Essential Rome Tips
Rome’s historic heart is surprisingly walkable, making its landmarks easily accessible. Begin your day at the Trevi Fountain before the crowds gather, then wander to the Spanish Steps for a relaxed morning stroll and boutique shopping. As you move through the city, stop by the Pantheon, take in the vibrant Piazza Navona with its gelato shops, and head toward the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum.
For a taste of authentic Roman cuisine, head to the bohemian neighborhood of Trastevere, where trattorias serve traditional dishes in cozy settings. If you’re craving pizza, try the less familiar pizza al taglio at La Renella Forno – large slices baked in a pan and portioned by weight, distinct from the Neapolitan style known in the UK. For a unique twist, opt for a pizza topped with zucchini flowers, mozzarella, and anchovies. Alternatively, grab a quick espresso and fluffy Maritozzi buns from a street vendor or small café.
