For those that have traveled to Rome in the last couple of years, what was your favorite experience?

Could be a tourist site, museum, restaurant...or anything else!

I see so many posts from people wanting to avoid "tourist traps" and wanted to get thoughts on it.

So many people assume "tourist trap" = bad...but if you're a good and successful restaurant in Rome, you want to attract tourists. I wouldn't necessarily expect people that live in Rome to go to these places, but is there anything wrong with tourists visiting them if the food is good?

First time visitor, is a hotel right near Palazzo Colonna a good area?

Any insight appreciated!

How is Trastevere viewed by Romans? Is it an upper class neighborhood where lots of people desire to live? Or more for young people, or tourists? So many Trastevere restaurants are recommended, so I wanted to get a sense of the authentic vibe of the neighborhood. Grazie!

Outside of the most obvious tourist attractions, what's a place you'd recommend for a first time visitor? Grazie!!

What are your favorite spots for pizza al taglio?

Grazie!

What's your favorite bite (place + food) in Rome? Can be any meal, a great breakfast pastry, street food, pizza, pasta, dessert, etc

Let me know!

Buongiorno! For those that have visited, can you explain the different Colosseum/Forum tickets on the official site?

There's a Colosseum/Forum/Palatine ticket, a Super Pass ticket, an Arena floor & Super Sites ticket, a full experience ticket...

They all seem very similar. Can anyone explain the differences/recommend the best ones to see?

Grazie!!

I'll be visiting Rome for the first time next spring. I have 4 full days in Rome (+travel days).

My initial itinerary is 1 day for Colosseum/Forum, 1 day for Vatican, and 2 days to just walk/explore, hit some of the other sites like Pantheon/Trevi.

I've heard Monday/Tuesday are the best/slowest days to visit Vatican.

Any other thoughts/recommendations?

Grazie!

Where is your favorite place to go for aperitivo in Rome? Specifically city center, but could be surrounding neighborhoods

Grazie!

When buying Vatican tickets there's so many options...

Just museum tickets

Museum & Gardens

Hidden Sections

Etc

From your experience, what's worth seeing & skipping?

American travelling to Rome. What are some non obvious things to make sure you bring on the trip? For example, plug adapters.

Grazie mille!

Hey All - I'm flying to Rome from the U.S. in a few months and thinking of using ITA Airways. How would you compare it to United/Delta for those that have used it?

Grazie Mille!

If you're at a restaurant and want to know what they recommend is "Qual e il tuo preferito?" the best way to ask that? Grazie!

If you had one dinner in Rome, where are you going? Nothing too fancy
