My favorite is the pinchio, which is part of Villabolge. here are some other rowboats number 21 in villa borgese villa borghese was the literal residence of the cardinal shipyard. He developed it into a kind of secret garden with peacocks and exotic animals running around. What's up dude? See how villa borghese ghetto basically translates to? lake avila borgese is a small lake but you can rent rowboats it's really cool and then there's a temple at the bottom. It's a cool situation, so definitely do it if you have time. It's great for families and kids to read more. and things to do in little british definitely check out our blog, we have a page dedicated just to things to do there number 20 palazzo attempts located next to piazza navona at piazza de sant apollinare number 46 the entrance fee is seven euros and a Sometimes there is an extra There is an additional fee for an exhibition that might exist, which is usually about three years longer, so you will probably get in for less than 10 euros.

Admittedly, most Rome extras won't credit this museum as high on the list, but I like it. I like going into this museum because it is always practically empty and it is a beautiful museum. The first thing you want to see there is the galata ludavisi which in English is the golf ludovici, also known as the galata suicide, the gall suicide is my favorite room of ancient statues. and the story is extremely romantic in a twisted way. You have to read more about her on our blog. The second thing to see inside this museum is the Ludavisi battle sarcophagus, which is absolutely stunning.

It is a huge group of figures on top of a sarcophagus. Words can't really describe it, like most museums in Rome, it is a private collection that was actually handed over to the state. This usually happens when you know that someone decides to donate it to the state or there are errors when transmitting it. Again, you won't see a Sistine Chapel-type fresco here, but it's still an amazing gallery, an amazing museum, something you can visit. It only costs between seven and ten euros and you can have a great time there. You certainly win if you take a tour of this particular museum, but you can also make a list of things to see and do some phone research number 19 eating gnocchi eating meat on Thursdays and only on Thursdays one of the most wonderful and beautiful things of Rome and Italy as a whole is the Tradition is what I like most about the country, it is all the traditions they have.

You imagine there were rules for basically everything you eat and drink, but they were wonderful rules that everyone loved and adored, and even the travelers when they came in were like, "Oh my God, these." the rules are so crazy because the rules are stories the rules are based on tradition and culture that's how Rome works and gnocchi is no different it's only served on Thursdays in the traditional Roman trattoria why gnocchi is made with potatoes and Other Heavy Ingredients A large plate of gnocchi with sugar ricarne, which is a meat sauce with tomato, is more than filling.

Thursday can be an exciting day, so you can probably get a plate of gnocchi at a tablecloth shop or pizzeria that serves the dishes of the day for five euros, we're like that. like a paper plate or a takeout summoner and they're just amazing so delicious that you're just going to devour them, but wait a minute, I'm getting ahead of myself why only Thursday in Rome on Friday was a day. eating fish this is because meat was prohibited on fridays as penance on the day of christ's death not only during lent but all year round fish can be delicious but often light and digested quickly the romans thought that They would eat gnocchi on Thursday to fill themselves up in preparation for the lighter meal on Friday, then they would eat the tripe on Saturday to balance the scales as it is also a heavier meal, regardless if you want to be traditional in a good way, order gnocchi with Consumption meat on Thursday while you are in Rome, if you are not. there on Thursday you just have to miss number 18 Piazza Navona Piazza Navona is a unique square and a must see place, while in Rome, I mean you literally can't miss it, it's completely pedestrianized and full of restaurants and cafes which you can walk through. walk around on foot and admire its three fountains with its famous central fountain of the four rivers by john lorenzo bernini the bernini fountain is framed by the impressive church of saint agnese in agony which was designed by a father and son rhinology team their last name es rhinoli together with francesco boramini there are wife stories about the relationship between the church of bordomini and the bernice fountain that were undoubtedly created from the bitter rivalry between the two figures.

Now let's explain that at one point Boromini was working at Palazzo Barbarini, a separate site, and you know that he was working underneath. Another gentleman who ended up passing away, so you would think that Boro Mini was selected next to design the palace, but they didn't bring in Bernini instead of Boromini to finish the commission, so Buddha Mini was very angry about this, obviously. , and that is where The rivalry derived from the story is that Bernini's statue representing the Nile River is extending its hands towards a church as if preparing for its fall due to its incompetence, which is highly unlikely that this It is a shocking meeting considering that the fountain was built years before the church began.

