Hey,

Today I am describing the most interesting places in Rome - the Capital of Italy.
First some information about this beautiful city.
Rome has about 2.7 million inhabitants. The city's area is 1285sq km. The town is located near the lakes and mountains. Rome lies on the Tiber River and the Mediterranean Sea. There are 119 museums in the city. The city has access to 2 airports.

The first thing to see is the panorama of the city.

And now some interesting places:
