Rome Tips
In my opinion, there is no better place to stay than Trastevere! It feels lively and full of character and is a short walk or uber anywhere else you'd like to go!
Trastevere, Rome
This was the best tiramisu and it is conveniently located right by the Trevi fountain. I got the Carmella flavor and it was amazing!
Two Sizes
Best food I've ever had in my entire life- get the ravioli. Perfect place to grab dinner outside.
Mimì & Cocò
My favorite sight I saw. It's crowded but it is the iconic spot from all the movies I grew up watching. Was beautiful to see in the day and even better at night!
Trevi Fountain
The most stunning church we saw! So grand and golden!
Saint Peter’s Basilica
This was cool to see!
Sistine Chapel
If you want to see another church that is different than St. Peter's and less crowded- this is my second favorite.
Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major
You've gotta see it if your are visiting Rome!
Colosseum
