Xiaomifengfengfeng: The bathroom was spacious, and the service was excellent; they even helped us split the king-size bed into two separate beds. The overall space was remarkably large for a European hotel, and it was very clean. The location was super convenient for getting around, and the air conditioning worked well – a big plus!

Alison’s Silk Road Travels: I stayed at Hotel Stromboli During mid August 2026. I have stayed here many times. It is a very convenient hotel near the train station and the Airport Bus. It is also in close proximity to the central Termini museums. The area is good and safe. There is a water fountain a few minuets from the Hotel. There are many places to eat locally and there is a supermarket. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe staying at this hotel and that’s why I return. The room is comfortable and convenient. There is a lift. There is a lobby with a breakfast and coffee area. My room was bigger than expected for a single room with a bigger than expected bed. The bathroom is well equipped with a shower. I had a fridge and a kettle in my room. There is a window with shutters that you can open. There is air conditioning in the room. As I stayed in August during the heatwave my room was comfortable. I like staying at Hotel Stromboli. It’s a great budget price for solo travellers. It’s not really a honeymoon couples love nest. But it’s great for budget travel and I was very comfortable. I didn’t have breakfast do I can’t comment. There are snacks in the lobby. The images are of my single room. I like to walk round Rome and visit the museums. As it’s do central it’s great for this. Take bus 40 or H bus right across Rome it’s near the hotel. Ideal and convenient.

Guest User: We were extremely satisfied with our stay. We booked a 4 people room,and it was very spacious. The air conditioning was quiet, and the safe box was large enough to fit a laptop. The location was excellent as well—less than a 10-minute walk from the train station, with plenty of restaurants nearby. We arrived in the morning, and the hotel kindly stored our luggage free of charge. We could also refill our water bottles at the restaurant whenever we wanted. The breakfast was plentiful and offered a great variety of choices. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel!

Anonymous User: The staff were incredibly welcoming; they even offered us welcome drinks upon arrival and showed us around the area on a map, pointing out attractions. It made us feel safe and at ease. The cleaning staff were very considerate. They tidied our room promptly every day, and the bedding was exceptionally clean – the hygiene was excellent. The only thing to note is that one day we returned to find the ozone machine on. Luckily, I saw it, otherwise, it seems it wouldn't have turned off automatically without a timer? Operating an ozone machine in a confined space can be harmful to people, so this needs extra attention. We tried the breakfast one morning, but the taste was quite ordinary and not really to our liking. There are probably better options available. Otherwise, there were no issues at all. We recommend staying here.

For this trip to Shanghai, I chose to stay at the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai🏨. Located on the banks of Suzhou Creek, this hotel isn't just cold, corporate luxury; it seamlessly weaves the romance of a Roman jewelry atelier into the urban fabric of Shanghai💫 📍 Hotel location Located at Lane 108, North Shanxi Road, Jing'an District, it occupies the top 8 floors of a 48-story tower, facing Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River skyline🌉 The modern high-rise tower perfectly integrates with the former site of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce from 1916, creating a dialogue between new and old architecture where history and modernity collide✨ 🚇 Transportation guide Take Line 10 or Line 12 to Tiantong Road Station, and it's just a few minutes' walk away. It's about a 35-minute drive from Hongqiao Airport and about a 45-minute drive from Pudong Airport🚗 🛏️ Room selection guide The all-suite design is incredibly lavish! Base city view rooms start at 52 sqm, and suites range from 81 sqm to 400 sqm, which is truly generous for a hotel in downtown Shanghai💎 Take my advice: if your budget allows, go straight for the Bund view room! The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows face the Bund's historic architecture and the Lujiazui skyline. Enjoy the bustling city by day and the city lights by night🌃. Guests have shared that you can "watch the night view while lying in the room," and even enjoy the lights while taking a bath—it's worth every penny!