A couple of years ago, after visiting Prague as part of a bus tour, I promised myself that I would definitely return to this beautiful romantic city with my beloved.

The ultimate goal of our trip was to be the eternal city of Rome, but fearing that we might have problems obtaining Italian visas, we decided to get a Czech Schengen and spend a week in Prague, and from there fly for a week to Rome.

Flights and hotels for the trip in May, we booked and paid in January - February, not having visas on hand, which was quite risky.

And so the visas were obtained, the Internet in search of useful information shoveled across and across, and on May 7 our plane, departing from Odessa, clearly on schedule lands at the Czech airport Ruzyne. It is good that, flying away from the Odessa airport, we understood to pack luggage with a film since

receiving their suitcases in Prague, they regretfully saw the cut film on one of the suitcases.


Passport control in the Czech Republic passed very quickly, my uncle, a border guard, checked his passports, smiled beautifully and wished him a happy journey. Right at the airport they exchanged a few dollars to have enough for a minibus to the city center. The exchange rate at the airport cannot be compared to the exchange rate on Opletalova and Political Prisoners streets. It is very convenient that from the airport directly to the train station with an interval of half an hour runs a minibus AE with a ticket price of 50 CZK.

We lived in front of the train station at the corner of Opletalova and Jerusalem streets in the Chopin 3 * hotel.

The hotel liked: spacious freshly renovated attic room, daily cleaning and change of towels, hair dryer and Wi-Fi in the room, but monotonous and boring breakfasts: 3 types of sliced ​ ​ cheese, 2 types of ham, hot or omelet or sausages, all kinds of yogurt , a couple of types of bread and rolls, several types of jam in bags of 20g (especially those who like to eat at home with a spoon from a liter jar), sliced ​ ​ tomatoes and cucumbers, all sorts of muesli, cereals, milk, packaged tea or incomprehensible substance, misunderstood coffee, apples. I wrote, read, as if not so little, but for 1 week every day the same thing. But, in the end, we did not eat at the hotel arrived. On the first day there were almost no Russian-speakers in the hotel, but then Russian-speaking ladies and gentlemen began to settle.

Only Russians can come to Prague and sit in the evening in the hotel lobby bar, drink hotel beer at space prices (70 kroons, while the tastiest and most expensive beer we tasted cost 56 kroons per 0.4 liter mug), shout loudly for the whole hall, they say, where to buy sunflower seeds nearby and it would be good to turn into cards. We saw this picture one evening, returning to the hotel around 11 pm and waiting at the reception for his turn.

In general, there are a lot of Russian-speakers in Prague, it seems that they came to Moscow, and the souvenir market is sold mainly by people from Western Ukraine. Almost all Czechs speak Russian, there is no language barrier. An uncle smiled as he bought tickets at the box office of the zoo, while clearly pausing each letter with a foreign, as it seemed to him, accent: "Four adults and two children! »


After checking into the hotel at about 6 pm local time, the stomach began to loudly demand food and beer! Oh, I didn't write poems about Czech beer at travel forums! In preparation for the trip, we shoveled a lot of information about which beer is right and in what specific place to drink it right. institution called "Bradivsky Dvir" -

Bredovský dvů r, Politický ch vě zň ô . 13.11. 00 Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic (13 Political Prisoners Street), where, according to reviews, the right Pilsner Urkvel light beer is poured from a real tank. Beer met all our expectations - very tasty, fragrant, not at all like our local Ukrainian, and food, food!

- A kilogram of roasted knee with all sorts of sauces, mustard, horseradish, stewed cabbage, a bowl of salad, fried cheese and three beers cost 585 crowns. Portions are huge - you can safely take one for two.

According to the forums, if a glass of beer costs +/- 30 crowns in an establishment, the establishment can be considered not overheated in terms of prices, if higher, the establishment is purely tourist, and you will not meet locals there. During my further stay in Prague, all establishments compared it, and looking ahead, I will say that once again we had pork ribs with honey - just bomb ribs, beer, salad, dessert and coffee, the whole lunch hung about 620 crowns. In Odessa, you can't eat so well for such money. By the way, there were no problems with payment by bank card, not cash, in any institution, the main thing with the card is not to forget to give the waiter a couple of tips.

After drinking beer and biting their knees, they somehow did not notice that the city began to shroud in twilight, but still decided to go shake up what he ate and take a walk on Saturday night in Prague. Nice, clean, sea of ​ ​ people, but for some reason after 9 pm no public toilet is working?

