I prefer to see the photos and enjoy...

Ahahaah!!! Looks like a Stephen Chow style kung-fu lesson.

I was there, totally true There was people waiting only for the selfie, nobody was even looking Lisa :(

Soooooo romantic.....

Why isn't this one up the top!? This is the best one yet

that is not quite fair :-) that is during a concert on that beach :-)

I've never seen such a traffic jam in the canal!

Actually the difference between this images is simple. One was taking in expensive hotel where probably someone cleans the beach and other was taking on the public beach where inhabitants don't give a sh*t about it.

this one was my next vacation pick....back to research mode.

Go there at six in the morning and the first picture is reality

This place was way more crowded when I was there. And the petrol fumes were stifling... I was sooo upset.

True!

Just makes me realize that people need to stop breeding...there are wayyyyy too many as it is. Damn, best to just check stuff out online or on TV

Absolutely true. I lived in Rome for 10 years and had to pass this area daily by bike for a while. I would leave myself an extra 10 minutes just to get through that one block. It didn't matter what season it was or time of day. It was always this crowded. I suppose it wold be empty when people usually sleep, but it's still packed even up to midnight or so, and as early as 8am. You can still squeeze through to the front to get a decent pic, though.

not too bad

Soooo true :DD

is it already working? last year was under reconstruction

true! i had to force my way to the front

Unless you get there at 6:30 in the morning. We had Trevi to ourselves.

The trevi fountain was closed for repairs when I visited Rome, so was the fountain at the Spanish steps.... even the f****n pope was away on holiday! 😞😭

I live here and work in a tour agency. Come in February. And come on or before 8am or after 8pm. If you can, avoid Rome in Easter, June to mid September and December. Perfect time is November, January and February.

If you go at 7 am there is literally no one there. It's very peaceful

You have to see the pics when Feyernoord suporters ruined this place

true!

Good thing that I don't want to go there.

so real......

Oh! We saw a big barrier made of acrylic sheet and lot of coins strewn around.

It was under construction when my hubby and I went.

yep.. definitely true!

True during the day, but we went back at 11:15 at night and the lights in the fountain were gorgeous and we sat on the edge and touched the water and threw our coins in. It was beyond magical.

i just go there on 3 AM, still same number of people.

It was underconstruction when I was there.

I would expect Rome to be crowded :/

Lol.. exactly

Was there yesterday, it is open and looks amazing, but the crowd is even worse. So much people they are almost pushing each other into the water :D But hey, all want to see it, nothing to blame :)

Worse. Nowadays they have fences around it so you can't even get that close anymore. It's because it's slowly falling apart and they don't or don't want to spend money on restoring it

Always busy. Unless you go at 6.30am ish

this is true. But its expected.

sooo true :D Spanish steps were even worse!

It's has scaffolding up for a long time, so it's even worse as you can't see anything!

So true...

this is so true rome sells itself as romantic i have been twice in last 3 years - it is a disgusting filthy city full of dog s**t and litter - i was on both occasions so disgusted i wanted to go home to the english countryside where i live.....if humans cant respect rome then what chance is there?

THIS IS SUMMER SOLSTICE. Normally you aren't allowed this close to the stones, so this picture is misleading.

Best to arrive either very, very early n the day, or later in the afternoon or evening. And bring a lot of bottled water, it's hot as blazes and waiting in one can be very overwhelming. Plus I wouldn't advise going up in the pyramid if you have any claustrophbia. It's hot, dark, and has no air flow.

Hillary Steps always crowded , beside there is 4-6 weeks weather window and from it only 2 weeks for summit attack , as well sinc 90's commercial tour operators took over this rock , from first climb in 53 numbers of 'climbers' went ballistic , you have money , you go everest ... Fukcud up a bit

Who is this model?? I swear to god I see her everywhere it's starting to get creepy

No matter what, the first one is photoshopped, she is not sitting with open water in the background but in the harbour of CPH. And yes she is tiny, hence the name, Little Mermaid.

this line moves very fast. it's just for the metal detector and dress code control

its not even the same day wtf lol one is winter and one is summer what a joke how many of these are lies like this

Well, the photo "after" shows Propylaia of Acropolis and not Parthenon. The temple is at the back of the photographer.

I was there and hall wasn't full like that, just few groups of people

That looks like Canada Day celebration. Does not look like

It really isn't that bad actually. Quite a pleasant walk and not that much people, especially in the morning.

Both are really pretty though <3
