We chose this hotel out of our travel agent’s suggestions, and it looks pretty decent, but wanted to see what others thought of it?
We’re only staying for a couple of nights as we’ll be boarding a cruise for the rest of our trip.
I am planning a Rome trip in August. Do you know when do the Pantheon tickets release on the official website? I see that they are available for the entire month of July but not for August.
Thanks in advance.
Where are your favorite places to go?
Tiramisu, gelato, what else?
The website for the digital exhibition in the Basilica says there is strictly no bags and no cloakroom.
Is this strictly enforced? Would a small cross-body bag be allowed?
we're traveling w/ kids and are considering bringing an uppababy cruz with the skateboard attachment for our kids to alternate. is it too big/bulky to bring to Rome? we'll also be flying within the EU via Ryanair so not sure if they allow this type of stroller to be checked in...thank you!
Help me please! I am the designated planner for a trip to Rome for 4 women. I am trying to buy Vatican Museum tickets on the official website. I get all the way through the purchasing, enter credit card info then get
Error During payment process.
An error occurred during the payment process
Operation not completed
I have tried multiple credit cards and called the bank issuers and they say there hasn’t been any requests to decline
Anyone have thoughts on what I could be doing wrong
Does anyone have recommendations for a private transfer to get from the center of Rome to the airport?
A question who has done both, which is more worth it in your eyes? We are wanting to do just 1 guided tour and 1 to explore ourselves. Any thoughts or opinions?
Thank you for reading, visiting Rome in September for a couple of days. Found a place right on Ponte Bianco Tram stop, a good deal and clean space.
Should I look for another place? I could find only pricier and more cramped options close to the center. Slightly out of budget as well.
Thanks in advance:)
I’ll be traveling to Rome in August and looking to spend a day at the Vatican. Id like to do the museums/Sistine Chapel, basilica, and dome/roof climb. I see Leo typically addresses the crowd on Wednesdays (unless he’s out of town…as of now the Vatican’s calendar says he’ll be there). Can I do all of them (logistically speaking, not due to endurance)? Some info I’m finding seems to imply some areas are shut down on Wednesdays because of the papal audience, but I can’t find convincing confirmation. Insight appreciated.
Less important side note: how does one go about selecting a tour/company? Seems there are about as many options as tourists… (sarcastic ish)
We are heading to Rome this weekend, and plan to line up early on Sunday (6:30am) outside the main ticket office opposite the entrance for the free ticket (please tell me if any of this is wrong, or what could be done better). How do we get to the attic? Get Your Guide says I can't pre book a ticket. Can we still get an attic ticket at the ticket booth or just general?
This info might come in useful if travelling to Rome and looking for tickets to the main attractions.
As you know trying to book tickets for the colosseum etc can be tricky if you leave it to late, but I found if you join the membership club you can get tickets and the skip queues, plus access areas not open to the general public.

Has anyone used the compression packing bags? What are the pros & cons? We will be in Europe for almost 3 weeks and I’m trying to limit my luggage to just a carry on.
Thanks in advance.
looking please for non-tourist trap restaurants for lunch in Testaccio, assuming it's easy to get to after the Colosseum.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for 2 official transferable bibs for the Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon 2026 for my wife and me.
Unfortunately, we couldn't register before the race sold out because we were waiting for our visas to be approved. Thankfully, that's now sorted, but by then registration had already closed.
This race means a lot to us, especially to my wife. She has been training for the past six months, and it has been a major personal goal before she undergoes serious surgery in November 2026. We would love the opportunity to run it together.
If anyone can no longer participate and has one or, ideally, two bibs available for an official transfer, please send me a message. We will, of course, cover all official transfer fees and complete the transfer through the race's official process.
Thank you so much, and best of luck to everyone preparing for the race!
Going to be in Rome for the USA vs Bosnia game and was wondering if there are any bars or clubs that may have the game on and be open at 2am? Would appreciate any recommendations
Seriously… I can’t do this anymore.
I love this city, but the last few days have been insane. The second I step outside I instantly regret it, and by the time I reach the metro I’m already sweating through my T-shirt.
So I’m looking for ideas.
Not necessarily weekend trips, but even places within an hour or two from Rome where you can actually breathe. Lakes, rivers, beaches, mountain towns… anything that doesn’t feel like you’re living inside a pizza oven.
American travelling to Rome. What are some non obvious things to make sure you bring on the trip? For example, plug adapters.
Grazie mille!
There was a lady near Piazza Navona last week who lost a diamond. I think it fell out of her ring. Does anyone know if she found it?
Hey everyone,
Didn’t expect to end up here but here I am…
Going to Rome for 3 days in a few weeks. As a Portuguese I know way too well about tourist traps, fees, crowded places, overpriced “meh” restaurants for tourists etc…
Any suggestions on where to go? where to eat authentic food (without paying a kidney) and what to visit?
I really want to see the Pietà, Trevi Fountain and the Sistine Chapel (I studied art history so I’m probably gonna go a bit crazy there xD)
Also any tips besides slapping the shit out of pickpockets 😂
