Rome<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/romeguide2.jpg\" alt=\"Wide street filled with people and basilica at the end in Rome, Italy\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Explore the Colosseum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the line of tourists can seem endless, the Colosseum is not to be missed. Built in the 1st century CE, it is nearly 2,000 years old and was the largest amphitheater in the entire Roman Empire (it could hold 50,000-80,000 people). During the Roman Empire, it was used for gladiatorial contests and other public events including animal hunts, dramatic plays, executions, and military re-enactments. I really enjoyed seeing it from all the different angles and levels, imagining what it was like in its prime. From the Middle Ages onwards, it was repurposed into workshops, housing, and even a Christian shrine. Admission is 18 EUR for a ticket that offers 24-hour access to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum (though not the Colosseum&#8217;s arena). A two-day ticket with access to all areas (including the arena) is 24 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an in-depth tour with special access to the arena floor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/rome-tours\/colosseum-arena-floor-tour\/?tap_a=129247-e47c98&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book a tour with Walks of Italy<\/a>. They run the best tours in the city and use expert local guides who ensure you have fun and learn a ton. I always take their tours when I&#8217;m in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See the Forum and Palatine Hill<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Roman Forum was the seat of Ancient Rome. It was the center of Roman public life and the place from which Rome administered its empire. Today, the forum is a two-hectare (five-acre) site filled with ruins of countless important buildings amongst which you can wander around. Next to the Forum is Palatine Hill, where the Roman aristocracy lived. Admission to both is 18 EUR or 24 EUR (depending on which combination ticket you purchase). It is also worth getting a guide to give you context and bring the ruins to life. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/rome-tours\/roman-colosseum-tours?tap_a=8959-782171&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book a tour with priority skip-the-line access<\/a> for 91 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Tour Vatican City<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Vatican City is an independent city-state surrounded by the city of Rome. It gained its full independence from Italy in 1929 and is the smallest city-state in the world. Don\u2019t leave Rome without spending some time here to see the home of the Pope, St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and all of the wonderful museums. Give yourself at least half a day here. I spent most of a day and could have easily gone back for more. (Please dress modestly as the Basilica has a strict dress code requiring shoulders and knees to be covered). Tickets are 20 EUR while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/vatican-museums-l2738\/skip-the-line-vatican-museums-sistine-chapel-ticket-t62214\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=Rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">skip the line tickets<\/a> cost around 31 EUR. Keep in mind that tickets sell out weeks in advance (especially in the high season, so you&#8217;ll want to plan this one in advance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a behind-the-scenes tour with VIP access, book the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/vatican-tours\/key-masters-tour-sistine-chapel-vatican-museums\/?tap_a=129248-8883a4&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Key Master&#8217;s Tour of the Vatican<\/a>. You&#8217;ll get to help unlock the chapel in the morning, giving you access to the Vatican before all the other tourists enter. It&#8217;s an amazing, unique opportunity with limited space so be sure to sign up in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Admire the Trevi Fountain<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The 18th-century Trevi Fountain was built at the ending point of the aqueduct that supplied ancient Rome with water from the surrounding countryside. Designed by Roman architect Nicola Salvi and composed largely of stone from a quarry just 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the city, the Baroque fountain is a true emblem of Rome and has been featured in numerous films. It is always crowded, especially at night when couples come for a romantic picture. The best time to see this beautiful fountain is before breakfast when the crowds are thin. Tradition says that if you throw a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain, you&#8217;ll find your way back to Rome. (The thousands of euros thrown into the fountain each day are donated to charity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Eat your way around Trastevere<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This former working class district turned bohemian neighborhood is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/where-to-stay-rome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my favorite areas of the city<\/a> to explore. The winding, cobblestone-lined alleys and buildings covered in ivy are incredibly picturesque, so spend some time strolling around \u2014 you won\u2019t regret it! Fewer tourists go here as compared to the historic center, so it has a much more authentic Roman feel to it.

