.
It has hundreds of art treasures. It is considered a priceless asset. It covers a large area and has so many attractions that you will not know where to start after entering. You will be excited and confused. The floor is paved with colored marble and is bright. All the portraits inside are made of different colored marbles.
Tripods and flash photography are not allowed. At this moment, the church bells sounded deep and distant. Slow down and concentrate on listening to this most wonderful sound of nature. The gate on the left side of the cathedral is guarded by the Royal Guards, who are the army of the Vatican. The uniforms worn by the guards are still the style designed by Michelangelo many years ago.
It has become an important sight in the Vatican besides religion. It attracts many people to take photos. The guards are all tall and strong. They wear ancient knight costumes with red, yellow and blue stripes, holding long halberds, and look majestic. They are all Swiss. It is said that at the beginning of the century, the Pope was attacked by the Holy Roman Empire, and they defended the Pope.
Many Swiss guards died outside the church, and the pope at that time was very moved, so he decided to hire Swiss guards to protect the church from generation to generation. The columns of meters high are extraordinary and awe-inspiring. A visit to the Vatican left Yunluo with a deep and unforgettable impression. This small country exudes a god-like charm in a short contact.
It gave Yunluo a lifetime of memories. I like the feeling of walking on the road. Besides being cool, I also learned knowledge, gained insights, and was more spiritually enriched. Tips for traveling to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican: Dress code: There are staff at the entrance of the Vatican Church to check clothing. Exposing too much skin, wear shorts.

Opening hours: from February to February (Tuesday and Saturday): :-:; Sunday: :-:; from February to February (Tuesday and Saturday) Tickets for attractions: free entry to the church, tickets for the dome: EUR for the elevator, EUR for the stairs, sometimes you have to wait in line for one to two hours.
It is recommended to go early. Florence, the Holy Land of Renaissance. Last night, I stayed at the Novotel global chain hotel in Venice, which is a world-renowned business hotel brand. It is a foreign four-star hotel, which feels OK.
The air outside is so fresh when I wake up in the morning! We set off from Rome to Florence, the Renaissance resort. Along the way, we enjoyed the beautiful countryside and green vineyards. At the rest stop, drivers in foreign countries must rest for 10 minutes after driving for two hours. The automatic driving recorder on the bus will record the driving time every day.
The police not only check the driving interval and driving speed records of the day, but also check the driving interval and driving speed of the day. Many long-distance buses are started with cards, one card per person, and strictly regulated. If the time is exceeded, the vehicle will automatically shut down and must be started with another driver's card. It would be great if Yunluoguo had such regulations! I really think every place here is so clean.
While waiting, I hope to take a picture of everything here, this one, that one, I am so happy. What a blue sky! Florence is a famous cultural city with a long history in Italy. It is not only the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, but also the birthplace of European culture. It is a beautiful place with outstanding people.
Artists and poets emerged in endlessly, and the great poet Dante was born here. Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, who are known as the "three masters" of the Renaissance, all came from this small town. The most famous poet Xu Zhimo, who made Yunluo and An Chuyu a household name, also had a connection with this city because of his book "A Night in Florence".
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The name "Florence" translated by him is far more poetic and colorful than the other translation "Florence". It is also more in line with the temperament of the ancient city. Later, many famous works and books by writers and painters in Yunluo Kingdom came from here. I believe they are all inherited from Xu Zhimo's poetry. This is also a world-famous cultural tourist destination.
To be honest, Yunluo really likes this kind of city with stories, and has a strong interest in historical sites and cultural relics. It not only makes Yunluo learn new things, but also makes Yunluo think a lot. Under the blue sky. A series of street advertisements are quite dazzling. In all cities in Europe, pigeons can be seen everywhere. This is the real dove of peace!
Yunluo couldn't imagine what would happen to them if they lived like this in China. Clean streets. Yunluo felt that the reasons why European cities were so clean were: sparse population, quality education from childhood, no miscellaneous street vendors, no street food with smoke everywhere. Italy would also be very hot in the summer, with the highest temperature reaching around 30 degrees.
However, I hardly see any air conditioners installed outside the walls here. In fact, there is a temperature difference between morning and evening in summer, which is quite comfortable. It is very cold and snowy in winter, but the heating is turned on. For many Europeans, summer vacation is the best time of the year. Choosing a vacation spot and staying there comfortably for a while is an important part of their lives.
Sunshine and the sea are still their favorites. Today's attraction is the world's fourth-ranked cathedral, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It is located in the streets and alleys of residential areas. It is not accessible by car. The car is parked on the street. Yunluo and An Chuyu walk through the streets and alleys like treasure hunting. It is really a pleasure to walk through the old streets here leisurely.
Market culture is so intimate, you meet each other and say hello, on the road of travel, happiness is infinite and ubiquitous. The ancient granite, worn by the wheel of time, has become bumpy and smooth. The vastness of time is "within reach". Whether you are strolling in the streets and alleys of Florence, or visiting museums, art galleries or churches.
You will definitely feel the rich cultural atmosphere of the ancient city of Florence. Cute Italian boys usually ask for permission before taking photos of others, which is a courtesy to respect others. This kind of walking into the cloud is not counted. If you see someone rushing towards the camera, just take photos boldly, and keep taking photos! A wide range of goods.
However, you rarely see those messy billboards. The kitchen windows have also become part of street art. Who is this master? Florence has left countless historical memories for modern people in this magnificent place. The great poet Dante was born in this city of art, and Dante's former residence is still preserved in Florence.
Many tourists come here to visit. The most common car in Europe, convenient, environmentally friendly and affordable. Why? Why don't Yunluo and Anchu meet Huaguo? The shuttle carriage is a good choice for tourists to take a nostalgic and leisurely tour of the city. Sometimes I feel that the decoration outside the wall is more gorgeous than the inside of the house.
The magnificent and exquisite sculptures add a lot of charm to this place. There are museums and art galleries, many palaces and many large and small churches in Florence, which house a large number of excellent works of art and precious cultural relics, so it is also known as the "Athens of the West". The one in front is the Chapel of San Giovanni, passing by.
The blue sky and white clouds under the sun, the colorful walls, the dark green shutters, and the dark red roofs are the iconic colors here. Walking along, it feels like traveling through a time tunnel, and the strong medieval atmosphere surrounds you almost all the time. Wandering in the streets and alleys of Florence, Italy, the entire city still maintains the layout of the ancient Roman period.
There are many medieval architectural arts. This is one of the richest places in the world to preserve Renaissance artworks. So if you are an art lover, you must visit Florence once in your life. The carriages passing by also become a landscape on the street, a perfect combination of modern and retro. Feel the real "old streets of ancient towns" in Europe, although it is just a glimpse.
But it was like being there. I like these little touches of Italians. If it was placed at the doorstep of Yunluo's house, would it be hard to find? This Pizzeria in Florence is really amazing and authentic. The world's most famous Italian wine, Rosina, was born in Florence. Today, I was lucky enough to taste the most local food and wine.
Pasta is almost the spokesperson for Italian cuisine. According to statistics, there are many shapes of pasta, and the colors are also colorful, red, yellow, black, white, and green, and the sauces are countless. (~^~)