Due to the lack of working toilets in the area, the walk was short, and by 22:30 we returned to the hotel, full of rainbow plans for tomorrow.

I don't see any sense in describing Prague's monuments, because so much has been written about them on the Internet that my couple of lines will not add anything to their beauty. I will give some practical information:


- Those wishing to visit the synagogue and the old Jewish cemetery should prepare 350 crowns for the entrance ticket, tickets are not sold separately;

- Quite by accident we got on a tour (free) to one of the chambers of the Czech Parliament - Sunday was an open day.

General impressions: "clean, but modest", without much pathos, chic and shine. The beloved was even photographed on the rostrum with which Czech politicians read speeches.

- The cost of visiting the sights of Prague Castle, depending on the set of palaces and cathedrals included in the visit, ranges from 260 crowns. Tickets to the roof of St. Witt's Cathedral are sold separately and cost 160 kroner. By the way, it was the ascent to the roof of St. Vitus Cathedral that made an unforgettable impression on us! What a beautiful Prague on top, what unrealistic holiday tile roofs, green islands and the majestic Vltava.

Climbing without an elevator on a narrow spiral staircase of about 400 steps at first is lively with jokes and laughter, but by the end, the language for some reason begins to fall on his shoulder. less than 15 meters from the entrance - only for money and only for tickets. Moreover, tickets to the cathedral are not sold separately, but only complete with some churches and palaces. We decided not to go (I was before, but my beloved did not show much interest in the cathedral). But it was impossible to pull it off the roof of the cathedral

- very informatively visited the museum of torture. For only 140 crowns from the nose, I took care of a chic chair for my favorite boss

- The cost of visiting the public toilet is 10 kroons, and each metro station has a toilet for 5 kroons.


- the zoo is a separate story (150 kroons a ticket for one adult on weekdays, 200 kroons on weekends, it is obligatory to buy a zoo card together with the ticket). Even after visiting it once, I experienced the same admiration as the first time! This time the crocodile has the palm of supremacy: if you could see the claws on its paws! A real mother-of-pearl pedicure is a dream of any glamorous young lady. It is a pity that none of the hippos wanted to emerge from their trough to surrender in all its senseless beauty and unique grace. And what a meaningful sad look the gorilla had - universal sadness. The penguins in the aquarium are just handsome.

- boating Vltava during the day pulled 220 crowns from the nose for an hour's walk, legs rested, the views are beautiful, but something more was expected, because

the boat sails very, very slowly and sails only between Charles Bridge and the two nearest bridges on the right (if you look at Prague Castle from the opposite bank of the river);

- The 70-meter balloon ride over Prague on the island of Kampa near the Kafka Museum promised a sea of ​ ​ unforgettable experiences, but the frog said sooner: to pay 35 euros for 15 minutes of flight per person did not raise his hand. So this time we did not get such impressions.

- The famous Singing Fountains drew 200 crowns per person for a 35-minute performance. For the first time they were more impressed. This time the show was based on melodies from movies like "Dirty Dancing", a bit boring. Now I can say for sure - I liked the fountains much more in Barcelona.

- Climb to Petrzhyn Tower (100 crowns per person).

Civilized stairs - one stream of people up, another down, and they do not intersect.

Only from this tower you can see the Cathedral of St. Vitus - a spectacular sight! The ascent is much easier to bear than on the roof of the Cathedral.

- Visegrad complex. Very nice place on the hill, the majestic Cathedral (entrance 30 crowns) and the old cemetery, which is just fun to wander. Take the subway to the station. Visegrad and from there in just 5 minutes walk the entrance to the complex. The main thing is not to get lost like some tourists, going the other way, and then, winding circles, return.

- Concert of organ music in the church near Charles Bridge ($ 25 per person). It was amazing, I couldn't hold back the tears from the emotions I had when the organ, flute and unearthly soprano wove divine musical laces. It was Music from the Biggest Letter, Music that makes you think, I'm not afraid of the pathos of this word, about the Eternal.


Well, I'm all about the spiritual, it's time to go back to beer and all the Czech delicacies. As I wrote above, before the trip was reviewed and taken into account a huge number of reviews of pubs and just delicious places in Prague. Our top list:

1. Bredovsky court - Bredovsky court, Politický ch vě zň ů . 13.11. 00 Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic (13 Political Prisoners Street). Very tasty food (the only place we went twice) at very reasonable prices. Delicious light beer Pilsner and decent dark Goat. I like more dark beer, so I tried all sorts of dark varieties on any occasion. Nice atmosphere in the hall, but we both sat on the summer playground.

