We just got back from Rome a week ago and while I didn't see this before hand, we saw 90% of what was shown in the video. Super easy to get around the city and we felt safe at all times. Riding metro between some locations was easy. We also took bullet trains from Rome to Naples where we then rented a car and drove the Amalfi Coast and stayed in Positano. Then a bullet train from Rome to Florence and a regular train to Pisa. All highly recommend to see as well. Such a great trip and cannot wait to go back.
Can you please tell me approximately how much the bullet train from Rome to Florence costs in American money. I am still trying to figure out the Italian money conversion.
Nice! read all the comments and very helpful. It will be my first trip to Rome so excited and mind blank. May I ask, would you recommend public transport in general? Did you also try using Uber there? Thanks
@@encourager124 We had no issue with using Metro while in Rome. It got us where we wanted to be quickly and safely. We did not use Uber or busses/trams at all while we were there.
Hi, how much take did it take you from Rome to Pisa with the bullet train? I am also planning a trip to Rome and I will be happy to receive some guidance 😊.
I just came back from Rome, sadly most of the iconic places are under renovation so I couldn't see them as they really are but I didn't want to come back me, I wanted to stay, the city is just pure magic.
It’s less than 24 hours I came back from Rome. Watching this video .. well explained .I completed all these in 48 hrs . Hectic. 72 hours gives more space .
Pantheon, building in Rome that was begun in 27 BC by the statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. The Pantheon was dedicated in AD 609 as the Church of Santa Maria Rotonda
Over the years, I've been to Rome a dozen times for work. Ive been to many other European hot spot cities as well. Rome is the only place I would spend my own money to go back to. The Metro system there is fantastic and super easy to figure out. I always stayed within a few blocks of El Centro - where the main Metro Hub is. From there, you can go anywhere easily and the hotels are fine and not as expensive as it is within walking distance of the historic district. For beach lovers take the Metro to Osteo Lido, its the last Metro train stop going west. Get off and walk half a mile to the black sand beach. Mind your feet. That black sand is super hot, even on just a mildly warm sunny day. (ask me how I know). There are some great restaurants, but they can be pricey. I had the best steak meal of my life there, (cant remember the name of the restaurant tho). For the budget minded, or if you're pressed for time, the food at the Pizza Rustica places is great and a lot less expensive than the cafes and restaurants - a LOT less expensive! I love me some Pizza Rustica! For those craving to sit at a table on the sidewalk and have a refreshment while people watching - The same coffee sitting at a sidewalk table will cost twice what it does while standing. IMO, its worth it though. Dont expect the waiter to come check on you. He won't. If you need him, or her, just wave them over. My personal favorite handout is Piazza Novona at dusk. Not overly crowded like Trevi is and plenty of tables around to sit at, rest your feet, and have a coffee or a beer.
I would love ❤️ to visit Rome and see the colosseum…my friend said she stays in Monti and it’s absolutely beautiful…but watching your vlog as gave me inspiration to look today on the internet regarding flights and hotels….thank you for sharing this amazing place
Not to nitpick but the Centro Storico is pretty much all of what any tourist will see. And a few minutes looking up pronunciation would help hugely. Trastevere is NOT a good place to stay, being inconvenient for most people to the majority of sites. It IS quite charming and good at dinner time or lunch (when the cannon go off on the hillside to mark noon. ) Rome offers free city sponsored tours that take appx 3 hours to see 80% of what you mention. Only reserve a spot through city website and do tip your guide. A guided tour of Vatican museum and San Pietro will skip the lines at Piazza San Pietro, saving potentially hours in the sun. Alternatively organize a tour of the Scavi through the Vatican website and see a 1sy century cemetery emerging inside San Pietro, also skipping the line to get into the piazza.
Just came back to let you know this video was really helpful to me. Thank you❤. I also laid my hands on Clarke Wigg’s Rome travel guide, a priceless book that gave me the secrets of having the best Rome vacations. I’ll recommend that to everyone as well. Btw this video is the best start for anyone planning to go to Rome
I’m planning on going solo to Rome in April 2024. Should I just book on my own or would it be best to join a travel group? This will be my first time in Europe.
Well done! We can’t wait to go back. By the way, it is NOT crazy expensive to get there (we flew round trip from Toronto for $350 in 2018) or stay there. I did 10 days ALL in for $2,000. EVERYTHING! Oh, that 2k included Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Riomaggiore and Venice. GO! (Please learn the correct pronunciation of the places).
I'm going from Sask in the summer of 2025. Its 1500 for our hotel for 4 nights, and the flights for 4 people are about 3000. that's without other expenses such as food and tickets for places. Inflation ig 🤷♀
Hi, Thank you for sharing information about Rome. Can you or anyone else provide some good recommendations for places to stay in Rome in 2 months, within walking distance to Pantheon, Colosseum and Trevi Fountain?
