Exploring Rome means stepping straight into the heart of ancient civilization! 🏛️✨ This city is iconic for its jaw-dropping history and classical architecture, and honestly, if you’re in town, the Roman Forum and Colosseum are absolute musts.
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Roman Forum (00186 Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy): Once the buzzing center of Roman public life, today its ruins are seriously photogenic and inspiring. Hours change seasonally (Sept: 08:30-19:15; Oct: 08:30-18:30; Oct 26-Dec: 08:30-16:30; closed Dec 25 & Jan 1). Admission: €16. Tip: Arrive early for quieter vibes and cooler temps!
2. Colosseum (Piazza del Colosseo, 1, 00184 Roma RM, Italy): This massive amphitheater needs zero intro—the epic gladiator battles went down here! Opening hours vary (mostly 08:30 start, closing ranges from 16:30 to 19:15), closed Jan 1 & May 1. Admission: €16. Pro tip: Pre-book your ticket online with a combo pass for quicker entry.
Getting Around Rome is super easy—just grab single Metro tickets or day passes for unlimited tram/metro/bus rides. The ancient sites are central, so walking between them is a breeze! Save cash on bottled water by refilling at public fountains throughout the city.
Food Spot: Refuel at Trattoria Luzzi (Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano, 88) near the Colosseum for classic Roman pasta and pizza with local flair. 🍝
Rome weather is mild most of the year but bring a hat/sunscreen if visiting in summer. Most major spots accept card, but keep some cash for street eats or small local cafés.