😍 🏰 Hotel highlights guide 47th floor: The Bvlgari Bar + Il Ristorante A one-star Michelin Italian restaurant with an oval bar inspired by the Barcaccia Fountain in Rome⛲. Have a drink here while enjoying the beautiful view of Suzhou Creek and the Pudong skyline intertwined outside the window~ 48th floor: La Terrazza rooftop bar One of the most worth-visiting rooftop bars in all of Shanghai! Standing on the 48th-floor terrace, you can take in the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai Tower, and Waibaidu Bridge🌆. The evening is the best time—within just 1 hour, you can experience the sunset, the blue hour, and the city night view. It's so photogenic📸 B1 floor: Pool and SPA A 2,000-square-meter spa center with a high-end, private pool design and linen curtains that create a perfect atmosphere🕯️. After the spa, you'll be enveloped in the signature Bulgari white tea scent—it's so healing~ Hidden perks: The hotel offers private tours in a luxury Maserati, which you can arrange through the concierge~ There are also detailed services like luggage unpacking and storage, and garment pressing, providing a full butler-style experience💯 📸 Photo guide Spiral staircase: The marble spiral staircase makes for a great photo every time✨ Floor-to-ceiling window breakfast: Order the 24-hour in-room breakfast and frame the Bund skyline in your shot🍳. A guest commented that "the fried dough sticks (youtiao) were the best I've had in Shanghai"🤤 Guest room sofa: Drape yourself in a Bulgari blanket on the sofa with a drink from the minibar for the perfect vibe🥂 Hotel entrance corridor: Borrow an umbrella with the Bulgari logo as a prop, turn on the flash, and you've got that luxurious look👑 47th-floor bar at dusk: Sunset is the best time for silhouettes; wearing a silk slip dress looks stunning💃 🍽️ Dining recommendations Il Ristorante – Niko Romito (one-star Michelin): Authentic Italian cuisine by a celebrity chef; you can't go wrong with the lobster pasta or black truffle dishes🍝 Bao Li Xuan (two-star Michelin): Hidden in the former site of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce from 1916, specializing in classic Cantonese cuisine🥢. The environment is vintage, making it great for business dinners or family gatherings! However, some guests have noted that the "taste is very average," though the service is enthusiastic~ 24-hour breakfast: You can order breakfast to your room at any time; the rhythm of a vacation where you sleep until you wake up naturally is just wonderful☀️ Afternoon tea: 47th-floor river view seats, exquisite snacks, and custom tableware. Remember to book a view seat in advance🍰 🚶 Nearby Citywalk recommendations Within walking distance: Suzhou Creek Trail, former site of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce (right next door), Sihang Warehouse Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, Shanghai Postal Museum A bit further: Waibaidu Bridge (about 780m), Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street (about 780m), and the Bund (a 10-minute walk)🚶♀️ ⚠️ Important notes Bulgari is not part of the Marriott Bonvoy membership system, so points and benefits do not apply Base room types start at about 5,000+ RMB/night in the off-season; Bund view suites are more expensive Check-in after 3:00 PM, check-out before 12:00 PM Pets are not allowed My biggest takeaway after staying here: The "luxury" of Bulgari isn't just in the hardware, but in an atmosphere that's hard to replicate💫. From the Italian fragrance the moment you walk into the lobby, to the touch of every piece of custom furniture in the room, to that glass of gin enjoyed on the 48th floor overlooking all of Lujiazui—it perfectly blends the "romance of a Roman jewelry atelier" with the "urban ambition of Shanghai"✨
Walking into the Roman Forum, I finally understood that some places are not just attractions, but the still-beating heart of an empire❤️ I arrived here as my first stop in the Eternal City of Rome. It has witnessed Cicero's eloquence, Caesar's assassination, and the glory and decline of the empire. Standing among the ruins, the wind blows through, carrying echoes from over 2,000 years ago. Under Caesar and Octavian, Rome entered the imperial era, and the Forum experienced its most glorious period. Augustus once said, "I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble." This is the origin of "all roads lead to Rome." The Temple of Saturn housed the empire's vast treasury, and in the Temple of Vesta, the Vestal Virgins guarded the sacred fire that symbolized Rome's eternal life🔥 Later, the center of power shifted east, and Rome was frequently looted. During the Middle Ages, silt from the Tiber River gradually buried the ruins, turning this place into a pasture. It wasn't until the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with the rise of modern archaeology, that the Roman Forum was unearthed. From the heart of an empire to a pile of ruins, and then to a World Heritage site, it has spanned over 2,000 years of history. I stood there, watching the sunset turn the stone pillars gold, and suddenly felt that the empire's breath had never stopped; it just changed form and continued in the wind🌅 Come to Rome and plan a relaxing 3-day trip👇 Day 1: The heartbeat of the empire💓 Morning: Walk into the Roman Forum and stroll between the temples and triumphal arches; Afternoon: Go to the Colosseum and watch the sunlight pass through the arches; Evening: On Palatine Hill, watch the sunset paint the city gold. Day 2: A Baroque dream🎭 Morning: Visit the Borghese Gallery and linger before Bernini's sculptures; Afternoon: Go to the Trevi Fountain and toss a coin into the night; Evening: On the Spanish Steps, watch the whole city sink into twilight. Day 3: Farewell and reunion👋 Morning: Go to the Vatican Museums and stand in silence before Raphael's paintings; Afternoon: Walk through the colonnades of St. Peter's Square; Evening: Return to the Roman Forum, take one last look at those silent stone pillars, and head home, carrying the light and shadows of Rome.