2. Strakhiv Monastery. Strahov Cluster Brewery, Strahovske nadvori 301.118 00 Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic. Stunning beer, which is brewed in the monastery, in our unanimous opinion - the most delicious beer of all that we tasted in Prague. I really liked the red amber, sweet light (density, by the way, 16%).

The food is beyond praise, the goulash in bread is very, very much, the trout baked in herbs melted in your mouth, but the prices for the cuisine in this establishment are a bit too high. Tried beer ice cream (one ball of white and dark beer, 25 crowns per ball) - unusual, but yes, try it once. Finally, we were photographed near the tubs with beer wort.

3. U Hrocha (In the hippopotamus) U Hrocha, Thunovská . 10.29306 Praha, Czech Republic - a bright place. Apparently, from the very opening, the establishment is clogged with bearded Czech men who smoke endlessly. Bright chipnik, a small number of seats and constantly clogged - what else is needed for the institution, so that everyone wanted to get there. We found two towns near the kitchen - all the seats were occupied, because at that moment there was hockey on TV, as if the Czechs were fighting with someone. Beer (light Pilsner) - very, very decent!

But the most delicious is pork steak (90 crowns), God, it can be eaten with a plate, it is so juicy and melts in your mouth. Prices are below average, although the facility is directly opposite the British Embassy.


4. U Zlaté ho Tygra, Husova 17.110 00 Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic - a cult place for many tourists, because at one time many famous people, including Bill Clinton, drank beer here. Vaclav Havel, but, despite this, the locals there are above the roof. We got two seats at the table, either with the Germans or with the Austrians - the guys sat well, a mug of 5-7 for my brother was already drunk. We came at a time when the Czech national team was playing hockey at the World Cup with the Germans: how the Czechs were in pain, how many emotions! We didn't eat anything there, we only drank beer, the usual Pilsner is already familiar to us - 5 points!

5. U Vojevodi U Vejvodu, Jilska, 4, Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic - delicious and delicious and once again very tasty. Baked knee (kilogram portion) was served on a spit, with a bunch of sauces, mustard, horseradish and more.

, beer - dark Goat and light Pilsner - 5 points, salad with vegetables and chicken - bomb, ice cream with hot raspberries for dessert and all - a button on jeans flew Prices slightly overheated, but a great atmosphere in the hall (by the way, cut with someone) and excellent service cost this money (40 Euros including tips)

6. У чорного вола U č erné ho vola, Loretá nské ná me stí . 107 / 1.11800 Praha, Czech Republic - we searched for a long time and stubbornly for this pub in Loreta Square, but when we came in, we were completely satisfied with what we saw, drank beer (dark and light Goat) and eaten sausages with fried cheese. Everything is very tasty, inexpensive and authentic. There is no sign of the institution as such, although why do you need a sign of a cellar, which is more than one hundred years old?

7. Malostranska pivnice, Cihelna, 3, Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic - an institution that we came across quite by accident and where we tasted beer cheese for the first time.

Imagine - bring on a plate a piece of inconspicuous cheese, there is some sauce and in addition a slide of finely chopped fresh onions. You press it all with a fork, mix it into a pulp that smells and looks little, spread it on fresh gray bread and drink it with a wonderful dark Goat! And everything immediately becomes so delicious that you need to call a waiter with a second serving of cheese. One "but" - persistent onion amber is not killed by any chewing gum, toothpaste and other food for at least another day and a half.


8. A separate line should be noted visiting the absinthe bar Absinte Time, Kremencova, 5, Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic. Considering that I drank absinthe for the first time in my life, I had a lot of impressions. I didn't have time to turn into a green fairy, because I drank very little, but the lightness in my head was simply amazing. The wonderful musician played guitar and sang live.

Which institution I do not advise anyone to go to, it is in the restaurant "Ferdinand" Ferdinanda, Opletalova 24.

11.00 Praha 1, Praha, Czech Republic, located in the basement at the corner of Opletalova and Political Prisoners streets. However, if you like boiled sausage, heated in a microwave oven, and sprinkled with spices (it reminded me of the taste of baked knee, brought to this institution), fried cheese with a taste of rubber, you can taste these wonderful dishes there. The interior, to tell the truth, is very unusual - lampshades for lamps - aluminum buckets, phrases are also served in small buckets, on the walls all sorts of inscriptions, but even for such an exotic interior as for the Czech Republic, do not visit this institution. And the prices there are quite high (knee + cheese + 3 glasses of Ferdinand beer = 608 crowns). It was the only place where we did not tip and did not eat everything that was brought.

