My stay in Rome was a journey through history, accompanied by culinary highlights. The Colosseum made a deep impression on me as an impressive example of Roman architecture and history. Places like St Peter's Basilica and the Spanish Steps were impressive, but a little overcrowded, which slightly spoilt the overall experience.
The Trastevere neighbourhood deserves a special mention - with its narrow streets and picturesque squares, it gave a distinctive, local feel. I was able to try traditional Roman dishes in a small family restaurant, and the homemade pasta and local wine made for an unforgettable experience.
The Vatican Museums impressed with their impressive art collection, but the crowds were enormous. The recommendation to book tickets in advance proved to be extremely useful. The Trevi Fountain was a little disappointing, not as romantic as expected due to construction work and crowds.
Despite the many tourists, I found the "true essence" of Rome in hidden corners and charming neighbourhoods. If you visit the city, you should explore the well-known places early on and then delve off the beaten track into the city's hidden gems. And the pizza is simply unrivalled.

We were in Rome for 2 nights. We spent the first night in our campervan and the second night in a hotel near the Colosseum.
In summary, our holiday in Rome was simply fantastic! The city has so many impressive sights to offer, from the ancient ruins of the Colosseum (which was also our highlight) and the Roman Forum to the imposing St Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. We spent our days sightseeing and visiting museums and were richly rewarded for it. And the food! The Italian cuisine simply blew us away. From delicious pasta and pizza to fresh fish and delicious gelato - everyone really gets their money's worth in Rome. We went out to eat in a pizzeria in the city centre on both evenings.
We explored everything on foot. But there is also a metro network. You can also hire bikes or e-scooters.
Next time we wouldn't travel by car. We were warned several times that crime is very high in terms of theft from vehicles. That's why we booked a paid car park. This problem does not arise when travelling by plane.
Nevertheless, we can hardly wait to return and discover more of this fascinating city.

Sightseeing e.g. Collosseum, Pantheon etc.

Try the house wines in the restaurants. They are usually very tasty and cheaper than the wines on the menu.

My stay in Rome was an impressive journey through antiquity. Although the Colosseum and St Peter's Basilica were the sights with the most tourists, they were also the most beautiful.
The Trastevere neighbourhood was a culinary highlight. The narrow alleyways not only offered picturesque photo opportunities, but also authentic Italian cuisine.
The Vatican Museums impressed with their art treasures, but the crowds were overwhelming. My advice would be to book your tickets early. The Trevi Fountain, during its renovation, unfortunately lost some of its romance, but the centuries-old Pantheon with its impressive dome and the "Piazza Navona" made up for this failure.
Rome is a city of contrasts - between ancient ruins and vibrant culture. To fully savour its charm, I recommend visiting the tourist hotspots strategically and getting lost in the charming side streets. Otherwise you will run into a stream of tourists.
However, I would recommend the city of Rome 100 %. You have to have been there once in your life.

An impressive travel highlight in Rome is the Colosseum. The ancient amphitheatre structure fascinated me with its history and architecture.

I visited Rome in the summer and it was a really great trip. I was particularly impressed by all the places steeped in history. There are old buildings to look at everywhere. Rome also has lots of little alleyways to stroll through. Of course, you can eat very well everywhere, especially if you are a fan of Italian food. However, there are a few tourist spots where you can get ripped off. You should avoid these.

There is ancient history to see everywhere, such as the Roman Forum or the Collosseum. There are great neighbourhoods for going out and lots of lovely little streets for shopping.
Hidden gems
Be sure to stroll through Trastevere and eat something there.

Rome, the capital of Italy, is a city you have to visit once in your life. Especially the sights such as the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. We travelled to Rome in November and the weather was good, but I would recommend travelling to Rome in September or October. The food is good, especially the pasta dishes at Tonnarello. I like pizza better in Germany and the prices are sometimes higher than in Germany.

