Before you go

Rome at a glance

Italy's capital, where ancient ruins, Renaissance and Baroque churches and the Vatican share one walkable center. People come for the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, the piazzas and Roman cooking. Summers are hot.

Known for

  • Colosseum Colosseo

    The 1st-century Flavian Amphitheatre; the standard 24-hour ticket also covers the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

  • Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel Musei Vaticani e Cappella Sistina

    The papal art collections, ending in the Sistine Chapel; buy only from the official ticket site, as lookalike sites charge more.

  • Trevi Fountain Fontana di Trevi

    Baroque fountain where entry to the basin area has needed a small ticket from 9:00 to 22:00 since February 2026.

  • Trastevere

    Old quarter across the Tiber of cobbled lanes and evening trattorias, around the basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere.

  • Carbonara

    Roman pasta with guanciale, pecorino romano, egg and black pepper, made creamy without cream.

Getting there

From Fiumicino, the non-stop Leonardo Express runs to Roma Termini in about 32 minutes, every 15 minutes. The FL1 regional train, also about every 15 minutes, stops at Trastevere, Ostiense, Tuscolana and Tiburtina but not Termini. Several shuttle buses run to Termini, and the center is about 35 km by road.

Getting around

The historic center is best on foot. The Metro has three lines (A, B and C), and line C reached Colosseo in December 2025; buses and trams fill the gaps.

When to go

Spring and autumn are the mildest. August averages about 32 °C by day, and heat records top 40 °C. October to December are the rainiest months. Winter days are around 13 °C, and snow is rare.

Local tip

The Vatican Museums open free on the last Sunday of each month, 9:00 to 14:00, with last entry at 12:30. Book every other day at tickets.museivaticani.va only.
