I would love ❤️ to visit Rome and see the colosseum…my friend said she stays in Monti and it’s absolutely beautiful…but watching your vlog as gave me inspiration to look today on the internet regarding flights and hotels….thank you for sharing this amazing place
🎉
why do you need a passport to enter the Vatican?
You do not need your passport to go to Vatican city, we were just there
Just came back to let you know this video was really helpful to me. Thank you❤. I also laid my hands on Clarke Wigg’s Rome travel guide, a priceless book that gave me the secrets of having the best Rome vacations. I’ll recommend that to everyone as well.
Btw this video is the best start for anyone planning to go to Rome
Awesome video!
Okay it has been brought to our attention that there was an error regarding the passport for the Vatican. No you do not need it! My apologies for the confusion.
WOW
Unfortunately when in Rome I'm too busy fighting off pickpockets to do anything else.
Amorrrreee❤
Rome is truly an amazing city to explore. The city itself is a museum. Spent 6 nights 2 weeks ago and needed probably 2 more days. A few comments on my experience:
The food is actually lackluster so don't be overtly excited. Not many options besides puzza and pasta. The pasta is definitely better than pizza an stick to anything that has truffle. Purchase as many tour guides as you can, it will make your exploration so much more enjoyable and educational. Be prepared for insane crowds… like insane. If crowds bother you don't even think of going to the Vatican, my worst experience of our trip. There is nowhere to sit in the city besides at a restaurant. Currently at Florence which is a much 'nicer ' city but absolutely jam packed with American students so it feels like a bit life a student town. The food is so much better here though and there are many more food options which Rome doesn't offer. The history of Rome and setting the rings in person is still an unbelievable experience and will definitely be reworking in a few years time to enjoy it again.

Anyone know the price of the bullet train to Florence or Naples that he suggested? Like one way or round trip?
The panthéon was founded by Agrippa in -27.
When the best time to visit Rome thks
Se Roma è caduta, sai che Roma non è libera, Roma non è dei Romani, è degli antiromani che hanno rubato Roma ai Romani, ecco perché Roma non è più Pagana/Romana, è cattolica/cristiana, i nemici dei Romani/Pagani.
Over the years, I've been to Rome a dozen times for work. Ive been to many other European hot spot cities as well. Rome is the only place I would spend my own money to go back to.
The Metro system there is fantastic and super easy to figure out. I always stayed within a few blocks of El Centro – where the main Metro Hub is. From there, you can go anywhere easily and the hotels are fine and not as expensive as it is within walking distance of the historic district.
For beach lovers take the Metro to Osteo Lido, its the last Metro train stop going west. Get off and walk half a mile to the black sand beach. Mind your feet. That black sand is super hot, even on just a mildly warm sunny day. (ask me how I know).
There are some great restaurants, but they can be pricey. I had the best steak meal of my life there, (cant remember the name of the restaurant tho). For the budget minded, or if you're pressed for time, the food at the Pizza Rustica places is great and a lot less expensive than the cafes and restaurants – a LOT less expensive! I love me some Pizza Rustica!
For those craving to sit at a table on the sidewalk and have a refreshment while people watching – The same coffee sitting at a sidewalk table will cost twice what it does while standing. IMO, its worth it though. Dont expect the waiter to come check on you. He won't. If you need him, or her, just wave them over.
My personal favorite handout is Piazza Novona at dusk. Not overly crowded like Trevi is and plenty of tables around to sit at, rest your feet, and have a coffee or a beer.
Did u use turist pass? If YES can u add a link..What about also Vatican turist pass?
Please learn the proper pronunciation of the sites you describe.
If you have experience with motor bikes mopeding around Rome is a blast.
I'll be honest, Rome may look nice, but Rome is the worst European city in which to live in.
It's the only capital city in Europe that has problems with crime, traffic, pollution, corruption, poverty, and inequality. You won’t find those problems anywhere else in Europe.
Great video, I wish there was a sure way to make money while traveling or on vacation without lifting a finger.
I never had to get my passport checked at the Vatican?.
Thank God’s
I believe you need the passport to see the museums or the sistine chapel.
We are going to Rome in a few weeks. Thanks for the video.
Well done! We can’t wait to go back. By the way, it is NOT crazy expensive to get there (we flew round trip from Toronto for $350 in 2018) or stay there. I did 10 days ALL in for $2,000. EVERYTHING! Oh, that 2k included Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Riomaggiore and Venice. GO! (Please learn the correct pronunciation of the places).
Very good country I 💕 Italy I 💕 Bangladesh
😅😊توبوا إلى الله لأن بالصلاح والاسلام تحيا النفوس والقلوب repent to Allah in Islam because by Islam live the hearts and souls
leave. thats the best thing to do
😂
I've been to Rome a few times but not visited Centro Stonco and Trastevere although I have visited all of the rest in the video
The best thing to do is to stay away from Rome and Italy, one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I know, because I use to live there.
You DO NOT need a passport to enter the Vatican City and you should avoid carrying it on a sightseeing tour as there are pickpockets in the most touristy areas. Leave it in the hotel safe.
"There's gonna be plenty of different Italian foods (in Rome)"… No s**t, Sherlock!
