Welcome To Rome
Also known as the Eternal City, Rome is a destination bustling with history and culture. If you love history like we do, you’ll easily enjoy walking around a city that is ready to take you back in time. If it is your first time in Rome, you must visit the infamous Colosseum where ancient gladiator battles once took place. Since the Colosseum is one of the top monuments in the world, you’ll want to book a guide to navigate the crowds and take you to the best photo stops. You’ll also want to tour the neighboring Roman Forum that was once filled with senators and citizens who shaped the Roman Empire.

You also should not forget about Vatican City, a tiny independent city-state within Rome. Here, you can browse the museum, marvel at St. Peter’s Basilica, and take in the Sistine Chapel, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece ceiling. We would recommend booking a group/private tour at the Vatican to assist with the long queues at the entrance and to guide you through the artwork and history of the city.
Do As Romans Do
After a day of touring, it’s time to “do what the Romans do” and for us, that means to eat! You can’t leave Rome without tasting traditional Roman cuisine and no, we are not talking about fetticini alfredo. It is time to savor mouthwatering pasta carbonara, creamy cacio e pepe, and delicious gelato that will make your taste buds dance. If you are a true foodie, you should venture into Trastevere, a neighborhood famous for its narrow alleyways, lively piazzas, and many restaurants, cafes, and bars.
Trastevere particularly comes alive in the evenings when the streets are filled with locals and music. However, if you are just a glutton for tours, a foodie tour in Rome is a must. We got to experience a sampler of sorts on our most recent trip where we tasted too much food to list. But our favorite dish was the fried artichokes in the Jewish Quarter before concluding with homemade gelato in Trastevere. Delish!
Why Rome?
Now, you might be wondering, why Rome? Well, here’s the thing – Rome isn’t just a destination; it can also be the first stop on a tour of Europe. You can embark on a luxurious Mediterranean cruise from Civitavecchia, Rome’s nearby port about an hour away from the city. From here, you can set sail to other destinations like Barcelona, Athens, and the French Riviera.
Alternatively, you can discover other beautiful Italian regions like Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, or the romantic city of Venice. Traveling to these different parts is relatively easy to get to via train or by rental car. Either way, it’ll be an exciting Italian adventure!
