About me
After living in Rome on and off for almost 15 years, I felt there was a great need for an insider’s travel blog entirely focused on Italy’s capital. Being one of the world’s hottest tourist destinations, it’s natural that you are going to find Rome city guides everywhere online.
Rome Actually is different. We live in Rome, we incessantly explore the city, we always discover something new, be it a new restaurant, a new archaeological discovery, a lesser-known neighborhood.
Is it your first trip to Rome and you want to visit the most famous highlights? We tell you what and where they are. Is it the tenth time you are visiting Rome and you want to stay away from the crowds and discover new neighborhoods?
We got you covered. Rome Actually provides the most up-to-date and honest information on what to see and do.
Rome is a beautiful city but it’s also huge and planning a trip may feel overwhelming at times.
