Rome Tours & Travel Guide
Rome Attractions & Landmarks Guide
One of the most flocked to cities in Europe, Rome is truly a sight to behold. From the Colosseum, to the Forum, to Circus Maximus, impressive history is everywhere you look. Then there's Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, countless museums, and hundreds of charming side streets with shopping and delicious local food.
It may be impossible to see Rome in a day, (because of course it wasn't built in one), but the best Italy tours will make sure you hit all the sights, and still have plenty of time to enjoy this spectacular city at your own pace. Let Stride help you craft your own personal Roman Holiday!
Ancient History
One cannot visit Rome without exploring at least some of its rich archaeological sites including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and baths of Caracalla. But even if you are strolling around Rome, searching for your next meal, or the street leading to your hotel, you may find yourself walking down a road to find a historical spot that isn’t in your guidebook. The sheer amount of history in Rome can be overwhelming. A guided tour can help you feel the sheer magnitude of this significant city.
Dine the Night Away
One major highlight on any tour of Italy, especially Rome, is the food. Italian food is all about fresh ingredients, and eating is not just about becoming full -- enjoying food, and spending time with family and friends over a meal is an important part of each day in Italy.
Dinners in Rome are held late at night, sometimes beginning as late as 9pm, and can last for several hours. When you need a break, the obvious solution to go relax in an outdoor cafe, sipping wine or having a delectable Italian coffee.
When you meet someone new in Rome, expect them to invite you over for a meal. You will soon find yourself eating delectable Roman-style artichokes that melt in the mouth, or handmade pasta, drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with sharp Pecorino Romano cheese and fresh black pepper. Take all of this in stride, and don’t be shy - help yourself to the bottle of red wine on the table!
Embrace Piazza Life
Piazza’s in Rome and throughout Italy, are designed as gathering places. They are a perfect spot for people watching. Find your way to the Trevi Fountain or Spanish Steps for a vibrant and fun local experience.
If you want to stray away from the tourist hot spots, try visiting a smaller Piazza in a residential area. Strike up a conversation with any of the locals, and you may find yourself making a whole set of close friends.
Museums Worth Waiting in Line For
Rome’s museums offer a window into the people who walked its roads decades ago. You’ll also find modern and contemporary art museums, if you need a break from the countless artifacts and Renaissance grandeur that Rome is overflowing with. If you are set on visiting specific museums, it’s best to book tickets in advance or schedule a tour to arrange the visits for you, to avoid the crowds and lines.
There are around 70 museums in Rome, and they vary immensely in what they have to offer. With so much else to see, do, and eat in Rome, it’s likely that you’ll barely scratch the surface on your Rome trip. To save you time, here is a list of the top five most popular museums in Rome:
- The Vatican Museum - Though technically not in Rome, this museum is a part of the Vatican, and home to the Sistene Chapel, amongst other treasures.