We rented bicycles. I was worried about false or real claims on my credit card from damage or tickets on a scooter/moterxycle. Rome as tourists see it is actually pretty small. And we could lock them in the courtyard of our Airbnb.
You DO NOT need a passport to enter the Vatican City and you should avoid carrying it on a sightseeing tour as there are pickpockets in the most touristy areas. Leave it in the hotel safe.
Rome is truly an amazing city to explore. The city itself is a museum. Spent 6 nights 2 weeks ago and needed probably 2 more days. A few comments on my experience: The food is actually lackluster so don't be overtly excited. Not many options besides puzza and pasta. The pasta is definitely better than pizza an stick to anything that has truffle. Purchase as many tour guides as you can, it will make your exploration so much more enjoyable and educational. Be prepared for insane crowds... like insane. If crowds bother you don't even think of going to the Vatican, my worst experience of our trip. There is nowhere to sit in the city besides at a restaurant. Currently at Florence which is a much 'nicer ' city but absolutely jam packed with American students so it feels like a bit life a student town. The food is so much better here though and there are many more food options which Rome doesn't offer. The history of Rome and setting the rings in person is still an unbelievable experience and will definitely be reworking in a few years time to enjoy it again.
The food is not lackluster by any stretch of the imagination. You probably found a bunch of tourist traps. Not many options besides pasta and pizza? Did you visit the city with your eyes closed? There are excellent restaurants (mostly italian, roman, japanese, thai, chinese, indian and greek), pizzerias, gelaterias, bakeries, pastry shops scattered around the city.
Take a train from RomeTermini to Anzio - walk down the hill and enjoy one of the finest and cleanest beaches in the Med. My daughter and I went in October 2022 and had the whole beach to ourselves - a lifetime experience, in memory always and forever. You can also pay respects to all the Allied Soldiers who lost their life there. Rome is home for us, we have been so many times. Castile St Angelo is hidden gem - we usually walk from Vatican City after Angelus or the Papal Audience and walk down the wall that conceals the seceret tunnel that previous Pontiffs used to escape attackers. Guess where I will be in the Summer?
Just to clear the record, Limestone and Travartine are not volcanic rocks. Limestone is a carbonate based sedimetry rocks that form in sea beds. Travartine is a very similar carbonate rock but was formed from mineral rich waters in a terrestrial enviornment not a sea bed.
Okay it has been brought to our attention that there was an error regarding the passport for the Vatican. No you do not need it! My apologies for the confusion.
Love the videos , obviously your limited by time but lots more to see than the “main “ tourist traps , my I recommend a freebie day , circus maximus , up to the secret keyhole down the hill to the pyramid then behind it to the non catholic graveyard (also no passport at Vatican museums now it does say on the ticket take them but they never check now )
omg this video is full of artsy vibes.I actually didn't plan to visit Italy at first but after watching this video, I think I should add it to my travel plans! I think I'll go with the train from Spain because I'll have a friend to help me get cheap train tickets without having to go to the airport and wait for a long time in advance. I can't wait to go and relax
You may need ID in some sites in a new attempt officials are trying to curb ticket resellers scalping tickets. This drives up prices and makes getting them harder for actual visitors. Carrying one’s passport is unnecessary and potentially foolish. Leave it locked in your hotel safe or Airbnb, hidden in your luggage unless it’s needed. Your home country Driving License or other government issue ID is adequate.
Nice video but I would like to comment on something that has been said already,passports in the Vatican. While there isn't a "checkpoint" where passports are checked as they relinquished it to the Italian Republic as the Vatican is a small landlocked state without ports or airports,it is useful to know that in Italy we are required to carry an ID at all times hence in the Vatican also as i wouldn't leave my ID card anywhere before going to st Peter's. Plus if i wanted to be picky (and i am 😂) travertine is not a volcanic rock but made of sediment,limescale. Plus the Pantheon is older than claimed also as a Roman i would say the pizza looks dry 😊
Upon further research. Even though the Vatican is another country. You actually actually do not need to bring your passport to enter into the Vatican. Simply purchase tickets and you are in.
It looks beautiful but the crowds r way too much in some spaces Tourism is nice for places but my goodness put a capacity limit in tighter areas otherwise ppl can’t enjoy anything if they r all pushed and shoved and there’s too many ppl
Your cinematography is just beautiful! But please try to pronounce the Italian words and especially names correctly. Thank you! Other than that, we appreciate your content.
Heated from people that the Colosseum is no longer available for people to get inside. Been there four times but how about first timer travelers probably they’ll feel like being robbed. Not fear to them and that’s sad.
That’s not true. Tickets require a little planning but can easily be gotten. The ongoing debate Rome is resolving is how to limit resellers buying all the tickets and marking them up 100%. So you must show ID matching your ticket now, so that Rome knows that tickets are being bought for the person using them.
