5 Best Day Trips from Rome by Train
One of the best parts of visiting Italy is that you can get nearly anywhere by train. With this affordable travel option, you don’t have to worry about renting a vehicle and navigating a foreign country or waiting around in airports. Rome is the ideal home base for visiting Italy. Here are five of the […]
Italian Traditions and Holidays: La Befana
What is your favorite part of Christmas? Getting gifts, giving gifts, decorating the street, Christmas songs, Christmas sweaters (no you did not say you enjoy them, haha), or hanging your stocking near the fireplace. I grew up on the North East Coast and it was tradition to light a fire and after the tree was […]
Panettone and the Italian Christmas Tradition
Panettone. The “big bread.” (Because this is what panettone just means, and yet and indeed it is The Big Thing when it comes to celebrating Christmas in Italy.) The most popular outcome of Italian pasticceria since its invention. Despite the challenging competition of other various sweets, panettone has become essentially a synonym of Christmas, and […]
The Keats Shelley Memorial House and the English Quarter
The English Quarter–stretching roughly from Piazza di Spagna to Piazza del Popolo–is home to the Keats Shelley Memorial House and more. You’ve probably heard of the famous Roman Ghetto, the ghetto ebraico or Jewish neighbourhood, close to the River Tiber and the Teatro Marcello. Less known (and bearing a history significantly less steeped in tragedy), […]
Visit Rome’s Catacombs for Free(!) on October 12th
October 12th, 2019 marks Rome’s second annual Catacombs Day. This year’s Catacombs Day is the second ever – and what a treat it is for any visitor to Rome! Nearly all of Rome’s Catacombs will be free to enter. Not only that, but some areas of the Catacombs which are normally closed will be open […]
Roma Experience Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month
This October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The aim is to spread awareness about breast cancer, encourage self-examination among women, to raise money to beat breast cancer and support those who are suffering. For all of October, Roma Experience will donate a portion of our sales on the website to the Susan G Komen Foundation, […]
EUR: Rome’s 1942 World Expo District
Rome’s Modernist marvel was designed to host a World Expo that never was, but the bustling business district today is home to museums, monuments, and more. The year is 1942. It has been two years since Italy joined the war as a member of the Axis powers, one year before it would switch to the […]
Roma Experience’s Best Vatican Tours — and Why
Not all Vatican tours are created equal, so we put our thinking cap on and came up with a list of the best Vatican tours that Roma Experience offer. If you have a passion for history, art and culture, these Vatican City experiences will surely put a smile on your face. Skip the Line The […]
Best Attractions in Pacentro
Pacentro is an ancient hill town, situated in the heart of the Majella National Park in Abruzzo, Italy. In 2001, Pacentro was awarded the title as ‘One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.’ On one of our two tours to Pacentro, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the town; a storybook village from a […]
What to See in Naples
What to see in Naples? Absolutely everything! The city is a treasure-trove of wonders, which have delighted travelers, artists, writers and thinkers for centuries. Perhaps no one sang in praise of Naples as highly as writer and naturalist Goethe, who enthused about ‘the shore, the creeks, and the bay, Vesuvius, the city, the suburbs, the castles, the atmosphere… I can […]