But maybe Bernini was a visionary and put it there anyway 17. Join a food tour Food tours are all the rage in Europe because they are the best way to try a variety of local dishes. We entered the field of food tours in 2013 and were very focused. From our efforts in ever-changing and evolving neighborhoods and restaurants, we entered the food field in 2013 and have since focused much of our efforts on the ever-changing and evolving cuisine of Trastevere. Our tour begins in Campo de Fiori and migrates across the Ponte Sisto in Trastevere, which is the perfect combination of walking and eating.

Visit many stops, up to six, sometimes as few as four, and eat and drink along the way. Taking a food tour is a must for anyone visiting Rome, Florence or Venice. See our Trastevere. Local food tour in Rome and also check out our other food tours around Europe. Yes, you will eat a lot of food and yes, you would drink a lot of wine if you want, if you don't want to, no. i have to, but it's there waiting for you number 16 check out the kappa museum to line the capitolin museum or musee capitalini is definitely the complete package the theme of the museum is more ancient history, which is appropriate since it's located on the outer edge From the Roman Forum with one of the best views of the ancient city center, the Capitoline Museum is actually three buildings, so it is like a complex composed of the Palazzo Senatorio, the Palazzo Conservatory and the Palazzo Nuova.

All of these buildings were designed or redesigned by michelangelo uh michelangelo just had a massive effect on the curb appeal of the museum complex and the entire area. He is responsible for the design of these museums that are in Piazza Cappadolio and the stairs that go up to the museum, which are called the cordonata, now the stairs like, who cares? a ladder is no big deal, but these ladders are specifically designed so you can climb them in a horse carriage. Admission costs 11 and a half euros plus the exhibition fee, which sometimes there is and there isn't, which could be like three, four or even five euros.

Number fifteen, eat the mathrishana, this should probably be higher on the list because the Matrixhana is the typical dish of Rome, but you know that's how it works, so like any good rivalry, Rome is divided between two factions, the Matrixhana Carbonara is almost like Rome and Latio football teams except it is a pasta dish, both dishes are delicious and it would be impossible to decide which one is really better. You know, say it as a fact. I can't take sides, but I tend to do lamarishana even more. It is my number one favorite dish in Rome, maybe I don't know, like many of the best Italian dishes.

This Roman favorite is made with simple ingredients. It's often made in homes, those little grape tomatoes and you like to sauté them quickly. tomato sauce, you cut the pancetta and it's something quick and easy and then obviously you add pecorino cheese and chilies and different things like that, it's a really excellent dish, you definitely have to look for a recipe, but don't look like mathrishana's recipe on English and start searching for what you want to search, read chetta which is the Italian word for amaterishana recipe and then look for a blog post in Italian that describes how to prepare it and then translate that blog post in English, that is the only way to do That's right, otherwise you like these quirky English versions by Matthew Shannon.

Not good. Now there is another rivalry between amateur Chinese purists, which is spaghetti or buccatini. Now you can say that Bucatini is the original recipe, that I also prefer Buccatini, but in Rome. The dish can be served with spaghetti or cut manuka or you know, bucatini, they're just different types of pasta, but you know, unlike what you see very often in the United States or you know in Western countries, the type of pasta you use with the type of sauce is extremely important, it's almost like you can't even put the pasta you want with a different type of sauce anyway, le Matrixan is one hundred percent a must-eat dish.

My recommendation is that if you can try to make it at home, do it, but otherwise, just eat. at Rome number 14, visit the orange groves and the keyhole, this is one of those magical little places in Rome that is a total pleasure. You'll also find this in our blog post on free things to do in Rome, so definitely check out the park, it's pretty. Small, at 24,000 square feet or 7,800 meters, it sits on top of Rome's famous Aventine Hill and is just a few steps from the Rome Lock, so you basically have to find your way up the Aventine Hill, which can be quite difficult, I mean, there are buses and stuff, the easiest way to do it is to take a taxi or take a tour.

