Hi all,

I'll be traveling to Rome next week (Thursday to Sunday)

I live in London where people already began wearing winter coats.

When I check the weather in Rome, it says sunny and it'll be ranging from 19C° to 21C°

How do locals dressed in this weather?

Thank you!

Flying in and out of Rome in early July, Week 2 have a horse riding holiday in Tuscany and have non refundable accommodation booked in Florence for 3 days prior in week 1.

I have refundable hotel booked in Rome for first 4 days but now have cold feet. My teen is autistic and it was a stretch (but as a history geek was worth it and has to be done sometime). Plus other health problems which cause migraine and fatigue.

Looking for suggestions without too much travelling. Will be using train don’t want to hire a car.

This is a post A level exam holiday treat so drop and flop is also an option, with say a spa some w here scenic.

Or stay outskirts of Rome with optional trips in if easy transport?

Hello! I am coming to Rome with my school in a month and I was wondering if I could have any suggestions for some restaurants/local taverns. Last time I went to Rome my parents dragged me in all the tourist traps and I was quite disappointed by the food I ate, even though us greeks and you Italians share so many culinary similarities.

Any ways any suggestion, from coffe to dinner, would be really helpful thanks!

E.g I know you probably hear about this a lot, but when I searched about places I only got tips on how to determine if the restaurant is a tourist trap. I would like some names possibly so I can go and try with my friends.

I moved to Rome 8 months ago and haven’t started loving it yet. I work full time and only have the evenings and weekend to live the city, but I’ve found it quite unwelcoming. My team at work is very small and, outside of work, I haven’t had the chance to meet that many people nor build friendships. The city is massive and I find it hard to navigate, I end up not going out at night a lot because in some areas I don’t feel safe and I’m generally stressed about how I’ll get home considering public transport is incredibly unreliable. I’m considering moving to Ostia. The size of the city seems much more manageable to me and I love the idea of being close to the beach. But I’m a bit scared of the fact that it won’t have as much cultural offer and interesting events as Rome does.

Anyone with advice given my situation? Or any 25-30yos in Ostia who can give me some insight on how life there is?

I had one and enjoyed it very much, but I don't know if it was the only way traditional sweet maritozzi are made: a very soft, almost brioche-like bread, cut open and filled with whipped cream? Should I be looking for other versions?

I got personalized monthly pass at the Termini ticket office for €35. They charged my card on October 26 but didn’t tell me the pass would be valid in November (initially I thought it would expire on Nov 1st but it’s the opposite).

I’m paranoid so I tap the card every time I get on the bus (does it matter?) but today I accidentally tapped it against the Pay&Go machine. And my credit card that I used for purchasing the pass got charged €1.64. Which means it’s attached to the pass.

Will I get charged €35 every month? I’m only in Rome until the 10th so that would have been unfortunate.

Hello, I’ve found some cheap flights to Rome for a long weekend in December and was looking to go with my partner and our 1 year old son. Given he’s a little bit of a menace and not quite walking yet- much of what we were planning to do/ see is outside and I’ve seen from posts on here that the jubilee prep had lots closed off. Would people reccomend going anyway? And is a trip with a very excitable non walker a stupid idea?

Hi, I’m here on a study program and I was getting off a bus my class had taken for a field trip and my bag was missing. Turns out a guy had gotten into the bus compartment and stolen my bag near Trilussa square. I had quite some valuable things, one being a very expensive gold necklace. The bus company was of no help and I have no insurance. Im not sure what to do. Realistically the bag is probably long gone. But I’m holding out a little hope. Maybe I could put up posters? Im thinking maybe also checking local pawn shops. Also maybe checking out the Sunday market at porta portese. It’s just hard for me to tell what the thief could have done with the necklace and what his thought process would be. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Would greatly appreciate any food and coffee recommendations near the main attractions in Rome.

Me and my best friend are going to Rome next week and as we are from an homophobic country, wanted to go to gay club or a bar. Can anyone suggest good, safe places to go?

Subway and bus services stop aound 12.00pm. Any other alternatives other than cab and uber?

Hey everyone! We’re looking to be at Fiumicino by 6.15AM on Nov 4 & our accomodation is on Via Tiburtina.

What would be the best way to get there?

Our max budget is €55, so we were thinking of taking a taxi, but we’re vary of “taxi hyenas” who prey on tourists and charge them 2-3-4x of the official prices (this happens where we come from, don’t know if it’s a thing here).

Thank you for your help!

Two Sundays ago (10/20) we were riding the Metro to go see the Pope and there was a singer who rhymed “Gesù” with “Tiramisu”. My buddies and I could not stop singing his song after we got off, but I was too hungover to get his Spotify info which I remember him having a QR code out for.

Did anybody catch this mystery singer’s Spotify?

Hi all,

I live in California where there are a LOT of water restrictions (including things like "low flow" shower heads limiting water flow to less than 2.0 gallons / 7.5 liters per minute, etc.) and I noticed when I was in Rome that in addition to things like Nasone on the streets running 24/7, water pressure and shower heads were (relatively) luxurious in comparison to here. So, it got me thinking: Where does Rome get its freshwater from and how much does that water cost to a consumer?

I cannot find a straight answer anywhere online so I wanted to try posting in this sub to see if anyone knows. Husband and I are spending a week traveling in Italy and our flight home from FCO to the states has a departure time of 6 am. Our last destination in Italy is over 5 hours away by train. Our plan is to take the latest train we can to get to FCO around midnight and nap in the entrance area of the airport until security opens. Not ideal, but better than having to pay for another hotel. My worry is that we wont be able to get into the airport that late/early. I've seen some info online about the airport closing for cleaning during the night, but it wasn't clear if it was just the terminals or if the doors to the airport would literally be locked. Does anyone know if we would be able to enter the airport around midnight?

struggling to find an open tobacco store here in rome on 1 nov. walked around to a few but they were all closed. are they all closed today and i should try tomorrow or did i just get unlucky with the ones nearby.

thanks

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this company. I am struggling to find any reviews. If not, are there any private transfer companies you would recommend?

Hi! I wanted to buy tickes for the Borghese Gallery, but most are already sold out, but I have a question: what means "Intero Speciale"? Because I wanted to buy that ticket, but I don't know if I'm making a mistake or not. https://www.tosc.it/en/event/galleria-borghese-galleria-borghese-19341803/
