On our last day in Rome, we went sightseeing to the spots we hadn't seen yet. We also did some repeats since they were on the way. First up was the Trevi Fountain. We wanted to see it in the daylight and we had to make our wishes.
On our way to the Pantheon, we walked passed by this square. The building behind us in where the Prime Minister of Italy lives.
We made it to the Pantheon!
Did you know that this dome is 2000 years old and is the largest unsupported concrete dome in the world still today! It really is incredible to think about all these old these buildings are and that they are still standing.
After many dead ends and backtracking and frustration, we finally did find Hadrian's Temple.
We continued our walking tour by going to Piazza Novona.
We ate lunch right on the square with a view of the fountain.
We took a small break in the afternoon, then went back out before dinner. We went back to the Spanish Steps. This time we started at the bottom of then and walked up then to go back and get ready for dinner.
It was beautiful out today and everywhere we went there were hourds of people.
We ate our last dinner at the Bernini Hotel at the 8th flour restaurant. There was a pretty,sweet view from our table. The outside had an outdoor balcony with some tables (it was too cold to sit and eat out there) but we were able to walk out there and take some pictures.
That's St. Peter's dome in the background.
Our dessert tonight was crazy good. Presentation was amazing. It was called the After 8 2.0 and was a fancy deconstructed After 8 dinner mint.
At the end of the day, my step counter showed our 2nd highest day of steps/mileage.
