My Insider Tips for Rome

Q: What do you tell your visiting friends to see in Rome?

Explore Trastevere for its charming streets and vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss the Giardino degli Aranci for incredible views, and of course, the classics like the Colosseum, Piazza Navona, and the Pantheon. The Fontanone is a hidden gem for a quieter moment with amazing scenery.

Q: What about the culture in Rome should people not miss?

Take an evening stroll through the city at sunset. The light is magical, and the city feels alive. End your day with an al fresco dinner in Trastevere or Testaccio to dine like a real Roman.

Q: What are some unmissable foods and drinks?

Start with Rome’s iconic pasta dishes—carbonara, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana. Don’t skip trippa alla romana or coda alla vaccinara for something truly authentic. For a lighter bite, try pizza romana.
