Rome - Day #5 - The Castel Sant'Angelo, Awesome view of St. Peters Basilica and a final walk through Rome

Our last day in Rome, we didn't have the most concrete of plans.  We decided to start out by heading to Castel Sant'Angelo.  Unfortunately, it was closed!  I was pretty bummed because it looked like a pretty cool place to visit.  We ended up just walking around and taking a bunch of pictures.  There was even a little playground that the kids could play on for a while. 









One of the many bridges over the Tiber River in this area.
 The Ponte Sant'Angelo Bridge crosses the river and leads right up to the Castel Sant'Angelo.  It's a pretty neat bridge, with all these statues on it.




 Famous view of St. Peters Basilica.



 Noah was pretty much done with walking by our 5th day.  It was the first time any of the kids complained about walking during the entire trip.  They were such troopers.  The look on Noah's face pretty much sums up the entire day for him.  He was done.  Funny thing though, we ended up walking the farthest on this day, even though we didn't have any concrete plans of what we were doing this day.

 Piazza Navona

 Awesome Fountains!









 Piazza del Popolo


 This Egyptian Obelisk dates back to the time of Seti I from Egypt, around 1200 BC!








It was such a wonderful trip.  We loved visiting Rome with our children and getting to visit all these amazing places was wonderful.

  1. This trip looks like it was amazing. We spent three days in Rome, but one wasn't a real day because it was a jet lag day so really only. two. We packed in as much as we could but we missed so many cool places. It looks like you covered it well. What an amazing place huh? I could do Italy again in a second. I loved that place.
