1 day itinerary: alternative ideas


The Eternal City has so many attractions, a month would not be enough! Countless museums, many of which, however,
require at least 3/4 hours to visit. Among these, the Capitoline Museums (3.00pm), Castel Sant'Angelo (3.00pm)
and the Baths of Caracalla (8.00am). A visit to the Imperial Forums (4.00) is also not to be missed.

And then there is Vatican City, with St. Peter's Basilica (free / dome 10.00) and the Vatican Museums (17.00), but at
least an entire day should be dedicated to the complex! Do not miss the other Papal Basilicas: the Basilica of Santa
Maria Maggiore (3.00), the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano (free) and the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura (free).

If you're traveling with your family, don't miss Villa Borghese, a huge city park north of the center where there is also
the zoo (free / Galleria Borghese 1.00pm / Bioparco di Roma 4.00pm) or the Circus Maximus with the Mouth of Truth. For a
few "different" and fun hours, we also recommend Explora, the children's museum in Rome (from 7.00).

How to get
The best solutions to reach the city and the centre

Mobility in Rome is a long-standing problem.


The condition of the road surface, the size of the city, the traffic, all combine to make travel
difficult, especially if you decide to rent a car, a choice we advise against. In this article we will try
to provide you with useful information to choose the best way to get around the city on
foot, by public transport or by car.
Here are all our tips on how to get around Rome!

How to move
Info and advice on the best means of transport to get around the city

Recommended solutions and means on foot


and bike sharing in the center, metro, tourist bus

Solutions and means not recommended cars,


buses, trams, motorcycles, taxis

Transport card and public transport passes: which one to choose?


So if you stay in Rome for a weekend, the best solution is the Omnia Card, lasting 3 days, with
free transport and free admission to various attractions in the city. If you stay there for at least 7 days,
we advise you to purchase the classic season ticket for public transport, i.e. the integrated weekly CIS
card (24.00). However, you also have the Roma24H (7.00), Roma48H (12.50) and Roma72H (18.00)
tickets available, which only include the use of public transport. Especially for a weekend, the Omnia
Card remains the best solution for the services it offers: free transport on the entire network,
entrance to St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum and further discounts. The
Card also includes the tourist bus, ideal for getting used to the city and enjoying a panoramic ride.
Alternatively, you can also opt for the Roma Pass, which always includes free use of public transport,
but allows free admission to only two attractions of your choice. More info on the official website.

What to eat
Typical dishes, street food and specialties to taste absolutely

When one thinks of Rome, monuments and historic buildings, shopping streets and artists'
workshops immediately come to mind. But the capital also offers a respectable culinary culture ,
with traditional dishes that will make you lick your chops! Let's find out together the 11 dishes that a
Roman could never give up!

1 | Spaghetti Carbonara
Roman and Lazio gastronomy in general has a great tradition with
regard to first courses. One of the most loved and exported specialties in
Italy and in the world is the "Carbonara".
Rigorously prepared with popular ingredients and with an intense flavour,
according to the Romans, Carbonara is one of the most "abused"
dishes, as it is offered in variations that have nothing to do with tradition. The
most used types of pasta are spaghetti or rigatoni, accompanied by eggs,
guanciale and pecorino romano. Absolutely avoid bacon and any
kind of sautéed with onion or garlic.

Recommended at: lunch

Average cost: 12.00

Main ingredients: bacon, pecorino cheese, egg

2 | Bucatini alla Gricia / Amatriciana


The only ingredients for the sauce: bacon of Abruzzo origin and
pecorino romano. When they decided to add tomato in
Amatrice, the better known pasta all'amatriciana was born.

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

Average cost: 12.00

Main ingredients: bacon, pepper, pecorino cheese (tomato


in the Amatriciana)

3 | Roman Google
tripe
Not a very easy to digest dish. Tripe is made up of different
parts of bovine stomach and in the Roman recipe it is cooked
in gravy with the addition of a few mint leaves.

Recommended at: lunch

Average cost: 18.00

Main ingredients: tripe, tomato sauce, mint

4 | Spaghetti cheese and pepper


It might seem like the easiest pasta in the world to prepare,
but it's not like that: getting a good creaming using only
pecorino and pepper is really
an art.

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

Average cost: 10.00

Main ingredients: pecorino cheese and pepper

5 | Lamb chops
The lamb is the protagonist of every holiday on the Roman table,
regardless of the season in which it is celebrated.
The scottadito recipe calls for quick grilling, which makes it crunchy on
the outside and soft on the inside, and etiquette dictates that it be eaten
strictly with your hands!

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

Average cost: 18.00

Main ingredients: lamb

6 | Artichokes alla giudia / alla romana
Artichokes are a flowering vegetable particularly loved in Rome, it is no
coincidence that two typical recipes are dedicated to them: "carciofi alla giudia" and
"carciofi alla romana". As for the first variant, it is a traditional Jewish dish
based on artichokes of the violet type, which are placed in boiling oil whole
and left to fry to obtain a crunchy result on the outside and soft on the inside.
The "Roman" variant

instead it is based on Romanesco variety artichoke and vice versa


it is stewed and seasoned with a mixture of parsley, mint, garlic, salt
and pepper.

Recommended at: lunch/snack

Average cost: 7.00

Main ingredients: artichokes of the violet type (alla giudia) or


romanesco (alla romana)

7 | Husband
It is a typical Lazio sweet baked in the oven, garnished with fresh whipped
cream. Engaged couples used to give it to their fiancés during lent.

Recommended for: breakfast/snack

Average cost: 3.50

Main ingredients: flour, milk, sugar, eggs, cream

8 | Saltimbocca alla Romana


Well-beaten slices of veal, stuffed with ham
cooked and sage and held closed with a toothpick. From

strictly fry in butter!

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

9 | Oxtail
Veal tail cooked slowly in the sauce, so as to make it so soft that
the meat must come off
from the bone without the need to use a knife. Definitely the least touristy
and most authentic dish of Roman cuisine!

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

Average cost: 18.00

Main ingredients: veal tail, gravy

10 | Porchetta alla Romana


Another street food specialty, this time we're talking about porchetta, an
explosion of taste typical not only of Rome but of all of Central Italy in
general. You can eat it on a plate or in a sandwich (usually the homemade
bread of Lariano is preferred). The rule says that the cut of the porchetta
must be done roughly by hand, the rosemary must never be missing and
above all the fat parts must not be discarded. One of the most famous
variants is the Porchetta di Ariccia (a specialty originally from the municipality
of the same name in the Province of Rome), which has obtained recognition
as a protected geographical indication (PGI).

Recommended for: lunch/dinner

Average cost: 2.50 for a sandwich

Main ingredients: various parts of the pig (loin and shoulder),


rosemary, pepper and other flavourings

11 | Itchy
An excellent digestive and a fantastic refresher on sultry summer
afternoons: the grattachecca is nothing more than a glass of
freshly crushed ice flavored with fruit syrup. It will make you a kid
again in an instant.

Recommended for: snack

Average cost: 2.00

Main ingredients: crushed ice, fruit syrup

Excursions in the surroundings


The ideal destinations for day trips and tours

Queen of an empire that dominated the world, today the capital of Italy and seat of the tiny state
of the Vatican, Rome is a wonderful city, certainly among the most beautiful in the world. Even
today it retains its immense history and the hand of the artists who made it eternal, thanks to the
many things to see such as the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Basilica and the
Vatican Museums. But even the surroundings of Rome certainly deserve one
visit. Here are the best day trips and excursions to do outside of Rome.
