Landmarks:
Piazza Navona
@thecreationofus
One of Rome's most beautiful squares. It was built on the site of an ancient stadium. Enjoy the Baroque architecture and the famous Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini. The fountain represents the four great rivers of the world: the Nile, Ganges, Danube, and Rio de la Plata. This square is also perfect for a morning coffee at one of the charming cafés.

Pantheon
@thecreationofus
The Pantheon was originally built as a temple dedicated to all the gods of ancient Rome. Its name comes from the Greek words "pan" (all) and "theos" (god). The Pantheon is famous for its huge dome, which is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. At the top is an oculus, a 9-meter wide circular opening that lets natural light in and symbolizes a link to the heavens. Rainwater that comes through the oculus is drained away by a clever system built into the floor.

Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola
@thecreationofus
It's fascinating to see the ceiling reflected in the mirrors, so it's definitely worth the wait to experience it firsthand.
It's known for its stunning frescoes and illusionistic ceiling by Andrea Pozzo. Spend some time admiring the beautiful artwork and the optical illusion: The "False Dome". Due to a lack of funds, the planned dome for the church was never built. Instead, Pozzo painted a trompe-l'œil (trick of the eye) dome on a flat canvas, which is still an astonishing sight for visitors (the black part in the picture). Standing on a specific marble disk marked on the floor, you can see the illusion of a three-dimensional dome.

Trevi Fountain
@thecreationofus
The fountain was completed in 1762 and it was designed by the architect Nicola Salvi and later finished by Giuseppe Pannini after Salvi's death. The design is grand and dramatic, featuring a central figure of Oceanus (the god of water) standing in a chariot shaped like a shell, pulled by two horses and guided by tritons (mythical sea gods). The horses represent the contrasting moods of the sea: one calm and the other agitated.

My name is Tea 🫖, a Macedonian expat who has been calling Ljubljana, Slovenia, home for the past nine years. With a passion for traveling and a heart full of wanderlust, I am always on the move, ready to explore new places and try delightful cuisines —truly a self-proclaimed hedonist at heart. 🗺️
My mantra? La vita è bella" or "Life is beautiful." The joy hides in life's tiny treasures, in those simple, magical moments we often overlook. Whether it's trying a new dish, exploring a hidden gem, or simply sharing a laugh with friends, I believe that happiness lies in the everyday moments. 🧸🎀
I really enjoy organizing trips. My friends often joke about how much I plan every little detail, but when you're visiting a place, you want to make the most of your time, right? My travel expertise spans from curating detailed itineraries to recommending must-visit spots. So, if you don't like planning but love traveling, I can help you out. Just ask me for advice on museums, good places to eat, wine bars, or even secret bars!
I know Ljubljana and its surroundings intimately, but my recommendations extend beyond Slovenia. I can offer my expertise from experiences in Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Italy), Asia (Thailand: Bangkok and Phuket; Bali, Kuala Lumpur), and Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, Zanzibar).