Their tours are 2.5-3 hours during which you\u2019ll cover about 3 kilometers. Along the way you\u2019ll pass iconic sights like the Pantheon and Castel Sant\u2019Angelo. New Rome Free Tours also give great walking tours and have a few to choose from. Their tours last about two hours, cover all the highlights, and can introduce you to the city on a budget. Just be sure to tip your guide at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a paid guided tour that goes above and beyond, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/rome-tours\/rome-highlights-tour\/?tap_a=129246-c2d614&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walks of Italy<\/a>. They have expert guides and can get you behind the scenes at the city&#8217;s best attractions. They&#8217;re my go-to walking tour company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See the churches<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Rome has a ton of churches so don\u2019t hesitate to wander into them as you pass by to take in the art, sculptures, decorations, and stained glass. The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, dating back to 440 CE, is one of the most impressive and my personal favorite because of the ornate interior. It&#8217;s covered in colorful 5th-century mosaics which display 36 scenes from the Old Testament. Other noteworthy churches include the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, one of the few Gothic churches in Rome and known for its deep blue vaulted ceiling; and San Giovanni in Laterano, the official cathedral of Rome which apparently is home to the heads of St. Peter and St. Paul. It\u2019s also home to the world\u2019s first baptistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Explore Ostia Antica<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruins of the ancient Rome port of Ostia Antica are well worth a visit. About 2,000 years ago, this place was a bustling commercial center and home to 60,000 people. Now you can wander the ruins of the docks, apartments, mansions, baths, and warehouses. You should plan at least a half-day for this trip. Entry is 18 EUR. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/rome-l33\/ancient-ostia-by-train-trip-half-day-tour-from-rome-t10454\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=Rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">City Wonders<\/a> runs half-day tours for around 58 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tour the Pantheon<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pantheon looks today much like it did nearly 2,000 years ago before it became a church (it was originally a temple for the twelve Roman gods ). Hadrian built the current structure over Agrippa&#8217;s earlier temple, and it has been around since 125 CE. As soon as you walk through the heavy bronze doors and across the marble floors, you can look up and marvel at the largest unreinforced dome ever built. It&#8217;s by far one of the best-preserved buildings in the world, as its been in use continuously since its construction. It inspired the Renaissance artist Raphael so much that he asked to be buried there. Admission starts at 15 EUR and includes an audioguide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. See the Spanish Steps<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish Steps, built in the 1720s, are a long and grand staircase in Rome with the Piazza di Spagna at its base and Trinit\u00e0 dei Monti looming at the top. While the Spanish Steps were once a social hub on which you could hang out and people watch, sitting on the steps is no longer allowed. This is part of new preservation measures enacted in 2019, intended to ensure that the monument will be around for generations to come. While you can&#8217;t linger on the steps, visiting this iconic sight is a must, and you can still climb them to get to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Check out the art museums<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy art museums, Rome will not disappoint. There are a ton of great ones here, several of which are some of the highest-ranking in the world. The Galleria Nazionale d\u2019Arte Moderna is a good starting point as it is home to several Italian masterpieces. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/rome-tours\/villa-borghese-gallery-tour?tap_a=8967-c56b03&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Galleria Borghese<\/a> is also excellent as it boasts a garden villa filled with Bernini sculptures and artwork from Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and other masters. Cardinal Scipione Borghese originally commissioned this collection. For something different, check out MAXXI, Rome&#8217;s first national museum devoted entirely to contemporary art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Partake in La Settimana dei Beni Culturali<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a 10-day event that occurs every May. During this cultural heritage week, all governmentally owned and operated landmarks, museums, and archeological sites offer free admission. There aren\u2019t any other deals better than this! Be forewarned, these sites get really crowded so arrive early. In addition to free entry at all the sites, there are concerts, guided tours, and other cultural events throughout the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. See a show<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from beautiful auditorium complexes, Rome often hosts world-class operas and concerts performed by international musicians. The Olympic Stadium is a hotspot for summer concerts and the Auditorium in Viale Pietro de Coubertin and at Parco della Musica holds events year-round. Ticket prices vary but expect to pay at least 35 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Visit Castel Sant\u2019Angelo<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This structure was built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian at the end of the 1st-century. During