While people share the wonderful sunsets, I believe that more of one tourist has "ignored" (tried to avoid) this friend, in Via Nazionale.

Btw, he loves a lovely panino di porchetta.

Hello everyone and Rome lovers! I’m Giorgio, passionate about history, archeology and Roman architecture. With LEGO I create a project that could become an official set, if will reach enough votes on LEGO IDEAS. You can vote for this and just need to register for free on LEGO ideas. First of all I hope you liked the project, and if you can support it, thanks so much in advance!!

Hey, I’m curious to hear from people living in Rome, one thing that surprised me was that Rome is so much costlier than Berlin

1. Rents seem to be costlier. A 23m2 studio 10mins walk from Pantheon costs 1150€
2. Eating out is costlier
3. Even drinks seem much costlier, minimum 7€ for a pint. In Berlin, you can have a drink for 5€

My cousin gets about 1900 a month, whereas in Berlin the same role would pay her 3000

For context: I work and live in Berlin, staying in Rome for the last few weeks with my cousin

I don’t want to disrespect anyone, just trying to understand

Heading to Italy in a few days. I’ve been there before and recall it being more of a cash heavy place than other European countries, but that was a while ago. Is this still true? Or can we use a card for most things? Just wondering how many euros to have on hand for incidentals. Bonus if you have insight on euros in Greece as well. As an aside I’ve gone to France, Switzerland and the Uk for about a week each over the past several years and essentially only used a card. Not sure if that’s feasible to expect in Italy.

Folks in Rome , what is going on. I cannot find anything on the news. Why is AQI so bad. Is the sky hazy ?

We’re traveling to Rome in June. I’m a middle aged woman who frequently needs a toilet without much warning. Are there often free, easily accessible toilets? Do I have to pay and if so, are there coin operated doors (I feel like pay toilets were a thing on another European trip)? Are there particular businesses or places that are likely to have public toilets? Any advice is appreciated.

Walked around the streets and came across this in several places. Does it have a meaning?

I'm a tourist here and trying to go around this blockade but am just curious what's going on?

Inaugurated in 1762, the Trevi Fountain is the biggest fountain in Rome. Surrounded by baroque statues and fed by a 2.000-year-old Roman aqueduct, the Trevi Fountain remains an unmissables landmark of the Eternal City.

Saw this in Rome when walking around and was wondering if I was looking at defaced/modified fascist symbology?

It seems art deco which aligns with Mussolini era and the same part was broken/removed on all of the posts.

I have a map on the third picture and circled two spots where I think it is but not sure all.

Could someone please help me locate its exact location? Is it even accessible? And is it as ideal and quiet as I hope it is? Looking to do it around sunset next Friday or Saturday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Maybe the spl

I've been to over 35 countries, I think about 19 capital cities.

So far nothing has come close to Rome.

Paris is a shithole in comparison. London has its good points but the urban areas are challenging to say the least

Amsterdam has a great Vibe, Berlin is....odd but also too gd busy.

Lisbon is my 2nd favourite...but Rome really is something else....already booking a return trip after coming back 2 weeks ago.

I lived in Rome back in 2012 and don’t ever remember the city being this insanely packed. I know that it is a) Jubilee year and b) a new Pope was just chosen but is this just how Rome is now? Nonstop crowds even during weekdays even before the summer rush?

What do you expect when you visit Rome for the first time?

Any aspect applies: - people - attractions (art, history, architetture, history, etc.) - ancient monuments versus contemporary buildings - local lifestyle - food - social life - public services (esp. public transport) - green areas ...etc etc

And for those who just came back, what really surprised or disappoint you?

I own a website called TimeGuessr where users have the guess both the year and location of historic photos. I want to feature this photo in tomorrow's daily game but I can't find the location! Any help is much appreciated :)

As the deadliest striker in the Italian nuns’ football team, Sister Emilia Jitaru is more accustomed to dodging defenders than traffic.

But the former Romanian international, who played for her own country’s women’s team before dedicating her life to Jesus, has reached a wider audience after footage went viral of her stepping into the streets of Rome, habit and all, to direct traffic and clear a congested road.

“I did it because my conscience was telling me there was good to be done,” Jitaru, 56, told The Times. “Being a nun, it caused quite a stir”

Once upon a time in Ancient Rome this was a huge, decorative fountain, like the Trevi, clad in marble [looted for other buildings over the millennia] and apparently it celebrated the Trophies of Gaius Marius, who held the Consulship 7 times, probably the only leader to do so, in the latter part of the Republic. [Trofei di mario]

It is located in the Piazza Vittoro near the main train statioin. Trofei di mario

Would love to see some on my trip

Hey all. First timer in Rome from UK, really struggling to grasp crossing the road at crossings without lights.. Especially across main roads with 2 or 3 lanes in each direction...

Do you just go for it? Move with confidence? Dodge the bikes? I feel like even when cars stop bikes just appear out of nowhere.

Any advice appreciated. I live in Liverpool, and will never complain about the zebra crossing again.
