ROME, ITALY
Ciao, baby! Rome was not built in a day, and neither should your itinerary– there is so much to see and do!
You might want to opt for that second cappuccino before setting off to climb the Spanish Steps, explore the ancient ruins, and throw your coin in the Trevi fountain. Don’t just admire the Eternal City’s many bridges- cross them to visit the Vatican gardens and eat and drink with the locals in the Trastevere neighborhood.
Make a plan, but leave some time for Rome-ing off the beaten path, as string lit side streets are bound to lead to some fun and adventure- or at least a nice Negroni. Saluti!