the course of history, it has also served as a papal residence and a prison. As you may know from <em>The Da Vinci Code<\/em>, there\u2019s a passageway here that runs into the Vatican. It was designed as an escape passage for the Pope in case of an emergency, and it was actually used in 1527 by Pope Clement VII. You can visit the castle and look around the exhibits; there are seven levels in total. The Terrace of the Angel has some amazing city views. Admission is 15 EUR while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/rome-l33\/rome-castel-sant-angelo-skip-the-line-ticket-with-host-t397437\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=Rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Your Guide<\/a> offers reserved tickets starting around 21 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Explore the Catacombs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Rome has three major sets of catacombs that are open to the public \u2013 the Catacombs of Praetextatus, the Catacombs of San Sebastiano, and the Catacombs of San Callisto. Some of the underground crypts are adorned with sculptures and frescoes. San Callisto is the most popular, with a labyrinth of galleries extending about 19 kilometers (12 miles) long and 20 meters deep. It\u2019s located at the southwestern edge of the Parco della Caffarella. There are a number of martyrs buried there, along with sixteen popes. You can also see the crypt of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. I enjoyed learning about the history and seeing the different mosaics and paintings decorating the crypts. Though some may thing it morbid, it\u2019s a fascinating place to visit. Admission to each catacomb is 10 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Take a cooking class<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a foodie, taking a cooking class in Rome is a must. I like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/rome-tours\/rome-cooking-class?tap_a=8399-66697b&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walks of Italy<\/a> as they offer some my favorite cooking classes, including a pasta making class. Their classes are around 3 hours each and are super insightful. You\u2019ll not only have fun but you\u2019ll learn a lot too. Prices vary but expect to spend around 71-81 EUR. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/rome-l33\/rome-pasta-tiramisu-workshop-with-dinner-t179951\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=Rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eat and Walk Italy<\/a> runs tours for around 60 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. See the Roman Appian Way<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This ancient road connects Rome all the way to Brindisi. It was finished in 312 BCE and it&#8217;s so well preserved you can see the ruts in the stones left by chariots. There are many interesting highlights along the way, including the Catacombs of San Callisto and a massive mausoleum for Cecilia Metella, a Roman noblewoman. A lot of people rent a bike to pedal the path, but I think walking is the best way to go. You&#8217;ll be following in the footsteps of the ancient Romans! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Hang out in the Park of the Aqueducts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This large, green park is part of the Roman Appian Way and home to some of the ancient aqueducts that once carried millions of tons of water into the city from the mountains. Although the park is located on the outskirts of the city, it&#8217;s a really great place to go and just hang out with the locals. The park covers nearly 600 acres and there are seven different aqueducts you can see in the area. It\u2019s about a ten-minute walk from the nearest metro station, so it\u2019s pretty easy to get to. Pack a lunch and a bottle of wine, and enjoy a lazy afternoon in the shade of some 2,000-year-old monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Visit Piazza Navona<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most beautiful public spaces in Rome. It\u2019s home to Bernini&#8217;s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, with its stunning statues representing the great rivers of the world. The entire oval-shaped piazza is lined with restaurants, gelaterias, shops, and the Museo di Roma. Nearby, you\u2019ll find Via della Pace, one of the city&#8217;s most photogenic streets. Pull up a chair at a sidewalk cafe and take it all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Wander around Centro Storico<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending an afternoon getting lost in the maze of cobblestone streets in Centro Storico is one of the best free things you can do in Rome. Wind your way through the narrow alleyways and streets, admire the churches filled with Baroque art, pause for a coffee, and do some shopping at the many boutiques. This area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can see some of the earliest Christian churches along with ruins from the ancient Roman structures. This is where you\u2019ll find the Piazza Navona and the Pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Climb Gianicolo<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Gianicolo (or Janiculum) Hill offers the best views over Rome. It&#8217;s a famous spot for young lovers and tourists and from here you can see some of the city&#8217;s best attractions, including Palazzo Venezia and the Spanish Steps. It&#8217;s beautiful at dusk, but if you come in during the day, prepare for the cannon firing at noon (it has been happening daily since 1904). It\u2019s located on the banks of the Tiber River and statue of Garibaldi on horseback stands in the middle of the square. Between the views and the surrounding art, it\u2019s definitely my favorite spot for enjoying an epic view of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Take a food tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the history and culture