1. Book Tickets in Advance
   
   • Be sure to get tickets for popular attractions like the Colosseum and the Vatican in advance. Otherwise, prices may be higher, and you risk not finding availability.

1. St. Peter’s Basilica
   
   • No ticket is needed to enter St. Peter’s Basilica, but expect a long line. It’s absolutely worth the wait, with beautiful architecture and famous artworks like Michelangelo’s Pietà. If you enjoy history and architecture, it’s a must-see!

1. How to Dress
   
   • You’ll be walking a lot, so wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the season. If you’re visiting in the summer, remember to bring something to cover your shoulders and legs when visiting the Vatican and other churches, as modest attire is required.

1. Getting Around
   
   • Avoid driving. Buses are easy to use, and tickets can be bought at train stations. You can also rent an electric scooter, which we did—it was fun and convenient!

Rome’s food scene is truly unforgettable. From cozy trattorias to bustling street vendors, the flavours are vibrant, fresh, and diverse. Everything is made with high-quality, local ingredients, and each dish feels like a celebration of Italian culture.

 Start with the basics: pizza and pasta. Roman pizza is thin and crispy, often topped simply with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Cacio e pepe, a pasta made with pecorino cheese and black pepper, is a local favorite that’s creamy, savory, and surprisingly simple. Don’t miss carbonara either—Romans make it with eggs, cheese, and guanciale (cured pork cheek), giving it a rich, authentic flavour.