Now you go to the orange grove, look at the incredible view and then you walk, jump or jump to the keyhole and there is something incredible. Something called the keyhole, Los Naranjos Park was designed in 1932 and is attached to the Basilica of Santa Sabina, which is like an incredible ancient basilica or church to go see. It is a very quiet viewpoint and you will not find many visitors. I have to rent some kind of transfer like I was saying but you can even take a bike or a taxi to the top and now it's fine otherwise you have to check the keyhole too, now the thing is I'm not going to do it. spoil this and let him know what's behind the keyhole, that's the appeal of the whole thing, so definitely don't even search the internet, say oh what's behind the keyhole, just try going to Rome , obviously, and go check the keyhole there. the way to do it number 13 walk through the tiber island the tiber island is an incredible modern site two bridges connect both shores of rome with this small island that houses one of the main hospitals in rome, the locals say that if you were not born in Tiber Island, you're not Roman, I mean honestly it's common for locals to like to end arguments and use being born on Tiber Island as credibility for their facts about Rome, like if you had an argument they would say oh.

I was born on the Tiber Island, so I know more, you know, you could probably even see people putting on their resume, they were born on the Tiber Island, it's that important, although I'm wrong, the legend is the body of the last kingof Rome before the republic, Tarkinius. Superbus was thrown onto the Tiber Island in 510 BC. C. and eventually sediment built up around it to form the actual island, which is almost definitely not true, but you know I love me, a good legend, so let's go with it this summer. Seeing open bars on the Tiber, even a mini movie theater, it's one of my favorite places to sit, have a drink with friends and loved ones in a hot summer because plus the river cools things down a bit, so it's really nice, definitely Can't wait to bring my kids back here after this whole crazy pandemic number 12 la boca de la Verdad in Italian la boca de la Verdad is known as poco de la verita which literally translates to the mouth of the True, the disk is more than 2000 years old, so it is literally a disk and it has a hole in the middle and the hole is represented as the mouth.

Now the first house of this is most likely a temple of Hercules that is literally across the street from where it is. today and was probably a drain cover for runoff water now exists in the holyThe church of Mary Cosmidiana which is across the street and, you know, by the temple of Hercules, the figure on the front of the disk is Oceanus and weighs about 3000 pounds or 1300 kilograms. I mean it's a huge ocean. He was a titan god of the sea. Today, visitors pay two euros. put your hand in the mouth of truth and take a photo there is quite a sign but it only lasts a few moments, I mean it's more intimidating than anything else, the legend is that you put your hand in the mouth of truth and tell Lie, they will rip your hand off.

The legend was immortalized in the Roman Holidays of 1953, when Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn's character visited the place and Gregory Peck put his hand in there and pulled it out, he put his hand in his sleeve and it looked like he was bitten and Audrey Hepburn pretended. be surprised while definitely checking out the center of the cosmic church, so just go inside, okay, the word cosmetics is derived from the Greek word meaning pure, okay, and inside the church you will find the important Christian relic. valentine's skull also look at the floors, these are called cosmidian floors, so there are cosmodes brothers who make these floors and then when you get to the sistine chapel, you know, on your assistant tour of the chapel, obviously with us, check a look at the flats too exactly The same flats that the cusmidian brothers were super popular for making flats in Rome so you will see their flats all over number 11.

Trajan's column trade is an amazing monument and a piece of propaganda survivor of the second century. The column has an incredible history and plays a huge role in our ability to reconstruct ancient Roman timelines. The column was built approximately in the year 113 AD. and honors Emperor Trajan's first conquest in Dasha or modern-day Romania. It is located in the form of a shop and is also dedicated to the late emperor and measures 114 feet. or 35 meters high now the column is wrapped with a helical that rotates 23 times around the column and presents 2 62 figures that tell 155 stories or scenes.

Well, a huge column survived so long with some stories, what's the problem with the column? It is hollowed out in the center and there is a staircase leading to the top, at the top today you will find a statue of St Peter, but you better believe that the figure of Trajan was sitting on top until it was removed by the church. and replaced with Saint Peter, the symbolism goes further. Trajan's Forum is home to the Trade Market, which was a multi-level market that even featured luxury apartments in the center of Rome. Yes, the Romans wanted the same materials we did before the market was built there.

There was a huge hill there, how high did you get it right? 114 feet high. Trajan built a huge phallic symbol the size of the hill that moved with him to the top. Amazing things never change. Store number 10 near the Spanish Steps is fine, the Spanish Steps in Piazza Espana is synonymous with high-end shopping due to the high concentration of luxury stores nearby. Italy's most famous shopping street, Via Condotti, is directly opposite the Spanish Steps in Piazza Espana. The Italian name for these stairs is the scalinata of Trinita di Monti, what do they call the Spanish Steps Well, the Spanish embassy is located about 100 meters south of the Spanish Steps and the square is called Piazza Spain.

