Update: My wife’s Schengen visa was denied … reason: Incomplete Itinerary. We provided the apartment reservation and dates and the air line tickets with dates to match. We were staying 30 minutes outside of Rome close to a beach location. What are they looking for with incomplete itinerary? When we eat sleep and 💩? 100 days wasted. Guess Italy doesn’t need our money! I’m beyond mad 🤬

Visiting Italy in about a month. Flying into Rome around 5pm and leaving at 1pm the following day to head to Tuscany. Our hotel that night is pretty close to the Colosseum so we were thinking about heading there first thing in the morning before our train, but am now second-guessing the timing of it all (especially with access to the Forum & Palatine Hill included in the tickets). We will be back in Rome a week later for 2 nights/ 1 full day (staying near Pantheon) before our flight home.
With less than 72 hours total in Rome, what would you prioritize from a sights perspective?
Dear Redditors,
My girlfriend and I are visiting Rome soon and are planning to visit Villa Borghese. What’s your honest opinion of the park?
And is renting a small rowing boat on the lake actually worth it, or is it a bit overrated?
Thanks!
Traveling to Rome last minute September 9-13. Looking to buy tickets to the colosseum but I’m largely overwhelmed by the amount of options. Any suggestions? Would’ve LOVED to do the underground tour, but they’re sold out on the official website and I’ve heard to stay away from 3rd party sites. Is that accurate? TYIA.
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!
If I am arriving at FCO at 9am, would it be reasonable to think I can make an 11:50am ticketed admission to the Colosseum? Was able to get tickets for the Attic, but that was the only time available. I am staying right across from the Colosseum, so we can drop off our bags and head straight there, just wondering if we will have enough time to travel from FCO to termini, to the colosseum. We are flying in from Paris, so I believe we don't have to go through customs? not 100% sure on that. Thanks
wife and I make our first italy trip may 7-25, 2027. we plan on rome, puglia, naples. my grandfather immigrated from Bari. we arrive rome midday may 8. I’m looking at two itineraries. rome may 8-17 near Pantheon. monopoli may 17-21, naples may 21-24 train to Fiumicino overnight before 3:30 pm flight home on 25th. the alternative is 6 nights rome to naples 3 nights. same monopoli dates. finish with 4 nights in Trastavere. should I split rome or really settle in for 9 nights?
Hello! I will be visiting Italy this year, and my friend’s birthday is approaching. Since she collects figures and anime merchandise, I’d like to buy her something for her collection. Are there any stores in Rome that sell these types of items?
Trying to plan a day trip from Rome to Florence in mid October, but I see 3 stations in Florence. Any advice is appreciated. Looking to return to rome in the evening. Week of 10/12-10/15. We land on 10/12 so thinking later in the week.
Our 25th wedding anniversary will be in Rome this year on September 1, as it was the start of our honeymoon.
Our wedding rings were stolen sometime ago but as an anniversary gift we thought it might be romantic to buy new ones on our anniversary in Rome. We’re not into anything too fancy, just 24K gold bands - possibly with an engraving inside since we’ll be there for a few days?
I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations of reputable jewelers or if there is, as in many big cities, a jewelry district we should try?
I will be in Rome end of September for 2 days and I am looking for hidden gems.
I have been numerous times to Rome in the last couple of years and have been to all of the major sights multiple times, including the Jewish area and the ruins around it, Borghese, Vatican, Vatican museum. I have walked all the neighborhoods. Spent time in Trastevere, Campo di Fiore. Etc.
I am Italian Canadian so a cooking class does not interest me (I will be seeing lots of aunties and cooking with them).
I am going to Appia Way when I arrive in italy.
What hidden gems can you recommend?
I've read through couple of reddit posts and nearly every single persons recommends visiting them. The thing is, I'll be in Rome for less than 24 hours, will get there at about 12pm. I already booked a tour for Galeria Borghese at 1pm, so planning to see that as well other famous landmarks in the city. The only time slots for Vatican museums left are at 5 and 5:30pm, so I'm not sure whether go for it or not as people recommend visiting early in the morning. I do not like crowds and visiting crowded museums brings me more anxiety and than joy - it kinda makes me mentally drained and hope I can get out of there asap lol. What do you think?
Hi, I’ll be visiting Italy in September and Rome will be my last stop but I’m a bit confused about what the best choice of plan would be
I am going to arrive in the evening of 16th Sept. I would have about 4 days and am planning to fly back on 21st morning. I have read that Vatican is a must visit. I have also read the same about Asissi and Orvieto.
For the 4 days that I have what would you suggest. All suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!
This will be my first trip. My girlfriend has been several times. We haven’t over scheduled our trip, and I love a go with the flow, wander around approach to seeing a city. One of our favorite things to find is a local bar that is authentic to the area, not Instagram worthy and caters to professional drinkers. I’d call it a dive bar, but is there something that is a Roman equivalent? Apertivo culture is appealing. Something a bit rougher around the edges…? Thank you for any suggestions.
My wife and I will be visiting Rome for the first time. We're planning to watch a movie at around 10PM near Via Antonelli in Parioli. The movie should finish around 12:15 - 12:30 AM.
We're staying in the historic centre, and I'm trying to figure out what the situation is like getting back after the movie. We're not planning on partying or drinking...just watching a movie and heading back to our hotel.
Would especially appreciate local perspectives or experiences from people who've been in Parioli late at night. Thank you for your attention!
Hi all! We will be traveling to Italy for two weeks from on August 31 - September 13. This will be our second trip to Italy. We are attending the Formula 1 race at Monza. We are visiting Venice, Milan (with a stop in Verona for a half day), Bologna (including trips to Modena/Maranello, Parma, and Ravenna), and Rome.
We were in Rome a few years ago and saw all the “big” tourist attractions including the Vatican, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Jewish Ghetto, and Spanish Steps.
For this trip, we only have two days in Rome. We are staying near Piazza Navona, so we will be pretty centrally located in the city. We have already booked a sunset golf cart tour for the first night, the 11th, and the Pantheon for the second morning, the 12th. We leave early on Sunday the 13th so that day really doesn’t count as a day to do anything.
Can anyone recommend anything else for us to do while we’re in Rome? Preferably something we can do on the afternoon of the 12th.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
My wife is celebrating her 40th and we’re looking for a good restaurant that’s not overly touristy so away from the main square, we also have a child with us so needs to be a bit kid friendly, plus side if there is any beef tartare ( carne cruda all’abese) on the menu. Ideally within a 20 min walk of Piazza Navona (where we’re staying )
I did find Cipasso looks well reviewed ?
Hello! I have been to Rome a lot and I'm very excited to be going back soon!
I am traveling with someone that has an egg allergy. It's not too severe of an allergy, and cross contamination is usually not an issue.
However, I'm concerned about finding any pasta or gelato without eggs in it.
Does anyone have any insight? Restaurant recommendations? I am making a card for them to carry just to be safe, of course.
Grazie mille! 😊
