Rome - Experience the Dolce Vita in Italy

Rome is a city so rich in every way, that it can be visited again and again. With its many monuments, every street corner reveals a page of history where art and culture intertwine in a vibrant urban panorama.

Rome is not only the capital of Italy; it is a vast open-air museum, rich with monuments that tell stories of empire, faith, and art.

My favorite

Explore the City by Vespa

Exploring Rome by Vespa is an authentic way to discover the city while using an iconic scooter. You will have the freedom to explore the city at your own pace while avoiding the constraints of public transport. With a Vespa, you can easily access less touristy areas and discover hidden gems that most visitors do not see. This includes charming neighborhoods off the beaten path, artisanal shops, and panoramic views inaccessible by bus or metro. It is an experience in itself. For rentals, visit Bici & Baci, they are the best!

Visit the Villa Borghese

The Villa Borghese Park is the third largest public park in Rome and offers an area of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a beautiful park where you can rent bikes or boats to explore its lakes, English gardens, and shaded paths.

My advice

Rome is a very beautiful city in Europe that can be visited again and again due to its numerous monuments and activities. For your stay, I recommend the Nazionale Hotel which has a central location and offers the possibility of having a room with a view of the Pantheon dome. Incredible! Or the Boutique Hotel Campo de’ Fiori which has a rooftop with an breathtaking view over all of Rome.
To make the most of the city, it is better to visit it early, before the crowds. To enjoy a magnificent view of the Colosseum, I suggest having a Spritz on the rooftop of the Victor Emmanuel II monument at sunset. And to have a perfect stay, go taste Da Fortunata’s fresh carbonara pasta, you won’t regret it!
