Rome is one of those destinations that feels like stepping into a living museum. From ancient landmarks to incredible food and vibrant neighborhoods, it’s the perfect mix of culture, history, and unforgettable experiences.

Eat • Rome

Rome is a food experience just as much as it is a cultural one. From fresh pasta to local cafés, I always recommend building in time to slow down and actually enjoy the meals—not just rush through them.

Where I’d Eat

  • Roscioli (Trastevere area)
    A must for authentic Roman food—especially pasta and wine.
  • Hostaria La Boticella
    Cozy, local feel with incredible traditional dishes.
  • Ai Tre Scalini (Monti)
    Great lunch spot near the Colosseum with a local vibe.
  • Gelateria del Gracchi
    Some of the best gelato in the city—worth the stop.

Where you stay in Rome can completely shape your experience.  These are the areas and stays I’d focus on. 

Where I’d Stay

  • Trastevere – lively neighborhood with great food and a local feel
  • Centro Storico – best for walkability and easy access to major sights
  • Monti – trendy, relaxed area near the Colosseum
  • Fifteen Keys Hotel (Monti) – modern boutique stay with a polished, quiet vibe
  • Hotel Santa Maria (Trastevere) – charming courtyard hotel in a vibrant area

Vacay • rome

This is where Rome really comes to life—exploring iconic landmarks, wandering through historic streets, and creating moments that make the trip unforgettable.

What I’d Prioritize

  • Colosseum & Roman Forum (early access)
    Go early or book a guided experience—this makes a huge difference in avoiding crowds and actually understanding what you’re seeing
  • Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
    Timing is everything here—planning ahead completely changes the experience
  • Trevi Fountain at night
    Much less crowded and way more magical than during the day
  • Walk through Trastevere at sunset
    One of the best ways to experience Rome’s atmosphere without an agenda
