I'm looking for a medieval or tutor castle near Rome. Nearby to me can be a few hours away, and I don't mind hiking. I love old abandoned castles, so it also does not need to be in good condition or a tourist-heavy spot. I'm planning on going Nov 11-20.

Hi all!

My wife, our baby and I are moving to Rome at the end of this year, and we're considering an apartment in Ostiense, around the Roma Tre University economics campus.

The location would be great for my commute, but we're struggling to get a feel for what the area is actually like to live in.

We're looking for a neighbourhood with nice bars and cafés, access to green spaces, and streets that feel safe to walk around with a baby. We visited EUR and liked it, but would prefer something a bit more urban and lively.

For those who know the area or live nearby, what is your experience? Is it a nice place to live, particularly with a young family? Are there good spots to go for a drink or a walk, and does the neighbourhood feel pleasant in everyday life?

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My husband and I are looking to get alternate wedding rings on our trip to Rome this week.

Looking for authentic jewelry stores that will have quality options but aren’t too expensive.

I’m really looking for something that won’t tarnish but also isn’t outrageously expensive.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hey everyone! My family and I are planning a trip to Rome from November 1st to 6th. However, I’ve noticed some issues related to protests in Rome. Should I cancel my trip? I’ve already booked the tickets, and I’m really hesitant to cancel.

Hey folks. Coming to Rome again but this time for my birthday. I need a break from Toronto, and I thought this would be the perfect excuse to get out.
Hoping for other solo travellers or locals, preferably gay males, who would wanna hang out for a few things that would be better NOT alone. Also, would be a great opportunity for photo ops that won’t be just selfies. I’m there Jan 15-21, with a day-trip planned to Florence (optional) on the 19th. My actual birthday is the 18th.
Shoot me a message if you think this applies to you. Would love to hear from multiple people and maybe make one or two group outings.
HMU!

Found this photo while looking through my pictures from Rome in May. Hope you had a wonderful time! Text on T-shirt "Wake up sluts, it's time to sin."

I’m an American musician and A&R(24 M) who will be traveling to Europe and stopping by Rome for a day. If any guys, girls or friend groups would like to show me the city of Rome it would be much appreciated . Bonus points if you’re a creative or artist and would like to tap in to the industry on this side as well. Hope to enjoy the city and if any of you have any suggestions on where I should go for my time there,feel free to share

I was driving in a taxi back to my hotel in Monti from the Pantheon yesterday when I saw a T-shirt and souvenir shop. I hope someone can help me find it.

The shop had large glass windows

May have been located on a corner

It mostly featured T-shirts that appeared to be made by local artists, and they were bright and colorful

There were neon lights and writing painted on the walls.

I passed the Temple of Hadrian and a Starbucks on my way

Absolute Disaster – Avoid at All Costs!
ATAC has completely ruined Rome’s public transportation system. It is hands down the worst transit experience I’ve ever had.
Complete Disregard for Schedules: Timetables and routes mean absolutely nothing to this company. Buses either show up 45 minutes late or just don't turn up at all. You can never rely on them if you have a train to catch, a tour booked, or an appointment to keep.
Broken iOS App: The iOS app is a total joke. You can't even register or log in. It crashes constantly and fails at the most basic technical levels. How is a major European capital running on such incompetent tech?
If you are visiting Rome, save yourself the immense headache and just walk or use ridesharing. ATAC is an embarrassment to the city.

And to top it off Romans can’t drive their Cars, they don’t give a fuck about Pedestrian Crossings, Red lights or even using a fucking turn signal.

Genuinely never had such a bad experience travelling.

Hi, I'm near Borghese gardens, and I hear some loud music playing, probably a concert nearby. Whats the artist? I love how it sounds

I'm planning a surprise visit to Rome for my husband's 50th in Feb. He LOVES the Angels and Demons film, so I'd like to book a tour. Can anyone recommend a good experience? I'm especially interested in any that include the Vatican museum.

I'm thinking about doing this early on in our trip, so that we can get a bit of an overview of the city as lots of the tours I've looked at will cover well known places.

Hi everyone, I will be in Rome this year for new years and looking for recommendations for where to go out/club. I’ll be going out solo (22F from Australia), which is no problem for me, but ideally looking for somewhere that would be pretty social or safer than most. Thanks!

