And in the evening, when the heat subsides and the crowds of tourists dissolve, it is ideal to plan a vacation in the Eternal City with an emphasis on the gastronomic and a little bit of the cultural part.

Why take evening tours in Rome?

• After 4 p.m., most of the delicious pizzerias and restaurants open, where we go for tastings and dinners.
• From April to October on Fridays you have an exclusive opportunity without crowds of tourists, queues and heat.

So, we present you the ideal plan for a minimum of 5 evenings, based on the experience of the ITALY FOR ME team:

1. On the day of arrival, it is better to immediately go on an excursion in the evening, which combines the cultural and spiritual part - working up an appetite on the observation deck (we understand how the city works), the Aqua Paola fountain (the great-grandfather of the Trevi Fountain), visiting one of the most beautiful churches in Rome - Santa Maria in Trastevere, as well as getting to know Italian delicacies in the form of a tasting at the restaurant of our Neapolitan friend. This tour helps you to understand the peculiarities of Roman restaurants, to understand where it is tasty and inexpensive (or expensive) to enjoy Italian cuisine like a local.
2. If you are an owl by nature, categorically against our tours at dawn in Rome (, ) without crowds of tourists and heat, or just want to complement your impressions of Rome with new places, then the tour is ideal for you. It can be held on the first evening immediately after dinner in Trastevere or on the second day.
3. Think you've dabbled in Roman restaurants and cuisine a bit after diving in Trastevere? Are you slowly starting to consider yourself an expert? I hasten to disappoint you, on the author's tour of our Italian cuisine expert dedicated only to food (more than 10 tastings!) Your stomachs will sing odes and you will discover a lot of new places in Trastevere accessible only to our friends. I advise you not to eat at least 10:00 in the morning.
4. If Friday falls on one of the days from April to October during your vacation in Rome, then you should definitely use the unique chance to visit.
5. If you are a romantic at heart, come to Rome with your soulmate and are not afraid of new technologies, then you are ideal.
6. For our most loyal customers, we are pleased to show bars closed to most tourists, where local playboys spend their evenings and where only club members have access. We will talk heart to heart about life in Italy, drink a lot of delicious alcoholic drinks, introduce our friends, owners of bars and restaurants, as well as followers of the real Dolce Vita. The Trastevere 3.0 program is open only to our regular customers and friends, and dives are made only under a number of circumstances.
7. From April 17 to November 3, 2019 after 21:00 at the Forums of Caesar and Augustus there are special interactive night tours organized by the Italian Ministry of Culture. Although we are not fans of group excursions with an earpiece, we sincerely recommend these super interesting programs for adults and children that you can visit on your own. At Caesar's forum (beginning from Trajan's column), the guide leads you through the ancient ruins, at this time the information is duplicated to you in Russian and everything is beautifully highlighted - the sensations are unreal. You also pass under the Fori Imperiali street and you are shown historical videos of how the forums were excavated under Mussolini.
   

   At the Forum of Augusta, the tour is arranged in a similar way, only you are sitting on the podium. See the schedule on the official website www.viaggioneifori.it. Tickets cost 15 euros each, or 25 euros if you take 2 excursions, it is not necessary to buy in advance, it is enough to arrive 20-30 minutes before the start.

On approaching Rome, you can often hear the surprised exclamations of some passengers: they did not even think that the city was on the sea. In fact, seaside Ostia for Rome is like Zelenograd for Moscow: a remote area of ​​the city, where you can come by bus or train. It's right next to Fiumicino Airport, so if you have a long layover in Rome, you can take a taxi to Ostia and be at the beach in twenty minutes. The sea here is not as clean as in Sardinia or Salento, but swimming and sunbathing in the season is quite possible. The line of beaches starts within the city, and then stretches along the Tenuta di Castelporziano nature reserve - where you can ride a bike if you wish.

