EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE EXPLORING THE ETERNAL CITY
CHECK IT OUT!
The Rome Destination Guide is now LIVE!
Rome is nicknamed the Eternal City, and for good reason. It's obviously one of the oldest cities in the world, which is reason enough for a visit. But, Rome is unique in that it has renewed itself consistently throughout its extensive life, always finding a starring role in the historical narrative. Rome has been center stage at some of history's biggest moments: the ancient world, the rise of Papal power, the Renaissance, World War II, and more. This makes Rome one of the best tourist cities in the world. There's the sheer magnitude of history to soak in, but that history has great breadth. Whether you like art, architecture, war, politics, or religion there is something here for you.
Such a rich past also lends to a rich culture, most notoriously enjoyed at the table. Ultimately, eating may be my favorite thing to do in the Italian capital. Italian food anywhere is top-notch, but Rome offers some of the crown jewels. You'll find uniquely Roman dishes in classic trattorias as well as gastronomic twists at metropolitan eateries. Come hungry and save room for gelato.
I don't have to sell Rome too much because if you are visiting Italy, chances are Rome will be your gateway. That said, try to give the culture and history here their due attention. If you plan to stay for a day or two before dashing off to other parts of the country, you'll only have time to scratch the surface. I'm a firm believer that Rome can be a standalone trip, but I realize that may not be realistic for most people! If you are tight on time, you have all the more reason to plan carefully. In some ways, planning a trip to Rome is really easy - there are famous monuments and fantastic restaurants everywhere you turn. But, those same things can make it difficult to tackle this city at a reasonable pace. Keep reading to start building your perfect itinerary!