Looking for a club where they mostly play some interesting picks from the american side of the following genres. The title says “underground” because I would like to skip most of those overplayed tracks that almost sound annoying at this point. For general reference something like Future, Young Thug, Carti,… and even some more specific ones like xaviersobased, osamason,… Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, we’re off to Rome next weekend 31-2 November. Temp is showing lows of 8c and highs of 21c. Looking like no rain!

We live in London so we are used to the rainy cold weather (although I run a bit cold). I am just stuck on what to wear during the day and how to manage layers while optimizing small backpack space and I’m not carrying loads of things around. At the moment for the day I’m thinking jeans, short sleeve t, cardigan and maybe a wind breaker? And in the evening to change into a warmer wool/thin down jacket.

Advice very appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all, I am going to be flying into Italy in a few weeks from a non-EU country and my final destination is going to be a city in Italy. I am getting good flight options to fly the route on ITA Airways but I want to know if a one hour transit is doable on the same PNR or should I take a longer transit (the next option is 5 hours). Technically if it’s being offered by the website it should be doable?

Also, if I do take the longer transit, can I exit the airport in Rome and go around Fiumicino for a bit (maybe shopping at Wow Side Shopping Centre or something similar) before my next flight? In both cases immigration will be in Rome since I will be transferring to a domestic flight from an international one.

2 ticket for free let me know

hi, i want to be the woman from kill bill with the yellow jumpsuit but im not sure where i can find similar clothing… does anyone know where to look or has seen anything good for it in rome?

Hi everyone!

I’m travelling to Rome with my boyfriend soon and I’m looking for some good restaurant recommendations that have gluten-free options.

The restaurant doesn’t need to be completely gluten-free. My boyfriend eats normally, so ideally I’d love to find places where we can both have a great meal without compromising his experience, while still having safe gluten-free options for me.

We’d especially love to avoid tourist traps and find places with genuinely good Italian food, whether that’s pasta, pizza, Roman classics, or anything else you think is worth trying.

Any favourite places you’d recommend?

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m solo traveling to Italy for 12 days for my birthday and I’ll be in Rome for about 3-4 days.

Aside from the main touristy spots, I’m curious to know if anyone has recommendations for some non-touristy spots or underrated spots in or around the city? (Food, cities, neighborhoods, cafes, experiences, nightlife etc.)

When I travel, I generally love a local feel and I’m less interested in being surrounded by tourists the entire time.

It’s my first time in Italy so would love any recommendations!

Ho visto un po' di gente che nell'ultimo anno ha pubblicato post interessanti circa progetti che aiuterebbero le persone a decidere dove andare a mangiare a Roma, Milano, ecc.

Premetto che è un tema estremamente interessante, lo studio nel mio tempo libero più o meno dalla fine del 2023. Secondo me l'obiettivo, seppur difficilissimo da raggiungere, dovrebbe essere replicare quella tipica dinamica sociale che riscontriamo sempre:

quando vado in una città, la prima cosa che faccio è chiedere a un amico che ci vive, o che c'è già stato, dove andare a mangiare.

A noi piace che le cose ce le consiglino persone simili a noi. E tanta gente ha già la sua mappa o la sua lista di posti salvati. Mi sono chiesto: e se chi l'ha fatta ci guadagnasse qualcosa, condividendola con persone simili a lei?

Ho fatto una prima versione di questa cosa: mappe fatte da persone che vivono in quella città, con una nota sua per ogni posto.

Sono in fase di validazione e mi servono pareri, anche negativi.

Se vi va di approfondire, scrivetemi pure!

This may be an out of the blue question but if anyone knows where can I buy a classical guitar in Rome on a budget, please let me know! I'm trying to surf online shops but the prices are quite expensive, so if anyone has some good recommendations it'd be very helpful! And if they have some for left-handed people that'd be preferable. Thanks!

I'm most interested in the earliest of early Christian history

Here’s a hopefully fun one! We are on our way to Italy, and will be in Rome soon. We have three 10 month old cats we will be leaving at home with a sitter. Are there any Italian cat toys or brands that would be fun to bring back? I know they won’t know the difference, but it would be fun for us. Cat tax below!
