Must-See Attractions
No trip to Rome is complete without visiting the Colosseum, the iconic amphitheater where gladiators once fought fierce battles. Nearby, the Roman Forum takes you to the heart of ancient political and social life.
St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City impresses with its grandeur and Baroque architecture. Don’t miss the chance to climb to the dome for breathtaking panoramic views of the city.
Charming Neighborhoods to Explore
Beyond the famous landmarks, wander through charming neighborhoods like Trastevere, with its cobblestone streets, lively piazzas, and authentic trattorias. Monti is perfect for vintage lovers, artisan shops, and trendy cafes.
Must-Try Roman Flavors
Rome’s cuisine is rich and flavorful. Don’t miss the classic carbonara, crispy supplì (fried rice balls), and delicious artisanal gelato. Local markets like Campo de’ Fiori offer a vibrant display of fresh produce and Italian specialties.
Tips for a Great Visit
Best time to visit: Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer mild weather and fewer crowds.
Getting around: Rome is great to explore on foot, but the metro and bus systems are convenient for longer distances.
Avoid tourist traps: Choose small neighborhood restaurants over big chains and book museum tickets online in advance.