There is a lot to do in the stage area. We even have an article with things to do near the Spanish Steps, so check out number nine. head to Pompeii on the Mafi coast, okay, so getting out of Rome is not really a thing to do in Rome, but if you're there, people always say how many days should I spend in a room, you want to spend five or six days. in Rome easy, I mean four should be the absolute minimum because there are so many things to do around, it's a great starting point for things to do.

Getting to Pompeii from Rome takes approximately 2.5 hours by car and 3.5 hours by train, making it an accessible day trip from the city. If you take the train, you will spend approximately 65 euros round trip on trains plus transportation to and from the train stations and you have to stop. Then there's your entrance ticket to Pompeii, which will cost you about $10. and it costs about 75 euros per person and you are going to enter Pompeii, which is literally a city without a tour guide and almost nothing is labeled for only 145 euros per person, you can join a day trip to Pompeii from Rome.

On our part, obviously, that includes a stop in Sorrento, which is basically the mafia coast, including transportation to and from Pompeii, a guided tour of Pompeii for two hours with a Pompeii archaeologist, and a stop in Sereno. All of this is done by bus or coach like a smaller bus. However, there is one and there is an assistant all the time. I highly recommend going to Pompeii while in Rome and our day trip is great value for money. Check out our Rome and Pompeii day trip with a stop at Sorrento number eight. Throw some coins into the Trevi Fountain.

If you haven't spent enough money to go to Rome, now you have to go and flip three coins, but you know, you can flip any coin of any size, no matter the value. The Trevi Fountain is among the most magnificent fountains in the world, whose home. It is in Rome, Italy, the fountain is completely free to visit as it is outdoors and open all the time. The enormous masterpiece is located at the back of the Poli Palace, right in the center of Rome. By the way, Palacio means palace and Poli is the name of the town.

The famous John Lorenzo Bernini had that in the police palace. He was originally going to design the fountain in the 17th century but nothing came a hundred years later. This guy Nicola Salvi got the job after losing a competition for the best drawing. Yes, Salvi lost a Florentine named Alessandro Galli. , so alessandro gauli ran against savi gali won, savi lost and the romans were mad because florentino got the commission and finally salvi was the guy who won the job simply out of fear of the mafia so he got the job even though he lost . Construction began in 1732 and was completed in 1762 11 years after Salvi's death The work was handed over to an architect named Giuseppe Panini who worked with several sculptors to finish a product Yes, his last name means sandwiches very good, he probably didn't invent it , although The Fountain Facade tells a fascinating story of its history.

You can see it through the eyes of a local garden. We cover our route in one day. You can also read about it in our blog number seven. Try a Jewish artichoke in the Jewish ghetto. Cartofia Judea translates as Jewish. artichokes Artichokes thrive in Rome's climate, so they are a very popular city with two main recipes Judean, which is the Jewish way of making it, and Roman ala, which is the Roman way of making it, don't worry you can prefer either one without fear of reprisals but Jews are almost always chosen as the winners why are they fried Jewish artichokes are seasoned with salt and pepper and then fried twice in olive oil yes, twice that's how they turn out super crispy in Italian is called crunchy, they are also fried in olive oil, which is a high quality oil, it is not like palm or peanut oil, it is olive oil.

Different oils have different boiling points, so there are really no Jewish artichokes unless they are fried in olive oil twice Roman style. Roman style artichokes are a world of difference the only thing they are the same is that they are both artichokes the preparation and cooking time is more intense and the result is different these artichokes are often served cold but are cooked for up to 30 minutes and are They season with garlic, mint and lemon, olive oil and black pepper. This may sound a little eccentric and possibly politically incorrect, but I would stick to religion on this one.

If the restaurant is run by Catholics, I would order Roman-style artichokes. If it's a Jewish restaurant, I would order Jewish-style artichokes without a doubt. How do you know who runs the restaurant without asking an awkward question? Well the Jewish ghetto is still mainly occupied by Jewish run restaurants so if you are in the Jewish ghetto order Jewish artichoke and if you are outside the Jewish ghetto or a Roman restaurant. artichoke style the catacombs of domatilla the ancient romans were pagans okay pagans worshiped many gods during different periods there were different customs but burial was rarely used in roman times pagans burned their dead and it is mainly For health reasons, Christians were more, you know, crazy. cult at that time in the 2nd century and the pagans thought it was so silly that they wanted to bury people, they didn't think much about it and told them if they wanted to do it that was fine, they just had to do it outside the city walls .

