Things to Do and Places to Eat

We are SO excited for you all to visit our favourite city in the whole wide world and so we thought we would help you along your way with a comprehensive guide of what to do and where and what to eat!


If you have ANY more questions about Rome, just reach out to either of us and we will help in any way that we can!

Piazza di Spagna

All we can say is wow! You must go!


Walk up the Spanish Steps to get the most beautiful view of Rome and after your long walk up those steps, you deserve an Aperol at Il Palazzetto!

Vatican Museums

Have you even been to Rome if you haven't seen the Sistine Chapel? Guys, it is worth the hype!


If you have a few extra hours, we would thoroughly recommend getting a ticket to the Vatican Museums and even the gardens if it's a sunny day! While you're there, definitely also see St. Peter's!

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, one of the most breathtaking things to do in Rome is marvel at the immensity of Castel Sant'Angelo from the bridge just in front of it!


For any opera lovers, this is where Tosca jumps to her death at the end of the opera! How very dramatic...
