Rome Travel Agent Expert I’m a Rome travel agent specialist for a good reason - the Eternal City is one of the greatest destinations in the world, filled with stunning art, architecture, food, fashion, and natural beauty - around every corner and nook and cranny.Whether you are visiting for the first time or you have been to Rome before, you’ll be transported to another place and time. You’ll love the ruins and cobblestone streets. You can also enjoy a vibrant nightlife as well as dining, and entertainment options galore. Top Attractions and Activities in RomeIndeed, Rome is filled with world-class attractions, from ancient ruins to masterpiece art. Some must-sees include the following:? The Colosseum and Roman Forum. No trip is complete without visiting these iconic symbols of the Roman Empire. Walking the grounds, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time - both a hypnotic and surreal experience.? Vatican City. Whether you're religious or not, the Vatican is awe-inspiring, breathtaking, and a must-see attraction. St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums house many masterpieces of Renaissance art, including Michelangelo's famous fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.? Trevi Fountain. One of the most beautiful fountains in the world, the fount, according to legend, ensures a return to Rome - provided you toss a coin into the popular geyser.? Pantheon. A well-preserved Roman temple that has inspired architects for centuries, the domed roof and columns of the ancient structure are architectural marvels.Sampling Italian SpecialtiesFood is also a major part of Roman culture. For an authentic meal, try:? Pasta carbonara. Rich pasta dish made with egg, cheese, and pancetta.? Pizza bianca. Simple but delicious pizza topped with olive oil and salt.? Gelato. No trip to Rome is complete without enjoying artisanal Italian ice cream. Pistachio and hazelnut are popular flavors.With some of the world's best cuisine at your fingertips, you can easily dive right in and experience the incredible food scene. Below are more suggestions.Pizza and PastaAgain, no trip to Rome is complete without feasting on pizza and pasta. Head to Pizzeria Da Baffetto for piping hot pizza straight out of a wood-burning oven. For pasta, find a little family-run trattoria and order cacio e pepe, simple but delicious spaghetti tossed in pecorino romano cheese and black pepper.Espresso and GelatoNeed an afternoon pick-me-up? Stop at any cafe for an espresso. The bold, intensely flavored coffee will have you wired in no time. And for dessert, gelato, as mentioned, will cool and delight your palate. With flavors from tiramisu to zabaglione, the creamy Italian ice cream is delicious and divine.AperitivoA favorite Roman tradition is aperitivo, cocktails and small bites at bars from 6pm to 9pm. For a delicious aperitivo spread, check out Freni e Frizioni in trendy Trastevere. Their spritz cocktails pair perfectly with yummy morsels like arancini, fried olives, and prosciutto e melone.Al Fresco DiningWhen the weather's nice, snag a table at an al fresco cafe and embrace the environment. Some top spots for outdoor dining include Les Etoiles, right near the Pantheon, and Pierluigi, a seafood restaurant overlooking the Tiber River. With amazing food, drinks and surroundings, you'll never want to leave your surroundings!Planning Your Dream Roman HolidayPlanning a dream Roman holiday takes some advance preparation to make the most of your time in the Eternal City. I can help with all the details. Here are some tips to get you started:Make a Must-See ListWith limited time, you’ll have to be selective. Focus on what interests you most - ancient history, art, food, or nightlife. Must-sees include the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, and the Spanish Steps. Buy tickets in advance for big attractions like the Vatican Museum and Colosseum to skip long queues during your trip.Dress for ComfortRome’s cobblestone streets and layers of history mean lots of walking and stairs. Pack comfortable shoes, breathable clothing for hot weather, a light jacket for cool evenings, and a backpack to carry all the essentials. Dress modestly for churches and religious sites.Choose a Central LocationStay within Rome’s historic center so you can walk between major attractions. Options include:?

She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!

Daena was AMAZING to work with!! She was very excited to help us plan our trip to Italy! She helped save us money on both hotel and flights using our frequent flyer miles as well as having our hotel close, but not too close, to city center and within walking distance. She gave us so many ideas of things to see while in the area and recommending the best ways to get around in Rome. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone traveling to Italy, she knows the area very well!! She was always available to me, even while she was traveling cross county in the US as well as traveling in Italy herself! Shelly likes to travel and it shows!!
