I have already talked to you about Rome in some previous posts (A Day in Rome and Dinner at Vicolo 88), so I reckon you’ve guessed how much I love that city and consider it as one of my homes (refer to Home is Where the Heart is). As most of you know by now, I was there this summer, just before going to Croatia. This trip made me realize I’ll never get bored of Rome and will always keep on going back and discovering new things. Meanwhile, I’ve compiled a list of 20 things about Rome, to see, do, eat and drink. I hope you enjoy it!
1) The Vespas
2) The famous Aperitivo
3) The Sistine Chapel
4) The beautiful Architecture
5) The impressive Piazzas: Piazza Navona – Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Venezia to name just a few
6) The fascinating Pantheon (and all its surroundings)
7) The massive Colosseum
8) The Tiber
9) Ariccia: 30 minutes away from Rome by car, Ariccia is a tiny village where you absolutely have to taste the delicious Porchetta, the fresh homemade fluffy bread and the boar pasta (pâtes au sanglier or pasta con cinghiale) Y.U.M.
10) Vicolo 88: click here for more details
11) Trattoria Lo Scopettaro: for the best ever carbonara, an amazing tiramisu and a tasty house wine
12) Obikà for a nice and fresh mozzarella bar experience
13) Sant-Eustachio: a famous coffee place where even Kissinger went to have his coffee when in Rome 🙂
14) Trastevere
15) Illy Caffé at Piazza di Spagna
16) And of course, let’s not forget the Gelato: morning, afternoon and evening!
17) Campo di Fiori and its market
18) The pizza
19) The refreshments and snacks carts
20) And last but absolutely not least, Villa Borghese Gardens and Gallery
Do you have anything to add? I would love to hear your comments! 🙂

Thanks for this comprehensive list! I’m visiting Rome for the first time in just two weeks and will definitely be toting this guide with me. Any foodie recommendations for Florence, Tuscany, and Umbria’s Perugia?
Thank you! Glad you like it! 🙂 For Florence, make sure you go to Trattoria Guelfa for the best Florentine steak and in Tuscany, friends told me about Chianti with these 3 foodie places: la bottega di volpaia, panzanelle, and la perla del palazzo, all in radda in Chianti. Enjoy your trip! You’ll love it 🙂
Very nice article. I absolutely appreciate this site.
