Only In Rome For 1 Day? Perfect Itinerary For Cruisers

[@michaeltemlett8179]

BEST VID EVER!!! Thank you SO much! We had a booking at the Sistine Chapel at 12:30 pm. We docked at the port, were first off the boat per your instructions, caught the taxi, then the train - deviated slightly (due to our booking) and went all the way to the main station, found the metro line and started your tour at the Colosseum using Komoot - it was PERFECT!! We saw all the sites, took amazing pics, we even tried the “Jewish pizza” (not a fan) & Pisa M’Po 🍕(HUGE fans!!!)… it was 38 degrees out & yet we made it all in good time - including the guided tour of the Sistine Chapel and back to the boat with more than an hour to spare. Thank you! Thank you!! Not just for your great advice but also for taking the time to put it all together so very carefully!! We were absolutely awe-struck by the magic of Rome - all thanks to you! Grateful! Mike & Mich T (Durban, South Africa) 🇿🇦

BEST VIDEO EVER? I really appreciate the compliment, I especially want to thank you far taking the time to come back an let me know how it went for you. Sorry you did not like the Jewish pizza! So glad things worked out & I was able to help make your visit more enjoyable!

[@michaeltemlett8179]

@@RozierRomano worries about the Jewish pizza - I’m sure many will love it! At least we got to try it… #WhenInRome! 😊 Thanks again. Sincerely.

We have one day in Rome in October. I am following your itinerary for the day. The one change is I purchased a guided tour of the Vatican from their official website with a set time of 10:30am. I can't wait to follow the tour you mapped out :)

[@RozierRoma]

That is great you will have a great time I am sure. Be sure to get he app Komoot, free to use in Rome. It will guide you making it easy. Just make sure your phone is charged!

[@asim3147]

Best 1day in Rome video I found on YT. Thank you!

[@RozierRoma]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment

[@kristenconnery3221]

We are on a cruise in July and have 1 day in Rome, this looks like a great option. Thanks.

[@RozierRoma]

I think You will really enjoy it. Just remember to get off the boat as soon as they let you otherwise getting into St Peters Basilica will take most of your morning, So much to see in Rome, so make the most of it!

[@HacksawJimThuggin]

I've been watching videos for months trying to plan our 1 day in Rome, this is exactly what I've been looking for. My wife and I are early risers, so we'll be standing by the exit door on the ship by 6:30! My only concern is that I've purchased Train tickets on the app (trying to beat the lines), but I was unsure what time to get so i got tickets for 7:58 and 8:42. After watching your video, I feel like I should change it to 7:30-7:45. Our plan was to hit the Vatican first and work back into Rome and we have a 5:45pm train back to Civitavecchia

[@RozierRoma]

The time on the tickets is not binding you can use it for earlier or later trains. Just validate on app before departure. Only trains with assigned seats are for a specific date and time. Hope you have a great time!!

[@HacksawJimThuggin]

@@RozierRoma thanks for the tip! I downloaded your Kamoot schedule as well. I'll be sure to come back and comment after

[@RozierRoma]

I would appreciate thet

[@Kirbythebirdie]

Great video! Thank you for sharing the route on Komoot! I've just saved it. Do you have additional routes for Rome or Florence that you can share? You're very knowledgeable and offer thoughtful advice for trip planning! I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@RozierRoma]

I will be putting more routs together soon for Rome, specially one that includes Trastevere. . Florence is much smaller and easy to navigate without a specific route. Hard to get lost in Florence. I am glad you liked the video. Be sure to share a comment of what you thought when you get back. Have a great time.

[@elainemcdonald1539]

Going in May 2025 and will definitely save this!!

[@RozierRoma]

If you plan and day right you can see so much!

[@Allright890]

Good information ❤

[@RozierRoma]

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching

[@MrN8russell]

This is great! I wonder if Vatican and the colosseum has skip the line ticket… our cruise will be in Rome from 8am to 8pm, not sure if we have time to do it in one go..but we are coming back for Rome for sure haha

[@RozierRoma]

If you get to the Vatican forst thing in the morning (by 8:30am) lines will be minimal and you will not need skip the line tickets. The skip the line are for the Vat museum only and some also include entrance into the basilica. Once you get to the colosseum the walking part is just over 3 miles about 1 hour but you will have 5 to 6 hours to do it in so it will be a relaxed pace for sure. I hope you give it a try.

[@RozierRoma]

You get Colosseum tickets online only so they are all skip the line. The tickets are for a specific time of day and date.

[@debrasams2362]

Great advice. Personal I would never want just one day in Rome. There is just so much to do. Do any of the site sell "skip the line" tickets?

[@RozierRoma]

The only skip the line tickets that you need are for Vatican Museum. All tickets for the Colosseum need to be purchased online and are for a specific time and day. So all are skip the line. The Pantheon you can purchase skip the line tickets but I usually just get them on site. There are 2 lines at the Pantheon, one for cash and the other for credit and a third for advanced purchase. Right out front they have a QR code you can scan to purchase and you can usually get tickets for immediate entry. Even if you are in Rome for several days you should give the walking part of Itinerary a try. Have a great time.

[@debrasams2362]

@@RozierRoma thanks much. Yes I will definately do the walk.

[@ArcheryGeek]

Great video - this is now my number one food tour video... Hey I am travelling with my kids and one has nut allergies - any advice for us other then carrying a card? Thanks!

[@RozierRoma]

Don’t eat the Jewish pizza it has nuts! Not sure what to do about nut allergies in Italy, but fortunately enough Italians in Italy, do speak decent English so you can communicate with them OK. So my site video turned into a food. I guess that’s a good thing part of the fun in Italy is not just the sites, but also the food

[@ArcheryGeek]

@@RozierRoma thanks! I watch you for both food and sightseeing tips. I am only in Rome for 4 days so need to be efficient and you are helping a ton!

