I had my birthday party at the biggest party on earth!

Tickets are expensive but it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Plus, the opening day of the  Carnevale   exactly falls on my birthday.  

Rio de Janeiro… I must admit that I was a bit nervous coming here. With all the bad news about the city plus the negative  reactions and comments from my family and friends. But the moment I stepped out of the airplane I knew right there and then that I will be having fun.

Believe me two hours inside the Vatican Museum is not enough. You have to allot at least half a day or better yet a one  whole day to see all of masterpieces....If that's so  then why did I spent only two hours? It was part of my “Vatican by Train: Vatican Full Day Tour” ticket.

What’s your favorite city? Mine is Rome. I love its centuries old ruins that are beautifully preserved. I love walking on its cobblestoned streets. I love window shopping in its world renown fashionable Via Condotti.  And  of course, I so love the food.

So you’ve finally booked that ticket to Rome. Took the plane and landed safely in Leonardo da Vinci International Airpot.  Otherwise known as   Fumicino Airport is located at  approximately 35km or 21 miles from Rome’s  city center. How do you get into the city center?  Here   are few ways to reach the historical center.

share the same station and platforms.