We were in a few more pubs and cafes, but somehow we did not remember anything.

It was decided to make 2 raids from Prague: to look at the famous Ossuary and Dresden in Kutna Hora.

It's very simple: bought round-trip tickets at the train station. A ticket to Dresden is valid for a month, the cost of two round trip tickets is 92 Euros, a ticket to Kutná Hora is valid for 2 days, the cost of two round trip tickets is 286 CZK.

Corner Mountain. We left by train for Brno at 8.05 am and were in Kutna Hora in an hour. Well, what can I say: a deaf-deaf province, a quiet sleepy town (like some Kotovsk), with cars that rarely pass, and tourist buses. Getting off the train, we boarded a bus that took us almost to the Ossuary (entrance 60 crowns from the nose).

After wandering for 3 hours in the halls and enjoying the beautiful, noticeably hungry and decided as real burgers to eat fairgrounds (Altmarkt) sausages with stewed cabbage, drinking it all with beer.


The atmosphere in the square is great - bright trade tents, set up (mostly tourists), and the above all this magical aroma of fried sausages and beer, contributed to the careful assimilation of food. By the way, a deposit of two euros is required for a glass, while in some establishments they give a chip that resembles the same black mark. After thinking about the scorching sun, drinking beer and eating sausages, at the suggestion of our neighbors at the table in St. Petersburg, we decided to go to the Volkswagen factory and look at the process of assembling these wonderful cars. According to our neighbors, it was not far to walk from the square - a maximum of half an hour at a leisurely pace. It is said done.

The sun is still scorching and we, laughing merrily, are walking, as it seemed to us, in the direction of the Volkswagen manufactory. Let's go, let's go for 20 minutes along the tram rails (one-time tram 1).

80 euros), people are becoming less and less, the area is becoming more industrial (motor depots, etc. , in short, something like our Peresyp), and we think: the goal is close, as the whole plant can not be near residential buildings. They met some other women with kindergartners, and when they asked them if they were going in the right direction, they received an affirmative "yes" in return. Frau counted something in her mind and added that we had about 5 tram stops left to go. Well, let's move on. The sun is getting hotter and hotter, the surrounding landscape is becoming more and more joyless, beer has already faded from our heads. Turning the map over and over, doubts begin to creep in - and whether we are going in the right direction, because there are no such streets on the map.

There is no one to ask, we stubbornly continue to move on. Hooray, dry cleaning! Come in, turn the map in your hands, try to ask the elderly German woman, and where, in fact, the famous Volkswagen Manufactory?

Frau looked at us sympathetically and poked her manicured finger at the place on the map, or rather outside the map, where we are now! Oh horror! This place is on the opposite side from the coveted manufactory. Doing nothing, we turn 180 degrees and with gloomy heads, nervously giggling, remembering all the relatives of the woman who "suggested" the way, we go back. The sun is burning unbearably. In 30-40 minutes we return to the place where we started our journey and try to refresh ourselves in a very unusual fountain in the shape of a football goal, from where streams of water flow from above instead of a net.


After the water treatments, we had a lot of fun and decided to take a look at the very unusual building of the Tobacco Factory, which resembles a mosque. On the street leading to the factory, they found a restaurant "Odesa".

They grabbed the cameras and started taking pictures of the sign, and after this lesson, our uncle, who works in this restaurant, found us, sternly asking: “Guys, are you from Odessa? "We: " Uncle, you're insulting, we're from Odessa, the current sho from Privoz. ». - Well, if from Odessa - said the uncle - take pictures for free, and the rest are photographed for money.  Here is our man! Odessan - he will be in Dresden! We walked around the city for a couple of hours, ate an authentic German shawarma (3.80 euros), prepared by our Turkish brothers (teshekyur ederim! ), Drank beer (2 euros a bottle) - light, unfiltered and wheat, by the way, the taste Czech) and milkshake.

After hanging out at the station for 20-30 minutes, at exactly 21:00 they plunged into the train, and, stretching out their tired and exhausted legs, headed for Prague.