[@RozierRoma]

Good to hear!

[@jsam4035]

I’ve seen wristbands that have pictures on them for allergies. Like a peanut with a red circle and line across it.

[@Donoprez]

Hello, new subscriber here 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Do you have any videos or recommendations if it is safe to use credit cards in Rome, or is it better to use cash??? Thank you in advance.

[@RozierRoma]

I do not have any videos about it, but it is very safe to use credit card. In fact, it’s preferred and very common. I use cards pretty much for everything, except for like open markets. You are not charged extra fees just the going rate, but if if you convert dollars to euros then there is a markup for the cash so it actually cost more to use cash not much but a little more to use cash. You still need cash from time to time but 90% of your purchase can be on credit card , even taxis

[@Donoprez]

@@RozierRoma thanks for the advice! I love your videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@TravelBody2023]

Great video! Thank you!! Is the Jewish pizza vegetarian?

[@RozierRoma]

YES! Nuts & Fruit

[@TravelBody2023]

Wonderful! I am looking forward to trying all the foods I have never tried before. I love your videos! They are both fun and informative. Well done!

[@RozierRoma]

Great to hear. The Jewish pizza is my favorite!

[@RozierRoma]

Oh, 1 more thing they are closed on Saturdays.

[@zargham086]

Hi, is this line just to enter Vatican city or to some museums? We are landing at 8.30 and plan to go to Vatican till 10am.

[@RozierRoma]

That is the line to get into Saint peters Basilica. It’s free, but you have to go through security first. Some tickets to the Vatican museum include entry into the basilica so don’t wait in that line. If you’re coming from another country, you’re going to have to go through customs, baggage claim and it may take longer than you think getting there by 10 AM will be a challenge, but either way the line then Will be long

[@cynthiapanah3978]

How long is the train ride from the port into Rome?

[@RozierRoma]

Just under one hour to the termini train station if you exit at the Vatican, it’s about 10 or 15 minutes less

[@johannadelbusto7987]

Thank you so much! 🙏💕 I plan to use this great advice.

[@RozierRoma]

So much can be done in a day if you plan right

[@ymc7496]

Great video, but the background music is too loud and distracting. FYI.

[@RozierRoma]

Agreed! In more recent vids I have lowered

[@MikeAndTum]

This looks great. We’re on our way to Italy now and will let you know how it goes. We have two days in Rome but will be spending time in the Colosseum and Vatican.

[@RozierRoma]

Great excited to get the feedback. You can always use one day for Vatican and Colosseum and the other for walking tour starting at the Colosseum. You do not want to start too early walking because many of the places to eat do not open until around 11 am. Have a great time!

[@allisonAsmega]

do you need wifi for the app? what do you recommend for cruisers to get wifi during a euro cruise?

[@RozierRoma]

You do need wifi and there are several options. One option is to get a tourist sim card when you get there. There are not too expensize about 10 euros for the card and anither 20 eros ofr a month of service.

[@allisonAsmega]

@@RozierRoma are you able to use the sim card throughout countries? Mainly Italy and Spain. Thank you for this video and input I am excited to try the itinerary (most excited for the food spots!)

[@RozierRoma]

The food is awesome. Yes the Sim card should work throughout Europe. You may want to check because there’s e- SIM cards and physical Sim cards . In order to use the Sim card to your phone often times needs to be unlocked so check with your carrier.

[@allisonAsmega]

@@RozierRoma Last question! We will be in Rome May 1st, which i just realized is workers holiday in Rome, do you think the pizza shops/bakeries you mentioned will be open on the holiday?

[@RozierRoma]

@@allisonAsmega Most but not all are open on holidays. 80% will still be open

[@salatm]

Always great and informative vids. I am going next year in May but I'm already taking your tips and planning. Can you suggest a link for a reliable Vatican tour company? This is the only place I'm concerned about lines and time. I will also have two young grandchildren and long lines some something that is not for gelato will be problematic. :) Already got nice place at overlooking Torre Argentina based upon your recommendation.

[@RozierRoma]

If you are wanting to just see the St Peters Basilica just get there before 8am and the lines will be short. St Peters closed on Wednesday mornings. If you are wanting to tour the museum I will put some links options for you.

how much does the train or bus cost around rome?

[@RozierRoma]

1.5 euros

[@chadhoffman6769]

Nice vid. Wondering about three days on our second time to rome, though it's been 25 years. Was told to go to Tivoli for the couple Villas. But with so much to still see in Rome, wondering if it's really worth it. The waterfalls look pretty in Tivoli. Thoughts? Grazie

[@RozierRoma]

If you have a choice between 3 days in Rome or 2 days in Rome and 1 in Tivoli, I would 100% spend 1 day in Tivoli. It is a fun city and a great escape from Rome. Lots to do and see there. You will love Tivoli!

[@chadhoffman6769]

Thanks. I think we may do it. Though we've never really explored the Bourgese gardens , park, museum etc. which was another option that day. Would you still say Tivoli over that too? thanks for your thoughts. @@RozierRoma

[@RozierRoma]

Kind of a hard decision, but for me, I would pick Tivoli. It’s an easy train ride about 45 minutes and cost under three euros. Each way trains leave two or three times an hour so it’s easy to get there and back. Tivoli is small enough that you won’t need a buss or taxi. I don’t think you will regret going to Tivoli. Villa Borghese is almost as big as the whole town of Tivoli. I think Tivoli will be more memorable and the train ride out and back is very pleasant

[@chadhoffman6769]

we're gonna do Tivoli, thanks much. Great channel. @@RozierRoma
