18 Tips I Wish I Knew Before Visiting ROME

[@rokgoesaround]

Here is a list of my Favorite ROME Experiences & Tickets: bit.ly/RokGoesAround_Rome

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

I’ve been reviewing first time Rome videos for an upcoming trip. I’ve been many times but nobody else in my family group has. It’s helpful to see what challenges and enjoyments they will have from another person’s perspective. Thank you.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗. Appreciated. I wish everyone safe and great trip.

The best museum in Rome is MUSEO NAZIONALE ROMANO. It is a museum for intelligent people!

[@olgitad4693]

I am so happy to find this channel 😊 . You are the best!!!!

[@gnufz8623]

I'd agree with most tips, especially the show-up-early one. Most tourist attractions open between 8 and 9, tourists show up after breakfast, i.e. between 9 and 10. Have your caffé e cornetto at a bar (usually open at 7) and a second breakfast after the colosseum. If you like a challenge, you can also rent a scooter and discover Rome the Italian way! Lots of fun and you can see places that are really difficult to get to with public transport. That said, I don't think you need a Hotel downtown. I usually stay in the Castelli Romani (my favorite is Frascati). It is much more relaxed, food is better because there are less tourists and more natives, and you can get around wonderfully with a scooter or out there even with a car (rental at airport). When you want to go to Rome, you will take the train anyway. From Frascati to Termini 30 mins. If you are planning to stay in the city late, you still have the scooter (with which parking is no problem). In any case. 3-4 days for Rome is a joke! I've been going to Rome since 1990 at least 1 or two times a year and at least for a week, usually for longer, and I still haven't seen all there is to see. If you come to Rome for 3-4 days, make sure you come again! Oh - and it's pronounced "porketta" - not "portschetta" - ch in Italian is pronounced like a k.😉

Thanks for you info. Very much appreciated 👍

Greetings from Las Vegas! We just had our anniversary at Caesars Palace at a restaurant called Trevi. It's amazing how similar the looks of the Venetian and Caesars are to the actual country of Italy, there's obviously no comparison, but this was a great video. Thanks for sharing. We Liked this video and will be checking out more.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Interesting story. Keep in touch.

[@EXO-RR]

[@alexanderwinkler9544]

Hi Rok, first of all this rome travel guide is probably the best i have seen 😊! I really appreciate the footage, which brings me to my question: do you know which focal length u used for the wide-angle shots and could u tell me pls😅? For example at 08:12 forum romanum, 08:32 Pantheon and 03:42 Im going to visit rome in May and i cant decide which lens to take: SonyZeiss 16-35mm F4 or Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Currently i prefer the SIGMA (better in low light), but im not sure if its wide enough 😝 You really would help me a lot ! 🙏

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 16-35 is my favourite focal lenght. But I also keep 24mm prime for low light situations. I also use 24-105 for details. Hope this helps. I wish you a great trip.

[@alexanderwinkler9544]

@@rokgoesaround thank you so much ! 🙏still a hard decision for me, but yeah it helped ! rome will be great :)

[@debratuffs3607]

Thank you so much for this fantastic video. I am going to Rome on my own and have booked to go to the Vatican. I am getting a taxi down from the Romoli Hotel, but not sure how to get back up there. Could you help me please?

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 I am pretty sure you will be able to find a taxi nearby to get back. You can ask the police, they are very friendly. Have a great trip.

[@georgelin9604]

I wish your retirement plan was true 🤣. That is what happens if you do more jobs at the same time.

You make great videos, filming, editing and commenting, but there are no views worth it..and it is the same problem that I face because I do the same content, but in Arabic..so I decided to change my content because it is not attractive despite the great effort in creating it.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. I will keep on trying and see what happens 😊. Wish you all the best.

[@Bruno-jc9lx]

Congratulations, great video. Unfortunately Rome's bad are the dexterity thefts carried out especially on the metro, 90% are done by young gypsies from Eastern Europe, Slavs, Romanians, Moldavians etc... One last note, you have to learn how to use a fork properly to eat spaghetti! Ah! Ah! Ah! However you did very well.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗

Hello i will reach rome via the cruise, what are the transports avaivable at the port to travel the center and visit rome ?

[@katielooh4052]

Love your videos but there’s just something wrong with your audio quality or the microphone. It just doesn’t sound relaxing or it gives me headache for some reason.

[@joespassionforitaly]

Porketta

[@donnacook1755]

I missed the name of the restaurant you had the carbonara and saltimbocca. It looked delicious. I'd like to add this place to my list

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

Use ‘eat like a local Rome’ as a search term. Look for 6 or 7 sites that are clearly food oriented. If a place comes up on 3 or 4 of them, it’ll be good. If wandering- contrary to rumor it’s possible to eat well without a second mortgage near (ish) the main tourist sites. Look for small places without a view of the sites. Look for menu and conversation by clientele in Italian. Look for a small number if menu items, ideally on a blackboard by the door. You’ll probably eat amazingly well for half what the microwave pasta near the Coliseum costs. Check out Testaccio for lunch and the really cool artists co-op in the old meat plant for a relaxed lunch. The Ghetto or Trastevere have a variety of excellent places as well. Trastevere is beautiful at night.

[@cutedollcute9901]