In general, during the whole trip my legs were insanely tired, I understand that for a rabid dog seven miles is not a hook, but for 12 - 14 hours a day to be on your feet, while actively walking on rough terrain, is quite difficult. Next time you need to bring spare legs

I had dreamed of seeing Rome for a long time, but somehow it didn't work out: later there were overlays, then more spontaneous trips took place. But this year it all worked out. The flight Prague-Rome passed without a hitch, there was no passport control in Rome at all, which was a big surprise for us, who are used to the fact that we constantly check documents. We got our luggage and went ahead: we didn't want to walk from the airport to the hotel, which is located in the city center, but we didn't want to walk from the metro to it with suitcases.


Right at the exit of Terminal 3 (I think from other terminals as well) there are stands with a Door to door taxi service, where for 15 euros you will be taken from the airport to the door of your hotel. We did not bother to look for the train "Leonardo Express", which would take us for 11 euros from the nose to the metro station Termini, and plunged into a minibus that took us straight to the hotel. Leaving the airport, we were amazed by the clutter of roadsides, dirt around - the impression that we did not leave Ukraine. Looking ahead, I want to say that Rome is full of refugees from Africa, all sorts of Pakistanis, Arabs and Afro-Italians who trade all sorts of things, look you in the eye with the devoted gaze of a beaten dog, full of longing, grab your hands and "unobtrusively" offer to buy crap .

The most interesting thing in Rome is the Romans.

This is the source of all sorts of bright personalities: from a couple of men in love with each other, tenderly holding hands, and on the street (! ) In broad daylight stroking each other's buttocks, to the signor of far post-Balzac age, sitting in street cafes in the evening local wine and cigars. No one considers it shameful to sit on the porch of the church and ask for alms: from colorful grandmothers to quite healthy-looking men. For the first time in Rome, I saw quite handsome men in suits (! ), Similar to our middle managers, rummaging in the trash and packing their catch in shopping bags from branded stores such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and more. And what beautiful Italian ladies aged 40+: well-groomed, combed, well-dressed, despite the 30-degree heat in tights; eyes just happy.

In general, the Italians in general are good people with thoroughbred (so to speak) expressive faces.

Young people are somehow simpler and simpler, and their gait is looser. As aesthetes, we were especially killed by a large number of virgins (young and not at all) with bitten nails - a nightmare of our ruffled fifs with decimeter plastic claws.

The impression is that no one works in Rome - the crowd moves randomly from one square to another, sitting on the steps of churches and fountains, eating ice cream and drinking wine in numerous cafes. The city itself seemed to me meaningless, hectic and messy, cars drive chaotically, traffic rules are not followed by drivers or pedestrians. Drivers of mopeds and scooters run like crazy, pedestrians run like hares between them and cars.


Almost all cars are small (such a concentration of "Smart" per square kilometer, probably nowhere else), with worn and scratched bumpers and sides, but it seems that these abrasions and scratches do not bother Roman drivers - it is immediately clear that the car is not luxury, and a means of transportation. It is very dirty, much dirtier than ours in Odessa, the descents to the underpasses and the subway are cluttered and smell very bad, and the Tiber embankment has been turned into a public toilet. If in Prague on the Vltava swans and ducks swim, in the Tiber, except for pieces of foam, plastic bottles and bags, and endless garbage, no animals are observed. The toilets in Rome are just a problem: two or three couples can be seen and visited in the Vatican, on the Capitol Hill, near the Colosseum and all, and if you are stuck somewhere else, you should ask in a cafe.

Quite a good bit with a pretty decent but monotonous breakfasts: two types of slicing ham and cheese, all kinds of buns, delicious fresh pastries, a variety of yogurts, a sea of ​ ​ dry food type "pedigripal" for people (cereals, muesli, biscuits), milk, regular twenty-gram packs of jams, delicious juices, seem to be close to natural, because my favorite drank them in large quantities and praised very much, and the most delicious for me - fruits: kiwi, apples, pears, oranges. All this was drunk with normal natural coffee (although it was clearly given 2 servings, a supplement for an additional fee), tea was only from bags.

Look for descriptions of sights in the guides, I will describe my impressions of visiting them.

1. Being in Rome and visiting the Vatican is nonsense. If possible, the Vatican should be allocated 2 days.

From the morning of the second day of our stay in Rome, we saw St. Peter's Square and the cathedral itself. Area - beautiful!

