REVIEW: MY STAY IN ROME – RIVER PALACE HOTEL

Post available in English and Romanian
Locatia hotelului este foarte importanta in Roma. Asadar, daca aveti de gand sa vedeti multe obiective turistice, alegeti un hotel central, care va permite sa mergeti pe jos la cele mai importante si cunoscute locatii. 

Noi am stat la River Palace, aproape de Piazza del Popolo si de o statie de metrou. Locatia este perfecta pentru un turist activ, care vrea sa profite la maxim de vacanta sa la Roma.

Hotelul are acces rapid pe jos sau cu mijloacele de transport in comun la toate obiectivele turistice si cu legatura de metrou de la Termini se ajunge repede de la ambele aeroporturi, Fiumicino si Ciampino.

Stafful hotelului este de nota zece, nici nu am destule cuvinte de lauda pentru ca ne-au facut sederea placuta si relaxanta. La receptie toata lumea este foarte amabila si ii multumim in special Mihaelei, care ne-a dat sfaturi foarte bune legate de ce sa vedem si cel mai important unde sa mancam cat mai bine.

Am avut si micul dejun inclus si multe optiuni din care sa alegem. Nici nu imi venea sa ma ating de cafea ❤☕

The location of the hotel is very important in Rome. If you plan to visit a lot of the touristic objectives, make sure to pick a central location, as this will allow you to walk towards most of the important places.

We chose to stay at the River Palace Hotel, close to Piazza del Popolo, and the metro. The location is perfect for an active tourist that wants to make the most of a vacation to Rome.

You have quick access on foot or by public transport to all the touristic objectives, and you can easily catch a metro connection at Termini to get in from both airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino.

The staff of the hotel is amazing, I cannot praise them enough for making our stay as pleasant and relaxing as possible. The reception staff was very welcoming, especially Mihaela, she gave us great advice on what to see and most importantly where to eat some delicious Italian food.

We also had breakfast included, with many delicious options to choose from. Look at that pretty coffee heart ❤☕

ROME DAY FIVE: ARRIVEDERCI!

Post available in English and Romanian
A fost ultima noastra zi aici, asa ca am luat-o incet, dupa patru zile pline. Ne-am facut bagajul si am luat micul dejun in liniste, timp in care am planificat vizita la Galeriile Borgheze … noroc ca am realizat la timp ca muzeul e inchis lunea. Iata, inca un motiv sa revenim la Roma. Asa ca am ales sa facem pur si simplu o plimbare. Imi place sa ratacesc pe stradutele unui oras nou si sa vad totul dintr-o perspectiva mai putin turistica.  This was our last day here so we took it slow after for full days. We packed our bags after breakfast and wanted to visit the Borghese Galleries … but remembered quickly enough the museum is closed on Mondays. That’s another reason to come back to Rome. We decided to stroll around Rome just for the fun of it. I like “to get lost” on the streets and see the city from a non-touristic perspective.

ROME DAY THREE: FOOTBALL AND HISTORY

Post available in English and Romanian
Am inceput turul Romei antice, cu o vizita la Forumul Imperial. Ruinele romane sunt chiar langa Piazza Venezia si pot fi admirate gratis din strada. Am gasit aici si celebra Columna a lui Traian despre care sunt sigura ca ati invatat la orele de istorie si care ne spune povestea nasterii poporului roman. We started our Ancient Rome tour with a visit to the Imperial Forum. The Roman ruins are located next to Piazza Venezia, and you can only visit them from the street. We admired the majestic ruins and also Trajan’s Column, which basically depicts how the Romanian people was born.

ROME DAY TWO: THE VATICAN

Post available in English and Romanian
Am inceput ziua super devreme, pentru ca aveam bilete cumparate la Muzeul Vatican. Va recomand sa le cumparati din timp, pentru ca puteti da peste cozi lungi la case. Am ajuns la muzeu la ora rezervata si am inceput turul imediat. In mod surprizantor cel mai mult nu m-a impresionat Capela Sixtina, ci o colectie mica de piese egiptene. We had an early start to our second day in Rome since we had tickets to the Vatican Museum. I recommend you to buy them in advance because the lines can get pretty long. We arrived at the museum at the hour we booked and started our tour. My favorite part was surprisingly not the Sixtine Chapel, but a small collection of Egyptian pieces.
