Good to know....
Churches you cannot miss in Rome !
[revised January 2024] Can you guess how many churches are there in Rome? Nobody really knows, but rumours say more than 900 (and nobody has seen them all, despite what they say!) The problem is that you don’t have enough time to visit them all and they all contain incredible treasures, from a fascinating crypt […]
A sweet life… #notonlygelato
[revised February 2024] Well, we know gelato is a great attraction, but we have many alternatives in the “dessert field” and here are some good addresses for every sweet tooth coming to Rome: Forno Boccione: the bakery of the Jewish Ghetto, the best place for “ricotta e visciole” pie, a tart with sheep cheese and […]
Rome on your own
[revised December 2023] We believe the guidance of a local expert makes a big difference in your Roman Holiday, of course! But we also believe you need your *own* time to explore the city, to wander and wonder, to feel lost and find your way…. Moreover, there are some sites where you will have an […]
Street Food in Rome
[revised February 2024] It’s the trend of the moment, appreciated in the most important cities of the world and becoming the new gastronomic hit in Rome too. During your sightseeing walks or just for a quick lunch break, this new habit is giving you the chance to try a kind of food you might not […]
Apartments
[revised December 2023] Apartments are a great solution for families with kids, parties of several people and – in general – when you spend more than a couple of days in town and you really want to experience the local life. This way you can even save a bit (especially if you waive a very […]
Bed and Breakfast
[revised December 2023] Under the concept of “Bed and Breakfast” you can expect many different experiences, from the original idea of sharing your time and space with a local family (this does not happen often in Rome) to a sort of small hotel where you will be checked in, provided for keys and be free […]
Hotels
[revised in December 2023] Hotels in Rome range from humble pensione (a simple boarding house) to top-end properties in historical buildings and rates vary a lot. Rates usually lower significantly during the winter months (from November to March, excluding Christmas period). Always check for special promotions and look for the facilities you really need (for […]
Why we do NOT offer segway tours?
We decided to offer you authentic local experiences only and you will never see a Roman on a segway in Rome! We offer bike and Vespa tours as we regularly go on bikes and scooters ourselves. Moreover in Rome there are steps, holes, cobbled stones and crazy traffic jams, therefore a segway can be hard to […]
A city is not a theme park
[revised December 2023] On Tripadvisor for each city you have a list of “attractions”. We are now used to these “lists of things to do”, but I recently realised (while travelling to a foreign city) that when it comes to a *city* this approach has no meaning. Is the Pantheon more “important” or “interesting” than (for example) the […]
Best views over Rome
[revised February 2024] Rome’s skyline is unique and magic, you cannot miss a general overview of the city from the top of a famous monument or terrace. And you have plenty of options here! We recommend to take a stroll in one of these “belvedere” in a sunny day and possibly at the end of your […]
