These "how to get to"videos are great.Keep up the good work Elissa.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much! I will be doing more of the so please stay tuned!

[@manunair5881]

Alyssa, your videos are so informative and useful!! You showcase the beauty of Rome really well. I'm going through your videos to plan my trip to Rome this year. This is really great content. A small suggestion: at the end of walking trips, maybe you could include a Google maps view of the route? It would help newbies like me to take the same route when we come to Rome..

[@Romewise]

Thanks for your very kind comments and excellent suggestion. I do have a map on the related page on the website, but will also include a link here in the description of the video, too. Thank you again!

[@dgschindele]

Well done! I've done this very walk many times. Rome is the World's best place to just let go and wander.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much! Yes, you can also just walk around almost anyplace in Rome and it will be beautiful!

[@catherinechiara8944]

Love how you take us on a walk putting all the sites in perspective!!! Knowing how to get there saves alot of time and frustration. Thanks for all your very practical tips. Mille grazie!!!

Alyssa, i always love the reinforcement for my first time to Rome in the fall. In fact, your favorite roof top bar is across the street from my hotel and it will become mine too. Had this walk planned out on my way to St Peters and it was nice to see you doing it. Thanks and please do more of these.

[@deborahschroeder1547]

Sorry misspelled Elyssa.

[@Romewise]

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed my video. Yes, I will make more like this! FYI The Grand Hotel Minerva is currently closed for renovation, but I have many other favorite rooftops. You can check them here: www.romewise.com/rome-rooftop-bars.html

[@Romewise]

No worries!

[@paulaiello2071]

Hey Elyssa, really enjoying your videos. I've watched 7-8 of them. I visited The Eternal City a week earlier this year (mid-April) with my daughter. We absolutely loved Rome! I plan on going back next year and also taking in Florence. Your videos are just right - easy to understand and loaded with great tips. Thanks again, Paolo

[@stevendomingue6033]

Hello Elyssa. I will be traveling to Rome in October and I am really enjoying your entertaining and informational videos. I have a question about this one, the walk from the Vatican City to the Colosseum. You posted this on June 30 yet all of the people, including you, are wearing jackets and it seems to be rather cold. When was this filmed? Surely it is not cold in Rome at the end of June. Grazie for the great info and keep up the good work.

[@Romewise]

Thanks a lot for watching my video. I am glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I filmed it all in winter but didn't get around to compiling and editing the video until more recently. October is a beautiful month to visit Rome. It will be warmer than you might think, and you should also expect huge crowds as it is peak season in Rome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o16rd5eYoJ2ip5I Thanks again, and have a great trip!

[@WeFade2Grey]

Just a heads up, I know it's fashionable for locals to hate the Vittoriano but you do get a fantastic view from the panarama terrace. This monument celebrates the modern state of Italy which is a nice contrast to the classical and Catholic Rome.

[@Romewise]

It's true some locals dislike the Vittoriano, but many do love it, including myself. It's part of history at any rate and yes, you are right, the views from the top are the best! I didn't include it as a thing to do on this walk, as the walk is already pretty long but I do recommend it to anyone with time to do it.

[@andyroo9381]

I always wondered about the outdoor drinking fountains. I never knew if they were safe to drink out of, but I guess they are since you recommended it.

[@Romewise]

They most definitely are safe to drink from, and delicious, not to mention cold (usually.) You might be interested in this video I did all about the fountains in Rome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5C4q2mFdpVjZsk

[@Diana-qm1ub]

What month is this? Just wondering If the first week of April If I would need to bring a jacket? Also I have a schedule tour at 8am, just wondering if it;s best we walk there from Prati or Uber there? Don't want to be late and miss our tour- We are so excited! Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous videos!

[@Romewise]

I filmed this in January which is why I'm wearing a heavy coat and scarf. If you are visiting in April, check these videos to find out what to expect and what to pack: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaK3gn2ghs9kmrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/opm0fZWVnq6Fi9U For an 8AM tour, if you are very close to your meeting point, you could walk. Otherwise, I'd take a taxi (check my video to find out why we don't have regular Uber in Rome): kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3WZha2koKyAgNE Thanks a lot for watching and for your kind comments!

[@lallabarry9878]

How long have you been living in Italy. I am visiting with a tour in April, and looking so forward. All the way from South Africa.

