Rome (pt 2)

Day 4

As this is our last day in Rome, we tried to cover as many places as we could. Again, we took Linea A to our destination, which was a stop before Ottaviano. From there we walked to the Palazzo di Giustizia, which now houses the court houses. We then proceeded to Castel Sant’ Angelo, another famous spot in Rome featured in Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. Due to time constraint, we did not go into the castle. Instead, we walked across the river to the other side of Rome using the Ponte Sant’ Angelo, a pedestrian bridge decorated with angels.

Our journey for the later of the day covers: Piazza Navona – Pantheon – S. Ignazio di Coyola – Piazza di Spagna – Piazza del Popolo – Santa Maria Maggiore – Isola – Colosseo. Yes, we went to the Colosseum again just to view it at night. By the end of the day, we were all exhausted but looking forward to continuing our journey to Pisa and Florence.
