Must See in Rome

The truth about Rome is you don’t NEED to see anything.  Simply, wandering the streets is really what it’s all about! Having no plan, is always where I find my happiness in Italy.  Don’t just take my word for it, try it.  Even after visiting Rome multiple times, I would still go back, as there is just something about this city.  If you are looking for the ‘must see’ tourist spots, here are the spots that every list about Rome is going to mention:

SEE

Sistine Chapel / Vatican museum 

Pantheon 

Palatine Hill

The Colosseum

Roman forum 

Spanish steps 

Trevi Fountain 

St. Peters Basilica

The Tiber

 EXPERIENCE

Vespa – ride one, rent one, either way this have been one of my favorite things to do here. 

Trastevere – such a beautiful magical area

Gelato 

Pizza

Pasta

The Tiber as dusk - Its almost as if when Rome was built they thought about how good the colors would look at dusk.

Drink house wine, while dining al fresco

Buy fresh produce and groceries at the market

Sit on a rooftop (if you can find an Airbnb with one, its magical) and relax as the sun goes down over the eternal city.

Enjoy an espresso and maybe even a sfogliatelle or two
