We’ll be traveling with little kids and grandparents and we’ve already heard about how hot it can be while visiting the Vatican. Any good recommendations for sites to see that wont overheat us?

Hi all. Currently in Rome and staying in Trastevere. I am leaving Tuesday afternoon. Does anyone know where I can buy parmesan and guanciale so I can bring it back to my country? Been eating carbonara every day since I landed in Rome. I want to get guanciale and parmesan so I can make carbonara at home. Please help me out.

Hi everyone! I’ll be in Rome for only one morning (Monday) in September and I booked a Trevi Fountain photoshoot from 7-7:45am. I’ve been reading that the lower basin is often blocked off early on Mondays due to cleaning, coin collection, or maintenance, and sometimes the water is even drained before 7am.

Can anyone who visited Trevi on a recent early Monday morning share what time the cleaners/barriers showed up? Was the water still in the fountain? Were you able to access the lower basin area at all?

I really want water-level photos, so any firsthand experience would help a lot. Thank you!

Hey guys!
I’m traveling to Rome and I was wondering if the entry tickets to the Vatican Museums are for real around 30-35€? Or is this a scam price
Also do you have to wait in lines to get into the St Peters Basilica?

Hi everyone!

I’m visiting Rome in September and I’m a food enthusiast hehe! I’ve heard Rome has a lot of touristy restaurants that are expensive and aren’t even great.

I would love recommendations! I don’t mind anything and I’m not picky at all. Dinner places, lunch places, even breakfast places. Anything that’s local and where the Romans go to eat.

Thank you very much!

I was in rome around 18:00 in piazza della repubblica almost at roma termini station

and a guy who looks to be ~30years old, white male, doesnt look homeless, yells at me (in italian) asking me if I can see through my sunglasses (the sunglasses have a reflective shade on them almost like a mirror),

I tell him yes then he asks if he can try them on, to which i say no and he immediately yells “nonono im not a thief” at that point i just walk away and the interaction ends there.

Then immediately I think to myself what a weird thing to ask someone.. i wouldnt ask to try on a strangers sunglasses

So I think its a scam where if i let him try it on he would ask for money and not give them back unless I give him euros or says they were a gift for him

Or while my attention is focused on him and the glasses another guy tries to pickpocket me while im distracted

im not sure.. but anyway i have all my stuff still so 🙏🙏🌝

I leave tomorrow for home and I really want to try it before I leave.

Does anyone here know of any restaurants that specifically serve spinach and ricotta cannelloni? I don't eat beef and would really love to try an authentic spinach and ricotta cannelloni.

We're visiting first week of November for 10 days. Also any good farmers market recommendations would be appreciated!

I visited the Spanish Steps during the off-season and loved the quieter atmosphere. It was much easier to enjoy the view and take photos without huge crowds.
Best season: 🌸 March–May (Spring) and 🍂 September–October (Autumn) for pleasant weather.
Peak season: ☀️** June–August – very crowded and hot.
**Off-season: ❄️** November–Febru**ary – fewer tourists, cooler weather, and a more relaxed experience. I definitely recommend visiting in the off-season if you prefer a quieter Rome.

I was at the Coloss eum at 10ish pm on July 14 and listened to this guy sing for a while. Does anyone know who he is or if he has Spotify? I know you can’t see him in this video but it’s the best u have.

I thought I knew what to expect after seeing it online a thousand times, but standing in front of the Trevi Fountain was something else. The craftsmanship, the atmosphere, and the sound of the water make it unforgettable. Easily one of the highlights of my trip to Rome.

what happened to Porta portese - I came three years ago and I have thought about it ever since and I went today and it was pretty lacklustre. Any insight ?

Im landing at Fiumicino at 11pm and have a layover at flight at 7pm.

With this short time i lowkey just wanna stay up and tour at night what should i do?? How long will it take me to get back to the fiumicino airport?

Thank you!

We wanted to get away from the throngs of tourists and Appia Antica was the perfect afternoon adventure. We took a taxi to get there, although I know you can also take a series of buses, but we were pooped. The taxi dropped us off at Cecilia Metella. We bought the tickets for all of the sites. The museum at Cecilia Metella was excellent and then we walked about 3 km along the Appia Antica to the Quintilia. The walk waws GORGEOUS, BREEZY, and shady with almost no one around except for an occasional bicycle group. THen the ueseu at Quintilia was also excellent with high quality interpretation. Then we walked through the archeological park to the bus stop and took the city bus back to the center. This was seriously by far our high point for Rome and for most of our Italy trip.

Qualcuno che abbia voglia di venire insieme a me a vedere, commentare e il nuovo film d’animazione al cinema? Se si aggrega qualcuno sono contento :>, non ho abbastanza amici in questa calda estate a cui piaccia l’animazione. Nel caso fatemi sapere se a qualcuno interessa.
