Arriving a day or two early to Rome
đŽđš Arriving Early in Rome? Hereâs What to Do!
If youâre arriving a day or two early in Rome, here are my top recommendations for things to explore before our tour officially begins. These are independent activities, so rest assured â you wonât be doubling up or retracing any steps during our trip!
đş Getting Around
The best and easiest way to see the sights from our hotel is by Uber or taxi. While public buses are available, they can be tricky to navigate and are known for pickpocketing risks. For peace of mind and convenience, taxis or Uber are your best bet â and theyâre reasonably priced too!
đ Make the Most of Your Time
This might be your only time in the Eternal City, so make it count! Rome is bursting with treasures â from hidden piazzas and ancient ruins to charming cafĂŠs and unforgettable views. Every extra hour here is worth it.
Piazza Venezia, Rome's answer to Times Square, features Italy's grandest monument, affectionately dubbed 'the wedding cake.' Ascend the Michelangelo-designed staircase to Capitoline Hill, where you'll find exquisite museums and a breathtaking view of the Roman Forum
A fortress turned papal refuge, turned museum â Castel Sant'Angelo is nearly 1,900 years old and absolutely worth a visit. You can walk the full circuit of the ramparts, explore atmospheric corridors and spiral staircases, and climb all the way to the rooftop terrace for some of the best panoramic views over Rome and St. Peterâs Basilica.
Fans of Angels and Demons will recognize it instantly â the final scenes were filmed here, and the secret elevated passageway to the Vatican still exists!
Whether you're a history lover, a photographer, or just want to soak up epic views and stories, this is a fantastic place to pass a few hours.
Tucked away on the west bank of the Tiber, Trastevere is Romeâs most atmospheric neighborhoodâa maze of ochre-washed alleyways, shuttered windows, and ivy-draped façades. Here, the pace slows: locals linger over espresso in sun-dappled piazzas, trattorias spill onto cobblestone streets, and the golden light of dusk turns every corner into a postcard.
Unlike the grandiosity of central Rome, Trastevere offers intimacy and texture. Youâll find 12th-century mosaics in Santa Maria in Trastevere, laundry strung between buildings, and the clink of wine glasses from centuries-old enotecas. At night, the neighborhood pulses with energy, yet retains the soul of a lived-in village.
Itâs the Rome of everyday beautyâless polished, more poetic.
Love to Shop?
If shopping is your thing, Rome has some fantastic streets to explore:
Via Cola di Rienzo â A great mix of well-known brands, boutiques, and cafes in the Prati district, close to the Vatican. A local favourite and a little less touristy.
Via del Corso â The main shopping artery in the historic centre. It runs from Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo and is lined with popular high street stores.
Via dei Condotti â For luxury lovers, this is the spot. Just off the Spanish Steps, itâs home to high-end designer boutiques like Gucci, Prada, and Valentino.
Whether you're after souvenirs, stylish fashion, or a bit of window shopping, there's something for every taste and budget!
