That's why we soon start climbing the stairs of the dome, from where we have a magnificent view over Saint Peter's Square and the Tiber river and Castel Sant Angelo behind.Īs we're back down we walk to this last building, but unfortunately the museum inside is closed today. It appears to be the funeral of a cardinal and the service, held in the front part of the church, makes it only possible to visit half of the interior of the giant basilica.

We move on to the Forum Romanum, where we get a first impression of antique Rome and continue to the Colosseum. We're impressed by the dimensions of the former church and the looks of it all. From here we walk to the Pantheon, another huge building on a tiny square, seeming even smaller through the giant construction. We stroll among large, old buildings to the Trevi Fountain, where crowds of tourists jostle on the tiny square in front of the fountain.

As we approach Rome the weather gets nicer and when arriving at Seven Hills Camping Village it's just lovely.