behind Rome\u2019s cuisine, take a food tour. It\u2019s the best way to eat your way around the city sampling the best eats Rome has to offer while learning what makes the cuisine unique. <a href=\"https:\/\/devourtours.com\/destinations\/italy\/rome\/?tap_a=107749-216baa&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devour Tours<\/a> runs in-depth food tours led by expert local guides that will introduce you to the food culture and its history. If you\u2019re a foodie like me who wants to learn more about the history and culture behind each dish, this tour is for you! Tours from 65 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4778_8c26e2-f7 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4778_7f5327-a0\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_2171ba-59\">How to Stay Safe in Rome<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Rome is a very safe place to backpack and travel \u2014 even if you\u2019re traveling solo and even if you&#8217;re a solo female traveler. However, petty theft can be a problem here so keep your valuables secure and out of sight. Pickpockets are very active around Rome&#8217;s main attractions such as the Colosseum and St. Peter&#8217;s Square so stay vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also not uncommon to get ripped off in this city. You should never buy tickets from unofficial ticket offices. If you are approached by someone selling skip-the-line tickets, ignore them. Also, always make sure your taxi driver is using the meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about getting scammed, you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, the standard safety precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). There are many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web that can give you specific information about a place. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<br>If you experience an emergency, dial 113 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to cut your costs. Here are some of the best ways to save money in Rome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stay outside the center<\/strong> &#8211; If you are open to staying on the outskirts of Rome, you can save a lot of money on accommodation. Food outside of the city is much cheaper as well, and it\u2019s easy to take the train to Rome for your sightseeing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat cheap<\/strong> &#8211; When eating in Rome, opt for sandwich and pizza places as opposed to touristy restaurants. For really good, inexpensive food, visit Trastevere across the river.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook your own meals<\/strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re on a tight budget, skip eating out and cook your own meals. If you have access to a kitchen, you&#8217;ll be able to save a fortune.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a tourist card<\/strong> &#8211; If you are going to see a lot of museums, consider buying one of Rome\u2019s many budget cards such as the Roma Pass, the Omnia Card (for Rome and the Vatican), or the Colosseum Full Experience ticket (which grants access not only to the Colosseum but several other iconic sites). You pay one flat fee for all the attractions and can save a good amount of money in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; Hotel credit cards let you earn points for everyday spending and use those points for accommodations when you travel. There\u2019s nothing better than free place to stay and most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free when you sign up. This can save you a lot. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here\u2019s a post that will help you get started with the basics.<\/a> That way you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pass on the bread<\/strong> &#8211; Some restaurants charge you extra for bread they leave on the table \u2014 but they won\u2019t tell you about it until the bill arrives. Send it back if you don\u2019t want to be tempted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take advantage of First Sunday<\/strong> &#8211; Most of the museums and other sights are free on the first Sunday of every month. This includes the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, and many more of the iconic sights. Though you won\u2019t be able to see it all in one day, you can save a lot by visiting a few major attractions then.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drink the tap water<\/strong> &#8211; When eating out, ask for tap water or you will automatically get expensive bottled water included on your bill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy your wine at supermarkets<\/strong> &#8211; You can buy a great bottle of wine for 6-10 EUR at the store. It\u2019s much cheaper than the bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> to stay with locals who have extra beds or couches for free. It\u2019s the best way to save money while connecting with a local who can share their insider tips and advice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go on a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; This is a great way to learn the history behind the places you are seeing and get your bearings. Rome Free Walking Tour has a few tours that can show you what the city has to offer. Just don\u2019t forget to tip your guide!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a transportation pass<\/strong> &#8211; A 24-hour transportation pass for the metro, bus, and trams is just 7 EUR and a 48-hour pass is 12.50 EUR. If you\u2019re staying longer, you can get a one-week pass for 24 EUR. It&#8217;s the best way to get around the city on a budget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take advantage of free museums<\/strong> &#8211; On the first Sunday of the month, dozens of museums and galleries around the city have free entry, including the Colosseum, the Borghese, and the modern art museum (among many others).