Farm products near the Circus Maximus

On weekends, there are many traveling markets in Rome. Farmers from Lazio and neighboring regions bring here their cheeses, sausages, vegetables, fruits and other products. For example, every Saturday and Sunday, a Campagna Amica association market takes place near the Circus Maximus (you can look for other places). Prices for farm products are higher than in the store, but the products are usually worth it. At the same time, you can try gorgonzola, grana padano, truffle oil, and other products. It is enough to ask: "Posso provare?" Nobody forces you to buy anything after tasting - you can say "buono, grazie" and move on.

vintage market

Rome's most famous flea market is called Porta Portese, a 50-year-old Sunday market. Here they sell everything in a row - from penny rings to antiques. But lately, locals have been complaining that there are too many consumer goods here, and the number of interesting vintage items has noticeably decreased. For the latter, it is advised to go to the Ponte Milvio market, which opens on the waterfront near the Olympic Stadium every first and second Sunday of the month. Here they sell old furniture, clothes, shoes and jewelry. You can find good stuff for a good price.

Botanical Garden

If you don't like crowds, check out the Sapienza University Botanical Garden in Trastevere. On weekdays it is quiet and deserted here - only green parrots fly from palm tree to palm tree. And a picture against the background of a bamboo grove, a Japanese garden or orchids will collect no less, if not more likes, than a banal photo “I'm at the Colosseum”.

Bar Freni e Frizioni

In Trastevere, it’s generally very cool to walk along the narrow lanes, occasionally stopping by for a drink and refreshment in some cafe. They are here on every corner. True, with the growth of the euro exchange rate in Europe has become more difficult. For those who want cheap and cheerful, we advise you to look into the Freni e Frizioni bar from 7 to 10 pm. This establishment, opened on the site of an old auto repair shop, pleases not only with a sincere atmosphere, but also with an evening aperitivo. At this time, by purchasing one serving of alcohol (from 6 euros), you get unlimited access to the buffet. There are several types of pasta and risotto, salad and fruit - enough to have a hearty dinner.

Rooftop coffee

Another way to make yourself beautiful for little money is to go to the cafe on the roof of the Capitol Museum. To do this, having barely risen to the Capitoline Square with sculptures by Michelangelo, you need to turn right and go towards Piazzale Caffarelli. There will be an entrance to the museum building - it is not the main one, and there is no sign there, but you don’t have to pay for the entrance. Climbing the stairs to the top floor, you will find a cafe. Its main advantage is a terrace with a stunning view of the city. The coffee here is also very good.

Cycling along the Appian Way

Rome is not a very cycling city, there are few bike paths and rather heavy traffic. You can ride along the Tiber embankment - there the bike path runs right by the water, or in the Appia Antica park. True, it is better to come there on a weekend. Despite the fact that only local residents have the right to drive there, traffic is quite intense on weekdays. In general, this is a very pleasant park with the ruins of old castles and villas of wealthy people along the ancient Roman road. After the trip, you can relax on the grass or quench your thirst at the city fountain. By the way, many do not realize to plug the tap with your finger - then the water will pour through the hole from above and it will be more convenient to drink.

Cafe and shop Biopolis

There are interesting places not only in the center of Rome, but also on the outskirts. So, if you suddenly find yourself in the northeast of the city, in the area of ​​​​the Libia metro station, go to Biopolis. Everything here is prefixed with bio-. In a cafe, you can eat a sandwich with smoked fish, wash it down with a glass of organic wine, and buy bio-fruits in the store. It also sells superfoods, cosmetics without silicones and parabens, as well as household chemicals for bottling. Customers can bring their own container and not harm the planet with another plastic liquid soap bottle.

Giubbonari street

Most often, Russians in Rome can be found in the via del Corso area - there, not far from the Spanish Steps, stores of famous brands are concentrated, from mass market to luxury. But all these brands are represented in Moscow in one way or another. If you want something less well-known, you should go to Giubbonari Street, which is not far from Campo de "Fiori. There are a lot of inexpensive shops with clothes and shoes of small Italian brands. You can take a break from shopping by buying ice cream at the Grom cafe - it is homemade and natural.

Confectionery Andreotti Via Ostiense, 54

It is more profitable to leave Rome from the Roma Ostiense station. Local trains stop here: a ticket to the airport costs 8 euros, while a trip on the Leonardo Express from Termini station will cost 14. The money saved can be spent on sweets in Andreotti pasticheria, which is located nearby. Here for 80 years they have been making excellent cakes with cream, chocolate and fruit. After all, a crisis is no reason to deprive yourself of the modest pleasures of Italian life.

shared

In the capital of Italy, there are many beautiful and unique places that are worth visiting for all visitors. There is something to see for lovers of architecture, history, contemporary art and entertainment. There are also places to go with children, so that all participants in the trip would be interested. Let's figure out what sights of Rome you should pay close attention to.

