From our own visits to Rome
These are notes taken on the ground, reproduced as they were written:
- Something worth knowing (Colosseum): One day my wife and I along with two of our friends got up around 6.30am on a June day and went for a run. It was a great way to start the day. Jogging along near empty streets and taking in the Colosseum and Vatican City made for a real change from the usual crowds on a Summer's day in the city.
- Eating and drinking: Looking for an interesting way to spend an evening? We chose a Pizza and Pasta Making experience. Learn how to roll your own pasta, make your own dough, and enjoy your own creation straight out of a proper pizza oven. We ventured around 1 hour outside of the city so it's easier if you have a car but the organiser also arranges collection and drop off from the city. A memorable experience. and saves the usual decision making on where to eat!
- Something worth knowing: Rome is a great city for walking. It's truly the best way to really appreciate the history, the architecture and the people. Lace up some comfortable shoes and take to the streets.
- Eating and drinking: Rome has fabulous food and drink but do some basic research and try to avoid the tourist traps close to the main attractions. Wander a few streets further away and check reviews before you step inside.
- Something worth knowing: I've been visiting Rome for as long as I can remember. It never gets boring as there is just so much to see that you'll never cover it all. Whether exploring as a solo traveller or enjoying the city with family it's an experience I would recommend to everyone.
How these guides are put together
Pages here are compiled from operator listings, official tourism and transport sources, and published opening and pricing data for Rome. Availability and prices come from the booking partners named on each listing and change at their end, not ours.
We are straight about which is which. The notes above are first-hand; the rest of the site is desk-researched reference material, kept current. Where a page covers something we have not seen ourselves, it does not pretend otherwise.
Corrections
Opening hours move, kitchens close, routes get re-timetabled. If something on this site is out of date or wrong, use the contact page and it will be corrected. Reader corrections are the fastest way VisitRome.com improves.
How this site makes money
Some links to hotels, tours and tickets earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. That commission pays for running the site. It does not decide what appears here or in what order — no operator can buy a recommendation, and factual detail is never altered to suit a partner.
