I have been in Rome many times but I always pay a visit whenever I go back since it's my favourite monument there (never been a fan of St Peter, too much stuff in there).
The setting is amazing since it's hidden inside the city and the structure itself it's a beautiful and impressive testament to the architectural prowess of the romans. There is truly nothing like it.
- mstade 6y agoDitto. Walking in to the Pantheon, especially off season when there aren't as many tourists, is like traveling back in time. I can't help but think about all the things that may (or may not) have happened in that space, and my imagination immediately runs wild. Whenever I find myself in Rome I have to go there, it's like a calling almost. I have much the same feelings when walking around Forum Romanum, my imagination runs wild there also. There's something about seeing those ruins that make my mind just rebuild them and I imagine their former glory so vividly it's almost like I can see it right in front of me. Rome is a very nice place to visit off season, I very much enjoy it.
- matfior 6y agoBest season (at least for me) is end of Spring, beginning of Summer. Not too hot, plenty of sun. Rome is an extremely complicated place to live in and navigate but its beauty can be sometimes out of this world.
- mstade 6y agoI couldn't agree more! Also in my experience this applies to a lot of other places in Italy as well. Sardinia for example is an absolute marvel end of May, early June, before the summer rush starts kicking into gear.
