While Italian is the language of Italy, English is spoken everywhere in this city. The Euro is used and the climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and warm to hot summers. Bring clothes to layer in. In the winter time, strolling around the city, you may easily warm up &#8211; so wear easy layers!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to pack: comfortable walking shoes, a hat or sunglasses, and a water bottle.&nbsp; Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/packing-list-travel-planner\/id1258042125?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pack This app<\/a> so you don\u2019t forget anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Psst! <\/em>Rome makes our list of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/10-most-dog-friendly-cities-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">10 Most Dog-Friendly cities in the world<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Little Bit of History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-little-bit-of-HIstory.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13372\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-little-bit-of-HIstory.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-little-bit-of-HIstory-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-little-bit-of-HIstory-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know Rome was built on seven hills, known as \u201cthe seven hills of Rome\u201d? Esquiline Hill, Palatine Hill, Aventine Hill, Capitoline Hill, Quirinal Hill, Viminal Hill and Caelian Hill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rome is called the Eternal City because ancient Romans believed that no matter what happened in the world, that Rome would live for eternity. When you travel to Rome and see the ancient sights, you might feel the same way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Things To Do in Rome&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Best-Thing-To-Do-In-Rome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13371\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Best-Thing-To-Do-In-Rome.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Best-Thing-To-Do-In-Rome-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Best-Thing-To-Do-In-Rome-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel to Rome for delicious gelato (avoid the fake colored ones), to throw a penny in the Trevi Fountain, and to learn a whole lot about one of the world\u2019s oldest places. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rome.net\/colosseum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Colosseum<\/a><\/strong> is one of the best places to visit in Rome, and we\u2019re not just saying that because it\u2019s The Colosseum. Visiting the ancient artifacts of the Romans is a surreal experience, and you\u2019ll create memories you will never forget. When you step inside The Colosseum, you\u2019ll feel like a gladiator and transport to another time period. Pro tip: book a tour ahead of time &#8211; otherwise you will waste time waiting in line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steps away from The Colosseum is the heart of ancient Rome: the <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rome.net\/roman-forum\" target=\"_blank\">Roman Forum<\/a><\/strong>. Stroll around the ancient ruins and then make your way around the city. Pass the <strong>Altar of the Fatherland <\/strong>and throw a penny in the <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rome.net\/trevi-fountain\" target=\"_blank\">Trevi Fountain<\/a><\/strong> for good luck &#8211; make one wish and one wish only! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a picture by the <strong>Spanish Steps<\/strong>, visit the <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rome.net\/pantheon\" target=\"_blank\">Pantheon<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rome.net\/palatine-hill\" target=\"_blank\">Palatine Hill<\/a>,<\/strong> the ancient Roman <strong>crypts<\/strong>, and <strong>Hadrian\u2019s Villa<\/strong>. In addition to all of these sights, travel to Rome and add these stops to your list: St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, Piazza Navona, Castel Sant d\u2019Angelo, Villa Borghese, Baths of Caracalla, and Pincio Promenade. Locals say a stroll through bohemian neighborhood, Trastevere, might inspire you to move to the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you are technically entering a new country and a new city, <strong>the Vatican<\/strong> falls within the area. This is one of the best places to visit in Rome &#8211; without a doubt. The history, art, and architecture are just a few of the incredible things you will experience when you visit the <strong>Sistine Chapel<\/strong>, the <strong>Apostolic Palace<\/strong>, and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/world-class-art-galleries-to-visit-before-you-die\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vatican museums<\/a>. Michelangelo\u2019s \u2018The Last Judgement\u2019 is the painting covering the entire ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and it includes over 300 figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you tour the Vatican fountains, check out these <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/5-funniest-latin-inscriptions-in-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\">funny Latin inscriptions<\/a>! Another pro tip: Be sure to book a guided tour of the Vatican ahead of time, do not show up and walk around by yourself. A tour guide is more than worth it &#8211; and you\u2019ll avoid lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our list of the best places to visit in Rome can go on for ages because the Eternal City is covered in ancient artifacts, relics, museums, and more. Around every corner, there is some piece of history. Taking guided tours is a great way to learn more about the city, also, take a ghost tour!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day trips from Rome include visits to Pompeii (we highly recommend), the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, and Tivoli.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where To Eat &amp; Drink in Rome&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Where-To-Eat-And-Drink-In-Rome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Where-To-Eat-And-Drink-In-Rome.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Where-To-Eat-And-Drink-In-Rome-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Where-To-Eat-And-Drink-In-Rome-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re eating at a restaurant, a trattoria, or a pizzeria, you will not be disappointed by any of the pizza, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/12-culinary-bucket-list-experiences-every-foodie-needs-on-their-list\/\" target=\"_blank\">pasta<\/a>, or other Italian dishes you try in Rome. At lunch time, stop into a deli and get any kind of meat and cheese combo on a sandwich.
