It’s no mystery why this is the most iconic place in all of Rome and has been immortalized in countless films. I explored The Colosseum feeling like a model destined to be on the cover of a magazine. There is a wall across the street, just above the metro stop that you have to try. Also there is a great view of this ancient beauty from inside The Forum.
Yes, sunrise is best, but the light near sunset will be gorgeous as well.
Explore angles and perspectives of the ruins at The Forum to get your perfect shot. There is an outlook overlooking The Colosseum you won’t want to miss. The cobblestone, the pink hues and being surrounded by history will have you swooning.
Most any time of day, but of course, early is a great time to find the opportunities for fewer people in your photos.
Don’t forget to capture yourself in the act of enjoying all that Rome has to offer. The fountains and architecture around the square are to die for.
Colorful buildings are a beautiful backdrop as well.
Sunrise again!
How can you not feel like you’ve stepped into history itself in this place? I backed up a bit and got my shot with the fountain. You can also move in close for some fantastic details. Whichever perspective you choose, you can’t go wrong. The problem is going to be which ones you share on Insta.
Sunrise. Sunrise. Again I say, sunrise.
You can grab some amazing views from Pont Sant’Angelo, including a breathtaking one of St. Peter’s. It’s got to be one of the best views in all of Rome.
If you’ve got the skills to take night shots, try evening. Or … have I mentioned… sunrise?
Make time to explore this picturesque neighborhood and explore the streets and find those little tucked away spots for photos. I loved the cobblestone streets, the doorways, steps and window boxes. There are endless possibilities if you can get there early enough to beat the crowds. Tip: you might find fewer people if you head over to Via della Lungaretta and Vicolo della Torre.
Go at dawn to beat the crowds, sunset is gorgeous too.
The beauty of this amazing fountain is incredible. This is me thinking about just how grateful I am for being in this place. Instagrammable doesn’t begin to cover it. Don’t forget – hold a coin in your right hand and throw it over your left shoulder to ensure your return trip to Rome. Yes, please.
This place is always crowded, but with a little patience and luck, and yes – getting up before dawn to arrive as early as possible, you can get a shot without people in your shot.
Simply being at The Vatican is sort of a surreal experience. For photo ops, the architecture and the infamous Vatican staircase inside are not to be missed. Stroll around and see if you can find yourself in front of a view where everyone else ISN’T already taking pictures.
Beating the crowds here can be done with some luck, but it’s rare. Early is your best bet. The crowds are more manageable.