There are three lines and a single journey ticket that\u2019s valid for 100 minutes is 1.50 EUR. You can pick up tickets from local tobacco shops, newsstands, and vending machines at the stations. You can also use contactless payment methods on the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bus can get you into the areas not covered by the metro system, but it&#8217;s a lot slower than the subway due to constant traffic jams. Tickets are 1.50 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase a one-day pass for unlimited travel for 7 EUR, and a two-day pass is 12.50 EUR. A one-week pass costs 24 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to be using the public transportation system a lot, the Roma Pass is your best bet as it includes free access to some museums, discounts on others, and unlimited public transportation. It&#8217;s 32 EUR for 48 hours and 52 EUR for 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxis<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis are very expensive here so I don&#8217;t recommend taking them. The meter starts at 4.50 EUR and then goes up 1.45 EUR per kilometer. Avoid them at all costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ridesharing<\/strong> &#8211; Uber is available in Rome and their prices are usually cheaper than taxis. That said, they\u2019re still not super cheap so skip Uber too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bike rental<\/strong> &#8211; Bicycling around Rome may seem a little scary with the high volume of traffic (and the hills), but there are bike lanes around the city center that make it possible. Bike rentals start around 9-16 EUR per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; The traffic in Rome is absolutely terrible so I would avoid renting a car here. Even if you\u2019re leaving the city, it will still be a nightmare to get around and find parking. If you do want a car to explore the surrounding area, the best rental car deals can be found with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/italy-mainland\/rome\/fco?a_aid=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Cars<\/a>. Prices start as low as 15 EUR per day for a multi-day rental.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4778_978b89-1d alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"when\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4778_4762fb-9d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-92d7936f heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4778_34f94d-dd\">When to Go to Rome<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Peak season is during the summer, from June through August. You&#8217;ll be constantly competing for views at Rome&#8217;s main tourist attractions, but the weather is also fantastic during these months (although sometimes it\u2019s unbearably hot and humid). Temperatures during this season average around 27\u00b0C (81\u00b0F), but in August, temperatures soar above 32\u00b0C (89\u00b0F) per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If visiting in the summer, wake up early to beat the heat and the crowds. There are a lot of outdoor concerts and activities this time of year, like the ones at the Olympic Stadium and Parco della Musica. June 2nd is Festa della Repubblica when the city celebrates the unification of Italy in 1946. The Festa dei Noantri happens in late July in the Trastavere neighborhood with street performers and lots of food and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I recommend visiting during the shoulder season, which is from April-May and late September-October. It&#8217;s slightly less chaotic than the summer months, and the temperature is pleasant, hovering around 18\u00b0C (64\u00b0F). That said, post-COVID, tourism has grown so much that even those times of the year can still be pretty crowded. There\u2019s plenty to do in the city during these times besides sightseeing as well. The Festival del Verde e del Paesaggio (Greenery and Landscape) happens in April with displays, art, live music, and vendors all related to gardening and outdoor spaces. It\u2019s perfect for nature lovers! The Romaeuropa arts festival happens, with events from September through November, and showcases art in all its forms, and the Rome Film Festival is in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter is from November to March. This is the off-season in Rome but the city is never quiet. Although there are fewer travelers around, you can still expect a bustle of activity everywhere you go. Temperatures during this time range from 4-15\u00b0C (39-59\u00b0F).The city celebrates Epiphany in early January and Carnevale in February. Both of these events involve parades, costumes, and performers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Rome Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.

You\u2019ll get suggested itineraries, budgets, even more ways to save money, my favorite restaurants, prices, practical information (i.e. phone numbers, websites, prices, safety advice, etc etc), and cultural tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll give the insider view of Europe that I got from years of traveling and living here!