This way we don't have a plague running around or anything, that's how the catacombs were used from the 2nd century onwards. Yes, you can visit the catacombs in Rome in almost any month of the year. You can visit them yourself or a tour of the catacombs makes it a little easier because it takes you to and from the catacombs and also from other points of interest such as the Appian Way and the bones of the Capuchins. Visit our store number five of the catacombs of Rome. Visit the exclusive vatican gardens now this is a cool and very exclusive experience the vatican gardens are a beautiful and well maintained set of gardens and fountains within the vatican city you would never know you are in the bustling city of rome or the many Vatican museums, entering these gardens is more difficult than you think.

Fortunately we offer tours and other ways to visit them. It is a 57-acre complex complete with its own train station. Our tour actually takes you from the Vatican Gardens to Castell Gandolfo. Is incredible. Definitely click the link. check it out if you want to visit the vatican gardens and castle gandalfo number four see the pantheon the pantheon was one of the largest structures in rome and the best preserved structure from antiquity with that argument if anyone argued with me go ahead the pantheon It's where it is. The building survives today as a Roman Catholic church of St.

Mary of the Angel, but was originally a pagan temple. The name pantheon possibly translates as "of all the gods", but there is much speculation as to whether all the gods were worshiped there or not. Construction began at the beginning of the 19th century. 2nd century AD under the rule of Emperor Hadrian and was inaugurated about 10 years after the façade reads Marcus Agrippa son of Lucius built this console for the third time Marcus Agrippa actually built the original structure but it was like comparing a barn to the Eiffel Tower the Original structure commissioned by Marx Agrippa burned twice due to its wooden construction Hadrian commissioned the current structure in stone, so it stood the test of time, although it is unknown who the original architect is, it is commonly believed that the only talented architect enough to build the inner dome which is incredible, it would have been the Apollo Durias of Damascus, it is quite impressive, don't come to Rome and miss pantheon number three, visit the Bulgazi gallery, the Borghese gallery is a small unpretentious museum and it is the most pleasant museum in Rome.

In my humble opinion, for various reasons, it now costs a bit to enter, so it is 15 euros, which can vary depending on the exhibitions that are held, but it is an incredible experience. First, they limit the number of visitors not only during a pandemic but throughout the year. times 360 visitors, secondly, they limit the time you can stay inside to two hours, which is the perfect amount of time to visit the gallery. Last, and definitely not least, they have possibly one of the largest collections of baroque artwork per square foot in the world, the Borghese Gallery. It is home to at least 10 high-profile works by John himself.Lorenzo Bernini He will also find paintings by masters such as caravaggio raphael peter paul rubins and more. the brigazi gallery is my favorite tour because I really enjoy a good story o The Fable Broken artwork itself is exciting and you can see that in the sudden movements also each painting or sculpture tells a story and like I said I like a good history.

Check out the Borghese Gallery Storytellers' Private Tour. It is a shorter tour and is reasonably priced for a private. Experience just your group and the guide will make this the highlight of your Rome art experience number two. Explore the underground of the Colosseum. The Colosseum is a modern symbol of Rome and one of the most desired attractions in the world. It is an absolutely incredible experience. A monument that still stands almost 2,000 years after its construction, the city of Rome is proud of the Colosseum and that demonstrates the access available to restricted areas. General admission to the Colosseum may allow you to skip the line, but you will only be able to access the first and second levels, not including the arena floor, we have tours and experiences that visit the underground tunnels beneath the coliseum that were used by gladiators and exhibitors. all.

There are a variety of tours that visit different areas of the coliseum and include Restricted Underground Access. You can visit our page that breaks down Colosseum tours or purchase an underground Colosseum tour in the description below. Visit number one to the Vatican before it opens. The Vatican Museum is a bucket list item for Rome and the world. It's an incredible collection. Of Renaissance art that culminates in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel actually culminates in the enormous St. Peter's Basilica, which means that the Sistine Chapel is just a stop on the way to the Basilica. Yes, it is incredible that one of the works of most sought after art in the world is just a stop on the way to the world's largest church, needless to say, the vatican museums fill up and while admission will be limited during kovid, it will eventually fill up again once the things become normal.

We highly recommend joining our insider tour of the Vatican or our pre-tour. opening of the Vatican tour that enters the Vatican Museum 60 and 90 minutes earlier, respectively.