I've lived in Rome since 2001. I'm married to a Roman so this is home. Have a great visit!

Thank you so much! We do not give tours but we do organize tours with a private guide. Please write us at [e-mail] and we can give you further details.

Thanks for watching. As I mentioned in the video, it's about an hour walk between the two.

[@fariniafredericks3091]

Hi Alyssa during which month did make this vid? It looks very cold. We'll be in rome first week of Nov this year and wonder how the wesrher is that time of the year. Also is it still quiter during Nov or is Rome nowadays full on crowded right through the year?

[@Romewise]

I made this in January. November is not as cold. Rome has gotten busier in recent years and there is less of a low or shoulder season than there once was. November can be busy, especially at the beginning of the month. You might find this useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d57ZqZWLrsl7i5I

[@dionysusssy]

Hello! There seems to be a lot of tourists. I'd like to know when you made this video so I can avoid this period in the future 😊 thank you so much!

[@Romewise]

Hello and thanks for watching! I made this video in winter. There are a lot of tourists because these are two of the most popular sites in Rome. But also because Rome has visitors year-round. Here are my tips for the best time to visit Rome: www.romewise.com/best-time-to-visit-rome.html

[@julieharper6690]

Do walk a fast pace or more of a stroll to get that time frame

[@Romewise]

I did a mix because I was walking sort of fast (just my pace) but also stopping to film and take photos. Either way, it's about an hour more or less between the two sites. Google maps shows 48 - 58 minutes so I would give yourself up to 1.5 hours for strolling and making short stops.

[@andrsgarc]

Is booking for the Pantheon still required just on the weekends?

[@Romewise]

At the moment, yes, booking is required (free) on weekends and holidays.

[@ChristinaPermenter-g5i]

Any suggestions if traveling with a mobility scooter?

[@Romewise]

Yes, I have a web page dedicated to this topic: www.romewise.com/accessible-rome.html

[@MarkMelewski]

Im going in April, is that a good time weather and tourist wise?

[@Romewise]

April is really high season, and the weather is fine but can be cooler than you expect. Check my video all about this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opm0fZWVnq6Fi9U And you may be interested in my video about the best time to visit Rome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6PJaJiHhcemr6c

[@Soso-ok8jz]

Our hotel is close to coliseum and we have to walk to vatican museum. Our tickets are for 11 am. Do we have to be there in line before 11 or be there by 11. We got skipped the ticket line but not skip the line. Im really stress out about that long walk lol

[@Romewise]

First of all, if you are actually visiting the Vatican Museums, I suggest you consider another way to get there. You will do a LOT of walking once you are inside the Vatican, and a walk from the Colosseum to the Vatican will tire you out. But either way, if your tickets are for 11AM, you can arrive at about 10:30/10:45. You have 15 minutes' leeway on either side of your booking time.

[@Soso-ok8jz]

@@Romewise thank you. We grabbed a taxi and it was the best decision.

[@Romewise]

@@Soso-ok8jz So glad!

When in rome hire a driver and a guide, each cost E50 perhour. Cheap at twice the price.

[@Romewise]

Sure. But this video is for people who may want to take this walk and see some interesting things along the way.

[@silviaperez1624]

Is this walking route wheel chair accessible.

[@Romewise]

Hi Silvia - great question. For the most part it is, although Rome is not the most wheelchair friendly city. We do have ramps on some but not all sidewalks. The good thing is that it's pretty much a flat walk except for the few places I mention walking up stairs or a ramp, but those can also be skipped. You may find this page helpful: www.romewise.com/accessible-rome.html Thank you for watching my videos!

For other Rome visitors (non-European), Vatican City is actually a separate country and not a state, so you get 2 countries for the price of visiting one 😁

[@rosyfoxtrot]

The only way I could walk that far is taking long breaks on the way lol

[@Romewise]

I agree, no matter the season! But while Rome is very walkable, I think this walk is only a good idea if you are not visiting both sites on either end - then I think it's a bit too much.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Is it really as relaxed as it looks? That would be great if it were true. Everyone can just stay in Paris and leave Rome livable 😛

[@Romewise]

Well it's as relaxed as you'd like it to be :) I like the walk but it's also a long one...

Yes you can take the bus but the point of this video was to show how to walk between the two and to share some interesting things to see along the way.
