Getting Around: Rome is walkable; use Metro, buses, and trams for longer trips. The Roma Pass offers free public transport and museum discounts.
Travel Tips: Book all major sights and workshops online in advance—especially in 2025’s Jubilee crowds.
Early mornings or late evenings are best to avoid summer crowds at major landmarks.
Dress modestly for churches; shoulders and knees should be covered.
Accommodations: Centro Storico is ideal for sightseeing, Monti for nightlife, Trastevere for a cozy village feel.
Dining & Etiquette: Tipping is modest, water is fine from public fountains, and always stand at the bar for a quick coffee like a Roman.
Rome extends la dolce vita, ancient wonders, and local warmth in every season. Plan ahead for the Jubilee, revel in art, history, and food, and allow yourself time to wander, discover, and fall in love with the Eternal City all over again
London is a city of layers—historic, modern, royal, and rebellious. But with over 1,500 square miles to explore, the "Big Smoke" can feel overwhelming for even the most seasoned traveler. While the Tube is efficient, you spend half your trip underground staring at a tunnel wall.
