There are plenty of things to do in Rome today. From wonders of the world to the Sistine Chapel, cozy restaurants or well-preserved Roman ruins, explore Rome today for an unforgettable experience. Below you can find exactly what to do in Rome today to have a memorable trip. Roman Forum Get a taste of roman history at the Roman Forum. This well preserved UNESCO site comprises most of Ancient Rome’s most important structures. Government houses, monuments, and temples. Walk past the Arch of Septimius Severus towards the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus and the House of the Vestal Virgins. Tired from all the history and walking around ruins? Relax and refresh yourself with an aperitivo at one of the bars in the area. Colosseum How would you like to tick one of the new 7 wonders of the world off your list? The Colosseum was mainly used for gladiators’ fights around the year 80 AD. It can hold almost 50.000 spectators, making it a massive complex. The Colosseum is considered to be an engineering wonder as well! Top off your day with a glass of Italian wine and some pasta for an authentic experience. Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel If Michelangelo’s La Pieta and the Raphael Rooms are not enough to convince you to visit the Vatican Museum, maybe the Sistine Chapel will do the trick! Michelangelo’s most acclaimed frescos, beautifully decorate this room. The Chapel is famous around the world for its beauty but also because the Pope election ceremony happens there. Saint Peter’s Basilica and the square are also a must, so if you’re looking for things to do today in Rome, reserve it for Vatican city. Trevi Fountain Make a wish! If seeing the most beautiful fountain is what you wished for, you don’t even need to throw coins in it anymore. Oceanus, the god of the sea, and his Tritons will make your jaw drop. Trevi is beautiful day or night but if you want to experience more of the local atmosphere go there after the sunset and explore the local bars and restaurants.
We had a great morning exploring Roma with Simone today. He is great company and a thoroughly knowledgeable guide to the city, particularly good with children. The many hidden open doors of Rome were revealed to us upon this tour. Thank you Simone for sharing your city with us.
Simone tailored the tour to our interests. We found and learned about some wonderful hidden gems all in a relaxed and easy tour. We also came away with some great restaurants off the beaten tourist track. We’d definitely recommend Simone - thanks for a great tour!
My family of four really enjoyed our Hidden Gem tour with Simone. It was the perfect tour to kick start our Rome visit. Simone had so many stories to share - we especially enjoyed hearing about Italian politics, life in Italy and the fun little stories about Rome.
I would recommend Francesca, specifically, if you want to do a food tour in Rome. It was especially helpful for us as first time visitors to Rome. Meeting spot was great, food variety worked really well for us, and it’s exactly what we needed as an introduction to local Roman and Italian food. Francesca‘s knowledge of food and her relationships at the market and different restaurants made the tour feel like it was a lot more than just showing us spots and dishes to order, but a great time learning about history, culture, and the nuances of local food. Conversation was great, she was so easy to be with for three hours, and she even gave us some incredible recommendations after the tour for other spots we could explore. Favorite stops were food tasting in the market, the most amazing pizza, and a spot with fresh suppli. Almost forgot the gelato! Now that I think about it, everything was pretty amazing! Francesca gets a 10 out of 10 from us!
