Introduction & Vibe
Step onto Rome's cobblestone streets and you're hit with an incredible wave of history. It's a city that feels like a living museum, where ancient ruins casually sit next to bustling cafes. The vibe is a beautiful, chaotic mix of past and present, and it's completely intoxicating.
Why Visit?
Rome is a city you have to experience at least once. Its history is mind-blowing; you can literally walk through thousands of years of it in a single afternoon, from the Colosseum to the Roman Forum. But it's not just about the old stuff. The food scene is a huge reason to visit. This isn't just about pasta; it's about the tradition behind dishes like cacio e pepe and carbonara, made with simple, high-quality ingredients. Plus, there's a magic to wandering through neighborhoods like Trastevere, getting lost in its ivy-covered lanes, and stumbling upon a hidden piazza. It’s a city that invites you to slow down and soak it all in.

Planning your trip to Rome? Using the links below helps support this site at no extra cost to you. I've only placed products here that I actually use and trust myself. Thank you for your support 🫶!
Trusted Swiss VPN I use every single day as a nomad. It lets me appear in other countries to access region‑locked services (often financial), works in censored regions, and hides your IP from websites, advertisers, and governments — because what you do online is your business.
One of the only 3rd party booking tools that I actually trust. Great for booking flights, hotels, and car rentals. Often times I use this specifically to get the extra info it has about accommodations like square feet/meters.
My go-to e-sim when I am traveling. It's always got a competitive price and it has some nice extra features like a built-in VPN, ad-blocker, and web protection.
Travel medical insurance designed for digital nomads and long-term travelers. Simple and flexible. I myself haven't had to file and claims through them yet though I know others who have and the process has been straight forward for them and they got properly covered.