Rome is the largest city in Italy and at the same time its capital. In addition, this city is the administrative center of the province of Rome and the region called Lazio. The city was founded on the left bank of the Tiber, between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennine Mountains in 753 BC. Now the Tiber divides Rome into two parts.

Rome is also known as the "Eternal City" and the "city on 7 hills". The first name was assigned to the city in the ancient period, namely in the 3rd century AD, but it arose much earlier, in the 1st century BC. e. the poet Albius Tibull spoke about Rome. The second name comes from the location of the Roman settlements: on the Palatine, Capitalian, Quirinal, Caelian, Aventine, Esquiline and Viminal hills. By the way, the first settlements arose on the Palatine Hill.

Rome is the largest city in Italy and at the same time its capital.

The legend about the formation of Rome says that Romulus became the founder of the Eternal City. Together with his brother Remus, he arrived at the Palatine to organize a fortified colony. During a quarrel between the brothers, Remus was killed, so Romulus became the sole founder and first Roman king.

The area of ​​Rome is 1287 sq. km., and the population is approaching 3,000,000 people. This city is one of the most densely populated in Europe. Almost 95% of the population are Italians, the rest are representatives of other nationalities. Also, the vast majority of the population professes Catholicism.

In Rome, as can be seen from the above information, there is something to see and where to go. However, you won’t be able to save much on a trip - the prices here are not the most affordable.

Table: How to get to Rome

It is better to get to Rome from Russia by plane. The flight is carried out from the airports of Moscow or St. Petersburg. But from other European countries you can also get there by other modes of transport, for example, by water.

The city's attractions

Rome has a lot of places to see when visiting the city. These are monuments of culture and architecture, historical and natural attractions. Here's where to go in Rome:

Coliseum

The name "Colosseum" comes from the word "colossus". There are two versions of the origin of this name: either from the fact that the building itself was impressively large-scale, or because a huge statue of Nero was erected in front of it. The construction of the Colosseum took 8 years (from 72 to 80 years). The original name of this building is the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is believed that the Colosseum was built with funds obtained in the war with Judea, as well as using the labor force of prisoners of war. As soon as the amphitheater was completed, gladiator fights began to be held in it for the entertainment of wealthy Romans. At present, the condition of the Colosseum is not very satisfactory, however, what remains of it is impressive.

The name "Colosseum" comes from the word "colossus"

Forum

In ancient times it was the center of Rome. First, there was a market, then a place of people's meetings (comitia) and the seat of local authorities (curia). And before this place was used for the active social life of the Romans, it was a cemetery. Within the Forum, 9 temples, 3 arches, 3 basilicas and many other buildings were erected. The forum has undergone significant destruction, now you can see only some fragments of buildings: the remains of the columns of the temple of Vespasian, the seat of the Senate - Curia, the temple of Saturn, the remains of the temples of Atony and Faustina and some others (Castor and Pollux, Concord, etc.).

Seven Roman hills, including the Palatine

On the Palatine, according to ancient legends, the Eternal City was founded. Palatine is the central hill among the seven, its height is 40 m. Initially, the hill was used as a pasture, and when the first religious ideas arose among the locals, the hill was named after the goddess Pales, the protector of livestock. Since that time, the Palatine has become a place of sacrifice in honor of this goddess. On the Palatine there was a she-wolf cave, which, according to legend, fed Romulus and Remus, as well as the hut of Faustulus (teacher of Romulus and Remus) and the house of Romulus himself. Many temples and palaces were erected on the Palatine, and the word "palatin" itself entered many European languages. In particular, in Russian there is an analogue - "chambers". Now almost no buildings have been preserved intact on the hill, but on the Capitol - another Roman hill - the residence of the municipal authorities is still located.

You can get to all three of the above attractions by bus or by metro (Colloseo station).

You can visit the Colosseum, the Palatine and the Forum, as well as temporary exhibitions in a single electronic ticket(you need to pay and print it in advance). The ticket is valid for 2 days. Its cost for 2018 is: for adults - 12 euros, for children - free of charge, but a free ticket must be booked in advance, but the reservation will cost 2 euros (by the way, the reservation must be paid for all categories of customers if the purchase is made in advance). There are benefits for the youth of the European Union (for persons aged 18 to 25 years with EU citizenship, the ticket price is 7.5 euros). If you buy a ticket at the box office on the spot, then you do not need to pay an additional 2 euros.