Someone once told me that if you want to see Rome at its most beautiful, you have to try waking up before the rest of the world just once... And once I actually did it, I realized exactly how much that early start was worth. ❤️ Normally, Rome is a city brimming with energy, voices, and travelers from every corner of the globe. But in the quiet of the early morning—before the shops open and the first tour groups begin their trek—this bustling metropolis becomes unexpectedly serene. The ancient cobblestone streets, usually packed with people, turn into open pathways where you can wander slowly, soak in the atmosphere, and stop to take photos whenever the mood strikes without having to dodge anyone. 📷 As the morning sun begins to drape over buildings that have stood for centuries, the sound of footsteps on stone, the birdsong, and the rich scent of espresso from small roadside cafes make it feel like you’ve stepped into a scene from a classic Italian film. ☕️ I saw the Trevi Fountain without the crowds, strolled through breathtaking piazzas without being pushed around, and captured angles of the city that are almost impossible to see during the day. What I loved most wasn't just the beautiful photos I took, but the feeling of truly sharing time with the city—slowly, without the rush, and without racing against the clock. Just walking and letting Rome tell its own story through its architecture, its streets, and the morning light. Rome by day is stunning, but there is a unique charm to Rome while the tourists are still asleep. 🤍 Sometimes, the best part of traveling isn't about visiting every single landmark, but about experiencing the same place at a completely different time. If you ever have the chance to visit Rome, try setting your alarm a little earlier than usual. Grab your camera and just go for a walk. You might just find yourself falling in love with Rome all over again… 🇮🇹✨
There are too many artworks to count, endless photo spots, and you can get great shots whether it's cloudy or sunny. The butler mentioned that many of the artworks were flown in from Rome. Walking through the hotel, you really get the feeling of being in Hangzhou while your soul is in Florence. 📸 Why it's a paradise for photos The hotel's design is stunning, filled with an array of artworks and intricate details that instantly transport you to Italy. From the 1F lobby to the 43F sky lobby, and then to the 40th-floor Milan-themed room where I stayed, I couldn't stop taking photos. Golden arches, Roman columns, green walls, face fountains, silver lion sculptures, crystal chandeliers, vintage tapestries... every corner is a fragment of the Renaissance. Great photos in any weather. Indoor spots have even lighting, and cloudy days are actually softer, so the details of the stone carvings aren't lost to harsh light. High-altitude spots are enhanced by natural sunlight on clear days, making the river views look incredible. There are too many artworks to count. The butler mentioned that many were flown in from Rome—these aren't just generic decorative prints, but high-quality sculptures, oil paintings, mosaics, handmade glass, and exquisite tapestries. 💡 Photography tips For outfits, black, off-white, and burgundy are the safest choices, as they pair perfectly with the warm gold and dark marble color scheme. The black strapless dress and straw hat in the photos match the white guest room corridor, arches, green sofa, red wall, and artworks beautifully.

