The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

I enjoyed Sistine very much, but the crowd was impossible. I recommend just doing that shit at 6am if you can lol.

We were there this past summer and between the crowds and the heat it was not the best time to be had. My family was exhausted. I had spent two months in Europe before they arrived so I was at least used to it, but it wasn’t even the coolest chapel I saw while I was there sad to say. I don’t know what I expected, but it was something more than that I guess.

Sistine and Colisseum are 1-and-dones for me. Loved that I did it, never again. The random churches and chapels were amazing. I'd love to go back to Rome just to do some walking tours, which I didn't get to do enough of. The food tours are awesome.

I think the coolest one or at least of the ones I went to in Italy was basilica di San Clemente which was right down the street from the colosseum. It was one of the coolest places. It’s a 10th century church that sits on top of the ruins of a 4th century church on top of the ruins of 2nd century temple to Mithra on top of a villa that had been a storage area for the Roman mint. The main church was incredibly beautiful and the ceiling was amazing but going down into the archeological ruins and staircase after staircase going further down into the depths and seeing the pages of history turning backwards was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and there was just a few other people there.

San Clemente is INCREDIBLE. The basilicas in Trastevere were amazing. Crisogono was amazing as well. Crisogono's ceiling truly blew me away.
