A walk through history and art

Walking through Rome, you’ll feel like part of history. Every corner of the city is a reminder of the past.

We begin our journey through classical and baroque Rome, where you can learn about the Roman Empire, the gladiators, and fall even more in love with Italian culture.

• Some must-see spots include the Colosseum and Roman Forum, which have architectural ruins, and the Palatine Hill, from which you can get a panoramic view of the city.
• Piazza Venezia with the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of unified Italy, and Piazza Navona, with its lively atmosphere and street artists, is one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. There, you’ll find Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi.
• And of course, the Pantheon, a masterpiece of Roman architecture with the largest dome in the world.

Rome is known for its many fountains. They say there are over 2,000 fountains scattered throughout the city. To make your tourist work easier, we’ve selected the ones you can’t miss: the Trevi Fountain, Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fontana della Barcaccia, and the Triton Fountain.

Rome’s charm is undeniable, and it can be appreciated in each of its neighborhoods, each with its own personality and treasures to discover.

• The Centro Storico is the heart of classical Rome, where you’ll find some of the world’s most famous monuments. It’s one of the most vibrant places to experience Roman life, especially at sunset.
• Across the Tiber River lies the Trastevere neighborhood, known for its bohemian vibe and traditional trattorias. Here you can try authentic Roman food, like cacio e pepe or amatriciana, and enjoy the nightlife.
• In recent years, the Monti neighborhood has become trendy. It blends the best of ancient Rome with a contemporary style. Its streets are filled with designer shops, hipster cafés, and art galleries.

And of course, you can’t leave Rome without visiting the smallest country in the world: The Vatican. A visit to the Vatican Museums and the famous Sistine Chapel is a must, two treasures of art reflecting the history of the Catholic Church. You’ll also find St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s iconic Pietà sculpture.

There’s so much to see in Rome that we could make this article twice as long. But since you’re probably hungry by now, let’s take a break to savor the delicious Italian cuisine.

A feast of flavors, tradition, and passion

Italian cuisine, though simple, is delicious. Not for light eaters, though, as the dishes are always hearty and caloric. But once you’re there, it’s best to just enjoy it.

• Supplì alla romana: Fried rice balls stuffed with mozzarella. One of the most typical antipasti (appetizers).
• Spaghetti alla carbonara: Made with eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale (cured pork cheek), and pepper. No cream, as Roman rules dictate.
• Bucatini all’Amatriciana: Bucatini pasta served with tomato sauce, guanciale, and pecorino romano.
• Tonnarelli cacio e pepe: Fresh egg pasta, simple and delicious, made with pecorino romano and black pepper, one of the most traditional and beloved Roman dishes.
• Trippa alla romana: A traditional and humble dish, tripe cooked in tomato sauce with mint and pecorino.
• Carciofi alla romana and carciofi alla giudia: After all that pasta and offal, a vegetable delight: artichokes. You can have them alla romana, cooked with plenty of water and oil, or alla giudia, fried and cut like an open rose.
• Pizza al taglio: One of the best ways to enjoy Rome is by eating pizza by the slice, with different flavors but always delicious.
• Maritozzo con la panna: A sweet bun filled with whipped cream, usually eaten for breakfast.

These are just a few examples, as Roman cuisine is much more. We’ll let you discover the rest of the menu on your own, but don’t forget to tell us about it!

Mediterranean climate with character

Rome’s pleasant Mediterranean climate invites you to enjoy the city year-round. However, each season has its character, so it’s important to know what to pack.

Spring is ideal for visiting ruins and outdoor squares. Temperatures are mild, and though rain isn’t frequent, it can surprise you. Bring an umbrella, a light scarf for cool mornings, a light jacket, and comfortable shoes for endless walking.

Summer is quite hot and sunny. If you visit during this time, we recommend bringing everything you need to protect yourself from the sun and a reusable water bottle to refill at the city’s many drinking fountains (nasoni).

In autumn and winter, a coat, warm boots, and a foldable umbrella will be essential. Generally, the temperatures aren’t too low, but it’s always better to be well-prepared for a day spent outside.

From the famous Trevi Fountain, where coins are thrown with the hope of returning, to lesser-known but equally charming corners, Rome continues to fascinate all who visit. Maybe you’ll be the one to enjoy this city? Don’t miss our social media to find out, and remember, if it’s not this time, there are still many trips left to win.