Your Rome Accommodation
The history of the city spans over 2,500 years right back to the Roman Empire and Roman Kingdom. This can be seen in the famous sights in the city today, for example, the Colosseum. Built in 70AD, the amphitheatre is an iconic symbol of Rome's history. Although the building stands partially ruined today because of damage from earthquakes and stone robbers, it is still a hotspot for tourists. St Peter’s Basilica – arguably the most famous church in the world. When you walk in you realise the extent of its size and you are immediately consumed by beautiful art and architecture.
The perfect Italian adventure – perfect for couples and families!
Italy's climate allows for great holiday making in holiday homes in Rome all year round due to its mild but warm temperatures in the winters and it's sunny, higher temperatures in the Summer. Rome's famous seasonal dishes such as saucy pastas in the winter and grilled and barbecued meals for the summer, also add that bit of variation you desire in your holidays. Rome is the right place. The city has many quarters as well as being within reach of a wide range of delightful towns such as Tivoli and Guidonia.
This diverse capital city can be found in the region of Lazio in Italy and for those spending a holiday here as a family, there is plenty to do, explore and see! The Children's Museum can be found in the city centre and is great for those who enjoy hands-on science museums! If the kids want to check out some animals, the Zoo marine is great for seeing a wide variety of tropical water animals including dolphins and sea lions! If you want to teach the kids more about the Roman history, 3-D Remind provides an insight into what it was like during the Roman period. Very educational but entertaining, afterwards why not hit the Roman Market and take the kids shopping and find a bargain so you have something to remember your trip with.
Rome is alive day and night
During the night time, the ruins of Rome light up the night sky, just think of it as a ancient Times Square. This ancient city really never sleeps, with an array of dance festivals, bars and English speaking theatres to dazzle you, you'll be spoilt for choice. Rome's night time climate averages out at almost 20 degrees allowing you to enjoy the city of Rome in comfortable weather.
Stylish or practical dining in the capital
Have you ever tried spaghetti with swordfish sauce or straccetti all'Ortica, meat in nettle sauce? In a typical Roman osteria you can also get a chilled glass of Frascati or Castelli di Roma to go with it, the most famous white wines of the region. Sea bass with truffles is best to let it melt in your mouth.
A specialty in Roman restaurants is duck carpaccio or spaghetti alla Gricia with belly meat, peccorino and pepper. Taglioni with game, truffles and mussels sounds like a break in style when you first read it, but Roman cuisine is also quite imaginative.
Villas as temples of art
The main museum of Etruscan art, the people who inhabited the seven hills of the city before the Romans, is located in Villa Giulia. The sarcophagus of a married couple, the richly ornamented Faliscan jar and the famous one-armed Apollo of Veji are the most famous exhibits.
.
Surrounded by an opulent Mediterranean garden, the Villa Borghese shows itself. Here you will meet, among others, the master builder of the colonnades in St. Peter's Square. Baroque star Gianlorenzo Bernini created the inspiring sculptures Abduction of Proserpina as well as Apollo and Daphne.
A vacation apartment in the middle of the lively old town
The picturesque Centro Storico is the medieval center of Rome. You can stroll through the narrow streets and find cozy restaurants in cozy corners. Here you will find the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. If you rent a vacation apartment near Campo dei Fiori Square, you'll be right in the middle of the lively nightlife. Lively beer bars with live music offer entertaining evenings. Charming stores, small gourmet stores and colorful street markets line this area close together. Pretty ice cream parlors and coffee bars are always open.
A rental car would be pointless here, as the district is closed to general traffic from Monday to Saturday from 6am to 6pm. Parking is impossible to find and garages are scarce, so you'd better rent a bike or an electric mini-car. You can find that at Piazza del Popolo and return it to the recharging point in the evening.
Airy apartments in Parioli
High on one of the seven hills lies the exclusive district of Parioli. Classic villas with beautiful gardens allow the fresh breeze from the sea to circulate freely. This is where the finer bourgeoisie lives and your Rome vacation rental is quiet and comfortable. For shopping, there are several small stores and the vegetable market in Viale Parioli. There you will also find elegant restaurants and chic nightclubs.
The neighborhood is lined by the famous Via Veneto and the well-kept Villa Borghese city park. Its observation deck is just opposite St. Peter's Basilica and offers a gorgeous panorama of the city. Here you will also find the imposing Villa Borghese Museum with its valuable classical art gallery.
