Here are some images of my trip to Rome and the Vatican City. First, can be seen at the Colosseum (Colloseo) and surrounding areas which has plenty of ancient monuments.

Next is Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum in the city centre.

A visit to the Vatican City (Citta' del Vaticano). There are usually long queues (see above) for the Vatican Museums unless a ticket is bought in advance. But well worth it, including the Sistine Chapel (inside the chapel is not shown).

with St. Peter's Basilica. It was raining that day, but the contrast of some late afternoon sunlight with the dark skies is panoramic.
