START PLANNINGRome is more than just a city of ancient ruins and iconic landmarks. It’s a place that rewards getting lost in its streets. Its magic isn’t only in the grandeur of the Colosseum or the beauty of the Trevi Fountain, but in the little moments in between. It’s about a morning espresso at a corner café, the sound of footsteps along cobblestone streets. And is about the warm afternoon light falling over centuries-old buildings. It’s about long lunches in hidden trattorias, wandering through charming piazzas, or watching the city come alive as the sun sets behind its terracotta rooftops. You experience Rome best not just through what you see, but through the moments you take the time to savour.
