Ciao tourists! Wow, Athens already introduced us to mass-tourism but Rome is of another level! Large crowds are not unknown to us, having both lived in China for years, but ever since we departed Shanghai we managed to escape the crowds and found our own, sometimes off the beaten track, roads. Nevertheless we really enjoyed Rome and were blown away by the different time layers of the city: from Roman times to Baroque to Renaissance.
Ancient selfie?
The Roman Forum (Foro Romano) and the Palatino used to be the busy and bustling centre of the Roman Empire
