Your Free Rome Travel Guide

Italy · April–June or September–October

Rome is overwhelming in the best possible way. Every piazza holds a Baroque fountain, every side street reveals a crumbling ruin or a church with a Caravaggio inside. The Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Pantheon are genuinely as good as billed — but Rome also rewards aimless wandering through Trastevere and espresso stops at a bar where the locals go.