By the way, experienced travelers recommend taking one day to visit the Forum, and the second - to see the Colosseum and Palatine (the Forum has the largest territory). However, many have time to see everything in one day. Forum and Palatine are one territory, and the Colosseum stands separately.

Church of San Clemente

The church (basilica) of St. Clement is located at the same metro station as the three previous attractions, you just need to go further southeast to St. Clement Street. The basilica complex includes three levels: upper, middle and lower, and the placement of the levels coincides with the order of construction, that is, the lower level is the most ancient, and the upper one is the “newest”. In the church you can see the relics of Christian saints (Clement, Ignatius the God-bearer and Cyril), frescoes and mosaics. The ticket price is 5 euros (to enter the crypt), and its upper part is open to the public.

Church of Saint Agnes

The construction is famous for the fact that the first Christians hid from the persecution of the emperor in its cellars. The temple is named after the early Christian martyr Agnes, who was killed by the Romans at the age of 12 for refusing to marry the prefect's son.

Now there is a museum here.

Rome Tips and Tourist Map

First, you should consider what mistakes tourists most often make in Rome, and what not to do in the Eternal City:

• walking in heels: firstly, it is difficult to walk in heels for a long time, and you will have to do this, and secondly, the roads of Rome are not designed for uncomfortable shoes;
• walk in too open clothes: in this form they will not be allowed into temples for inspection;
• bathe in fountains: for this, according to Italian laws, a large fine is imposed;
• there is near architectural monuments: this is also a local law;
• sign all kinds of petitions: many volunteers walk the streets of Rome, who, after your signature, will demand a charitable contribution to some foundation;
• rent a car and generally travel by car: in Rome, car traffic is significantly difficult and there is nowhere to park;
• buy tickets on the street from your hands: it is much more expensive than at the box office or via the Internet;
• make purchases from street vendors: you will definitely buy a fake.

Now about what you will need for walking around Rome:

So it doesn't take much. The main thing is the willingness to walk a lot and a good mood.

In Rome, everyone will find something to see and will definitely be impressed, regardless of age, gender and other factors. This ancient city contains the history of many centuries. It is better to plan a trip to the sights in advance, taking into account the time allotted for you to get acquainted with the Italian capital, as there are a great many of them. Traveling to the city on seven hills cannot be called a budget trip: the cost of all goods and services here is much higher than in Europe in general and in Russia in particular.

A well-planned route is a guarantee of a successful trip, which will leave vivid memories. Therefore, think in advance which sights of Rome you want to see. Number of known historical sites and architectural monuments in the capital of Italy is so large that it is simply unrealistic to see them in one trip. The following is a small list of the most interesting places in Rome, once visiting which, you will fall in love with this city forever.

Colosseum - visiting card of the Eternal City

To visit Rome and not visit the Colosseum is a kind of bad manners. Most tourists think so, so a huge multinational queue usually line up at the Flavian Amphitheater (as the Colosseum is also called). Majestic ruins are all that remains of the largest ancient amphitheater, erected by the emperors Vespasian and Titus, and intended for gladiator fights. However, even in a dilapidated state, this place is awe-inspiring.

Finding the Colosseum is not difficult: any guide to Rome will tell you how to get there.

The Trevi Fountain is a must have when visiting Rome

Rome is the city of fountains. But the most famous and largest of them is the Trevi Fountain. Almost every tourist who travels to the capital of Italy brings home a photograph taken against its background.

Aged in the Baroque style, this fountain is distinguished by the pomposity and majesty inherent in this direction. Masterfully executed figures of gods, tritons, pegasi and other representatives of ancient mythology look so grandiose and monumental that this place cannot be ignored.

Villa Borghese - a green oasis in a vibrant city

In the 17th century, by order of Cardinal Borghese, a landscape park was laid out in the northern part of the capital, on Pincho Hill. The villa itself and many ancient statues were located in it, and a little later a lake was artificially created here. At the beginning of the 20th century, the territory of the park became the property of the city - since then this place has become one of the most visited places both by the residents of the capital and tourists. The park houses a number of museums, as well as a theater.
