7 Days In Italy: A Simple Rome And Florence Itinerary For First-Timers and Seasoned Travelers
Italy is a country rich in history, with so much to see. It is impossible to do everything in 7 days, and choosing what to do can be overwhelming, so I kept this itinerary simple and minimal, like my travel style. Here is my 7-day Rome and Florence itinerary, simple enough for first-time travelers and robust enough for seasoned travelers.

Do Not Visit In The Middle Of The Day - My Chaotic Experience Visiting The Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
One of the things I have wanted to do since I was a child was see the Sistine Chapel. I was that weird kid who was fascinated by art history even though she had no idea what anything meant, so when I had the opportunity to go to Italy and see the Sistine Chapel, it healed my inner child and honestly changed my life. But I did make a mistake; I went in the middle of the day. I would NEVER do this again and advise you to avoid this as well. Here is my chaotic experience visiting the Vatican Museums.
The Best Time To Visit The Colosseum Is At The End Of The Day - Here Is My Experience Visiting A Wonder Of The World
The Colosseum is one of the seven wonders of the World. Built in 80AD, this masterpiece in architecture is over 1,900 years old. And because of its iconic status, millions of people visit it every year, and I had the opportunity to be among them. But I went against the grain, purchased my tickets days before, and went on the weekend at the end of the day. This has many pros and cons, but if I ever found myself in Rome again, I would do this again. Here is my experience visiting The Colosseum.
Looking To Save Some Money? Stay At This Hotel In Italy - My Experience Staying At Courtyard By Marriott Rome Central Park
I took an unexpected trip to Rome and only had six days to find affordable accommodation. I originally wanted to stay in the city center, but all the hotels were out of my budget, even though I was traveling off-season. After hours of research, I remembered hearing about the Courtyard Marriott Rome Central Park in a YouTube video and decided to check it out. It was in a decent location and within my budget, so I booked a seven-night stay. Here is my experience at the Courtyard Marriot Rome Central Park Hotel in Italy.
