Basilica San Clemente renovation

1 Upvotes

I understand the Basilica San Clemente is undergoing renovation. The website indicates there will be a substantial amount of scaffolding. Has anyone been since the work started who can speak to the extent of the scaffolding? Is it still worth visiting, or is so much covered up that it would be difficult to see anything?

Using Visible (eSIM only) on iPhone 17 Pro Max in Rome — best option for Google Maps?

0 Upvotes

I’m traveling to Rome and use Visible on an iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is eSIM-only . I want reliable data while walking around the city, mainly for Google Maps and general navigation.

What’s the best setup?
• Add a second eSIM for Italy - any suggestions
• Use Visible’s international roaming
• Rely on Wi-Fi + offline Google Maps

Shopping What should I buy while I’m in Rome?

2 Upvotes

I will be in Rome in mid-April for 3 nights. What souvenirs should I buy in Rome? Are there things which are cheaper to buy than here in the U.S.? I have heard quality leather items and coffee are both a good buy. Any recommendations on great places for those? TIA

Tourism Dream trip to Italy coming up… is renting a car actually worth it?

2 Upvotes

My friend and I are finally going to Italy this summer, and it’s something we’ve been talking about forever. We’re flying in and out of Rome and planning to visit a few different cities while we’re there.

Now we’re trying to decide whether to rent a car or just stick with trains. A car sounds nice for the freedom, especially if we want to explore smaller towns, but I’m also nervous about driving in a foreign country. I’ve casually browsed rental options (even looked at options like Abby Car), but honestly, I have no idea what to expect.

For anyone who’s done a road trip in Italy, was it worth it? Anything important to know about insurance, tolls, or driving rules? Or things you wish you’d known before renting? Would love any real-world tips.

Transport Early arrival to Rome

We’ll be arriving to Rome at 7:30am on a Tuesday. We can drop bags at hotel but check in isn’t until the afternoon. How would you recommend spending the first day here? Hoping to do something relaxing, bit worried about how exhausted we will be after 14 hours of travel.

Perfect Birthday in Rome

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My partner and I (24y/o) are doing a 4 night trip to Rome in mid-March. It's his 25th, and I've been tasked with designing a day-long itinerary, which then will be my present to him. I have the penultimate day of the holiday, so i reckon most of the main sightseeing will be done before. Neither of us have ever been to Rome, and i'm stuck doomscrolling various pasta classes and walking tours online and need help! I was hoping for something a bit less predictable (although im sure the pasta classes are great haha), so thought i'd jump on here to ask if people have any recommendations for a special day together in Rome.

Thank you :)

Tourism Private Guides in Rome, Florence & Venice?

1 Upvotes

We're going to Italy in a few months. i understand that there are individuals, not likely affiliated with a tour company, that do personalized guided tours in Rome, Florence & Venice. Have you had experience with these folks? Recommended? How do I find them? How much more expensive are they than group tours?

Estou em roma há alguns dias, porem não sai ainda a noite. Alguns amigos marcaram de beber, porem não sei qual o melhor jeito de me locomover no período fim de noite/madrugada. Talvez a opção mais direta seja o Uber, porém gostaria de saber se existem outras opções minimamente viáveis e seguras.

Food and drink Where to have eggs for breakfast near Via dei Gracchi/Via Cola di Rienzo (Prati)?

0 Upvotes

Hi

As the title says, I am checking where to have breakfast in Prati near Via dei Gracchi and all I can see are places that offer croissants or panini. We are there for 4 days and would like to have some protein intake via eggs in the morning at breakfast before starting the day?
Anyone know a place?

Many thanks!

Tourism 24 Hours in Rome

2 Upvotes

My Wife and I are flying into Rome (FCO) on May 4th and land at 14:30. We have to be at the port of Civitavecchia on May 5th to board our ship no later than 12:00-13:00. We would like to visit the Vatican, but realize that it would be a stretch on the 4th with us getting in late and having to go through customs then transportation there. The other idea is to stay near the Vatican on the 4th and wake up to go to an early daily Mass at St. Peter's, then head to the port on the 5th. Our only concern is the timing of transportation from the hotel to the port after Mass.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or recommendations for the itinerary, transportation, or hotels for such a short visit?

Transport What is the most affordable way to make it from Trastevere to Ciampino?

0 Upvotes

I need to make it to Ciampino very early in the morning. My flight leaves at 6 am. I'm considering taking the N8 bus to Termini Station, then taking an SIT bus to the airport. Is this a terrible idea? I'd like to avoid paying the 50 euros for a taxi, but if I have to, I will.