❤Recommended reason: When you climb to the top of Masada under the scorching sun during the hottest part of the day, weaving between the broken walls and ruins, a spirit of exploration tells you: it is worth it. 🌟Highlights: This World Heritage site in the Judean Desert has weathered two thousand years of wind and sand. The broken columns of Herod's Palace, the remains of the water storage system, the ruins of the Roman siege ramp... everything, like the Dead Sea in the distance, unfolds quietly here, telling the history of freedom and dignity. In 73 AD, after the Romans breached the Temple in Jerusalem, this place became the last fortress of Jewish resistance against Rome. After enduring a siege by the Roman army that cut off all escape routes, they chose mass martyrdom to avoid humiliation. The leader at the time, Eleazar, tragically said: "We were the first to revolt against Rome, and we are the last to lay down our arms. Let us die as free men, and not let our wives and children become slaves." Therefore, it has become a spiritual imprint engraved in the bones and blood of the Jewish people. Just as it is lamented in "Jerusalem: The Biography": "The story of Masada has long transcended a single war, becoming a symbol of a nation's unyielding memory."
Rome isn't just a travel destination; it's a living museum with over 2,000 years of history that has served as a backdrop for countless iconic films, from the epic Gladiator to the high-octane Mission: Impossible. 🎥 What makes Rome truly special is how much of it remains intact. You can walk through centuries-old streets and squares, soaking in the exact same atmosphere you've seen on the big screen. 🏛️ Must-Visit Cinematic Spots Colosseum The symbol of Rome and the site that instantly elevates the grandeur of films like Gladiator. Trevi Fountain A classic marble fountain and one of the most filmed landmarks in cinematic history. Piazza Navona A central square bursting with Baroque architecture, charming cafes, and pure Roman vibes. Via dei Fori Imperiali A road that winds through the ruins of the Roman Empire, making you feel like you've stepped right into a historical epic. 🎞️ Why Visit? Because Rome is one of the rare places where history and cinema collide in the exact same spot. You don't have to be a cinephile to enjoy retracing these steps. Just wandering through the old town, admiring the warm-toned stone buildings, ducking into a tiny cafe, and seeing the Colosseum with your own eyes is enough to understand why directors from across the globe fall in love with this city. ❤️ Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 A city where sometimes… we don't just step into a movie, but it's the movie that inspires us to step into the city.

After September, Lijiang is so chill as the crowds thin out.

Your ticket includes the Roman forum and palatine hill so is excellent value
_TI***h4It's alright. If you've already visited all the other major Italian attractions, you can check it out. I don't really understand their religious beliefs or stories, but the scenery is quite nice, and you can see the city views.
M77***16Amazing gallery! Book early ahead of time. But it is one of the best things to do in Rome.
Brent JosephThere were no crowds, so there was no waiting either. It was a lovely experience, with a beautiful view from the castle and a café at the top.
Tanja08Roman Forum and the Colosseum are amazing historical places everyone should see. The tickets, adult + child x2 full experience are the best for the value we have paid.
Danijela M.Villa Borghese Gardens is one of the most beautiful and peaceful green spaces in Rome, offering a refreshing escape from the city’s busy streets. The expansive park is filled with lush trees, colorful flowers, elegant fountains, quiet pathways, and beautiful viewpoints. Walking through the gardens feels relaxing, with plenty of scenic spots to stop, take photographs, or simply enjoy nature. The park also offers wonderful views toward Rome, making it especially enjoyable around sunset. Visitors can explore its charming corners, admire historic architecture, and spend a peaceful afternoon surrounded by greenery. Villa Borghese is a perfect destination for nature lovers, photographers, couples, and travelers looking for a relaxing experience in Rome.
Hossain Hoq ProhorOne extra suggestion for visiting the Trevi Fountain is to spend a bit of time in the surrounding streets, not just the fountain itself. The small alleys around Piazza di Trevi are full of cafés, gelato shops, and quieter viewpoints where you can see the fountain from above without the main crowd.Also, try to visit twice if possible: once early morning for photos and once at night for atmosphere. The lighting completely changes the feeling of the place. Another useful tip is to stand slightly off to the side rather than directly in front of the central barrier, as it gives a better angle for photos and avoids the heaviest crowd flow. Finally, keep in mind it is a historic monument, so respecting the space helps keep the experience pleasant for everyone.The photo was taken at the Trevi Fountain, located in the historic center of Rome.It sits in a small square (Piazza di Trevi), surrounded by narrow streets and classic Roman buildings. The closest major landmark is the Pantheon area, about 10–15 minutes walking distance away. From Piazza Venezia, you can reach it on foot in about 10 minutes by walking through Via del Corso and then turning into the smaller side streets toward the fountain.The exact address is Piazza di Trevi, 00187 Roma RM, Italy. The photo was likely taken right in front of the main fountain basin, where the Neptune sculpture and cascading water are visible, which is the most common viewpoint for visitors.