It is especially interesting to stand at certain points near the fountains and see how the 4 rows of columns of the Bernini colonnade become transparent and turn into one line. We overheard an English-speaking guide, she enthusiastically told the elderly, that it was all designed by an architect without the use of computers (sic! ) Area is perfectly symmetrical. In the Cathedral of St. We visited Peter twice: for the first time, technically settling in line, almost on the approach to the metal detector, we climbed the dome (5 euros per person for lifting without an elevator), over 400 steps, but the climb is quite comfortable, with a stop at medium level and magnificent views of Rome.

On the next level, you can admire the amazing dome of the nearby Michelangelo Cathedral and view the inside of the cathedral from above.


The spectacle is impressive - in all its beauty you can see all the mosaics on the walls and floor, and people - the crowds of people in the cathedral seem like an anthill, and the people themselves - no more than a match head. And the roof itself is something! The panorama of Rome from here is simply amazing - the eye sticks to the viewfinder of the camera, and the fingers involuntarily press and press the capture button. Also from here you can see the Vatican Gardens, an excursion to which we were forgotten the next day. Going down from the dome, we saw a square completely filled with people from different countries, barely perched by the fence, we prepared to listen to the Sunday sermon of the Pope.

When the Pope appeared in the second window on the right on the 4th floor of the building to the right of the Cathedral at exactly 12.00, the crowd froze. All those 25-30 minutes of the sermon, the unity and cohesion of strangers was felt, in the ensuing silence, you could hear a fly flying.

In conclusion, the Pope summed up the essence of his language in 6 (! ) Languages: Italian, French, English, German, Spanish and Polish, and at the time of the Pope's transition to the next language could be identified by the cries of Poles. By the way, a small group of people with the Ukrainian flag was noticed. The atmosphere in St. Peter's Square during the Pope's speech made the strongest impression on Rome.

At 9 am the queue at the entrance to the museum was more than a kilometer long, but the lucky ones with armor do not stand in the general queue, but approach the security guard at the entrance to the Museum, and after he scans the barcode on the printout of the armor , get inside. Next, you need to exchange your reservation for an entrance ticket and wait for your guide, who will conduct a 2-hour tour of the Gardens at a clearly defined time.

I was impressed by the lively trade in almost all Vatican museums, which once again emphasizes that, in my opinion, the Vatican is a widely promoted brand. It is a pity that the Pinakothek was closed that day, so we did not have to see Faberge's eggs Gardens + Museums - there is practically no day

2. The Forum, the Colosseum and everything connected with ancient Rome did not impress at all.

Beautiful picturesque ruins that look great in photos. Photographed against their background and laughed that the photos will be called: Old ruins against the background of old ruins. You need to have a very developed imagination to imagine what were the piles of stones in the palaces, gardens and squares.


3. Venice Square. It is crowned with a beautiful palace, which evoked in me associations with a multi-tiered wedding cake, like a cherry on which enters the monument to Victor Emmanuel 2. Here on the square is the Palace of Venice with a balcony from which Mussolini spoke, and another palace where my mother lived Outside.

It is said that she spent her last days sitting on a wooden green balcony, listening to the stories of her caregiver. Behind the palace is the Capitol Hill, which has a bunch of museums (where we have not been), and beautiful views of the ruins of the Forum.

Here you can see a small sculpture of the Wolf - a symbol of Rome.

4. The Spanish Steps - the crowd, once again the crowd, and again the crowd. At the same time, our African friends, who sell all kinds of crap, and in the area of ​ ​ the Spanish Steps, they do it especially aggressively and persistently. Stairs are a rather funny building with slippery chipped stairs, on which people walk, sit, lie down, eat 

5. Piazza del Poppolo. Unfortunately, because the next birthday of the Italian police is celebrated in May and the whole area is occupied by scenery, the stage, it was not possible to consider it in detail.

But the sweetheart was delighted with the Lamborghini police cars on display, as well as the fact that he visited the cockpit of a police helicopter.

6. Five Navona. Very nice.

In the square in front of the Pantheon hang out drunks and vagrants of all stripes, hippies, musicians play and sing, people are richer sitting in cafes, in my opinion, this is the most atmospheric square in Rome, where it was very comfortable to sit in the evening on the stairs by the fountain. the public.

9. Trastevere. This is my district of Rome. How wonderful there! Narrow streets, flowers on the balconies, diverse people, local flavor in the form of linen of all colors, dried on ropes. I grabbed my camera to take a picture of it all, and my sweetheart said: stop, here in Odessa, in any yard in Moldova or Slobidka of such color, even if it's flooded. ride. Near the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere on
