Explore Rome
Rome has enough to fill a lifetime. Here are some highlights to help you make the most of your time between group events.
Sights Worth Booking Ahead
The Pantheon
One of the best-preserved ancient buildings in the world. Entry now requires a timed ticket booked in advance — it sells out, especially on weekends.
Book ahead →Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
Book at least a few weeks ahead. The Sistine Chapel alone is worth the trip. Arrive early, and set aside half a day minimum.
Book ahead →Borghese Gallery
Arguably the best art collection in Rome, and far less crowded than the Vatican. Entry is timed and capped — must book in advance.
Book ahead →Walk-In Wonders
Trevi Fountain
Visit at dawn or late at night to see it without the crowds. Toss a coin — though you already have a reason to return to Rome.
Piazza Navona
A beautiful baroque square for people-watching over an espresso. Home to Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers.
Campo de' Fiori
Lively market in the mornings, bustling piazza in the evenings. Great for picking up fresh produce or finding an aperitivo.
Rick Steves Audio Walking Tours
Free self-guided audio tours for Rome's major neighborhoods and landmarks — no guide, no group, just your phone and comfortable shoes.
Browse tours →Weekend Markets
Porta Portese
Rome's biggest and most famous flea market. Hundreds of stalls stretching along the Tiber — vintage clothes, antiques, curiosities, and street food.
Borghetto Flaminio
A more curated market with vintage clothing, jewelry, and design pieces. A good spot if you want to browse without the chaos of Porta Portese.
Mercato Monti
An eclectic indoor market in Rome's coolest neighborhood. Independent designers, vintage clothing, art, and accessories. Easy walk from the Colosseum.
Neighborhoods to Wander
Trastevere
Rome's most charming neighborhood. Cobblestone streets, ivy-covered walls, local trattorias, and great nightlife. Put on comfortable shoes and get lost.
Testaccio
The original food neighborhood. Visit the covered market for lunch, try a supplì, and catch the view from Giardino degli Aranci up on the Aventine Hill.
Monti
The coolest neighborhood near the Colosseum. Great for independent boutiques, wine bars, and a slower pace than the tourist center.
Prati
Elegant and residential, just across the river from the Vatican. Wide boulevards, excellent cafes, and easy to navigate on foot.
A Few Tips
- Book popular sights online before you travel — things sell out weeks ahead in May.
- Many of Rome's churches are free and extraordinary. Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano, and Santa Maria sopra Minerva are all worth a look.
- The afternoons (roughly 1–4 PM) can be quiet — some smaller shops close for riposo. A good time for a long lunch or air-conditioned museum.
- Validate your bus or metro ticket before boarding, or risk a fine from an inspector.
- Most of the centro storico is very walkable — many main sights are within 30 minutes of each other on foot.
Travel & Accommodations
Guests are responsible for their own travel and lodging. Here's what you'll want to know to plan your stay.
Getting to Rome
Rome has two airports:
- Fiumicino (FCO) — the main international airport. Take the Leonardo Express train (~45 min, runs every 30 min) or a metered taxi to the city center.
- Ciampino (CIA) — smaller airport, mostly budget airlines. Served by shuttle buses and taxis (~40 min to center).
Where to Stay
Both main events are near the Roman Forum & Colosseum — Hotel Forum is right on Via Tor de' Conti, steps from the Forum. Staying nearby puts you close to everything.
Good areas to look:
- Monti — hip and walkable, right next to the Colosseum
- Centro Storico — central, easy access to all of Rome
- Trastevere — charming neighborhood, ~20 min walk or short taxi to the venue
Getting Around
- On foot — much of central Rome is walkable. Most wedding events are within a 15–20 min walk of each other.
- Taxi — white, metered cabs. Use the itTaxi app or hail one at a stand.
- Uber — available in Rome, good for non-peak hours.
- Metro Line B — stops at Colosseo. Single ticket €1.50, valid 100 min.
Book Early
Rome in May is peak season — hotels and apartments fill up fast. We recommend booking as soon as possible, especially if you're arriving before Saturday, May 16.