MARK MORDOVTSEV## Mirror of Lies: Soul-Eating Ceremony of the Mouth of Truth When you squeeze through the noisy crowd of the Cosmedin Church, you suddenly bump into the iron-blue stone face in the niche - the mask of the river god with slightly open fangs is covered with moss, and the eye sockets are covered with centuries of dust. This ancient Roman sewer manhole cover was transformed into a lie-eating beast because of "Roman Holiday". Don't be deceived by the laughter of tourists: the moment you put your hand into its mouth, you will fall into a soul trial spanning a thousand years. **Roman humor under the myth of lie detection**. Please look closely at the stone surface when queuing: the craftsmen in the first century AD deliberately carved the sea god into a horrified expression, originally to deter floods. One night in the Middle Ages, a drunkard stuck his hand between the fangs and cried and confessed his guilt, and an absurd legend was born. Today, husbands pretend to be bitten and scream, and wives hold their mobile phones and laugh and bend over - when the jungle of selfie sticks submerges the stone statue, the Mouth of Truth has long become a stage prop for contemporary people to create sweet lies. **The hidden line of truth between the stone pillars of the church**. Don't ignore the church behind because of the crowd! On the sixth-century mosaic altar, Christ is crushing the head of a snake (the incarnation of truth). Look up at the dome: St. Peter is the only one missing among the twelve apostles - it is said that the devil stole his statue during construction, but it fell into the Tiber River due to the burns of the church's holy light. When your fingertips brush over the cracks in the north wall (the signature of the 1348 earthquake), you suddenly see the afterimage of the saint in the red light of the stained glass window: it turns out that truth never lives in the fangs of stone statues, but flows in the scars of time that have crushed the building. **The Liar's Monologue in the Moonlight**. After closing, go around to the small garden on the east side of the church, and the Mouth of Truth turns back into a gloomy monster behind the fence. Put your palms against the iron bars and look at the stone statue, and the roar of the ancient Roman aqueduct floats in the wind. One night in the third century AD, pagans carved anti-Christian slogans on this stone, and the priests used holy water to wash the fangs that appeared. At this moment, the cool air seeps out of the cracks in the stone and wraps around my wrist, as if two thousand years of lies and confessions have condensed into salt here - what we fear is never the bite of the stone, but the piercing of the shadow in our hearts. Please take out the coins and put them in the donation box before leaving. When the crisp sound of metal hitting the bottom of the box echoes through the empty courtyard, it is like the trembling sound of the soul's balance returning to zero. As the candlelight flickers in the altar, you suddenly realize: the most terrifying thing about this stone statue is not the fangs but the hollow throat - there are countless untold truths deposited there, like the silent ancient pottery fragments at the bottom of the Tiber River. And the 14th-century crucifix forgotten by tourists in the corner of the church, wild violets are blooming between the ribs of the wooden sculpture of Christ, mocking the human obsessive pursuit of "absolute truth" with gentle vitality.
学校🏫I would describe the Arch of Constantine as one of those places in Rome that you almost underestimate until you stand right in front of it. It is not just an arch, but a powerful visual connection between ancient history and the modern flow of tourists moving toward the Colosseum. What impressed me most was how naturally it fits into the landscape, as if it has always been part of the city’s rhythm.Business Hours:Open 24 hours (outdoor public monument, accessible at any time)Address:Via di San Gregorio, 00186 Roma RM, Italy (next to the Colosseum)Tips:Visit early in the morning or near sunset to avoid heavy crowds and get better lighting. Don’t rush past it on the way to the Colosseum, take time to walk around and observe the detailed reliefs on all sides. For the best photo, step a little back toward the road to capture both the arch and the Colosseum in one frame.Reasons to Recommend:I would recommend it because it gives a real sense of ancient Rome in one view. The combination of scale, history, and location makes it more meaningful than it first appears, especially when you realize how closely it is tied to the Colosseum experience.
