Top of the World



On this beautiful and relaxing weekend in Rome, two friends and I decided to take the hike to the top of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. For someone who is SERIOUSLY afraid of heights, this wasn't a decision that I was super excited to make, but I did it and there is no better view of Rome, that's for sure. There were a few moments when we were climbing the tiniest little spiral staircases and the part of the walkway in the dome that tilts, that I seriously questioned why I was up there.


I am so happy that I went up there! It is truly one of the best experiences I've had in Rome, despite being so scared and being so exhausted when we got to the top!
