It’ll take you a just few seconds, but it helps me out massively!

Where did you book tickets for Colosseum? The Vatican has its own site but I can’t find one for colosseum and there are so many different ticket sites for it. I don’t want to be scammed. Thank you

[@laurare4389]

Great video! For sure! I'm Italian and I want to give you a couple of tips: an Italian open street market Is made to sell fresh vegetable and fruit for lunch (it's a rule followed everywhere here, so it's Better you go to Campo dei Fiori in the morning). You've visited the Stadio Olimpico, but at its side you find the Stadio dei Marmi (stadium of the marbles) which Is absolutely stunning even if It was built during the Fascist Era. And if you stay longer don't miss EUR neighbourhood

[@UltimateBucketList]

Ah, that's why there was lots of garbage in the afternoon at Campo Di Fiori. Thanks for the tips?

[@noraia2111]

You deserve all the credit. This was such a beautiful video. I'm heading to rome 1st week of December for a few days, and this video has been the most comprehensive and straightforward guide I've seen so far. With this video, i definitely dont need a tour guide anymore. Thank you so much, your hardwork did not go unnoticed. I'm super grateful.

Absolutely brilliant video🙌

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thank you 🙌

[@johnadkins5560]

I've been to Rome 4 times and I can never get tired of it. The food and gelato are just out of this world! If you want the best gelato in the world, you MUST go to Giolitti, which is near Via Del Corso. Every time I go to Rome, I go there at least two or three times a day! I fell in love with about 10 flavors. Going to Rome without going to this gelateria is an absolute crime. Then there's a restaurant at Piazza Del Popolo called Dal Bolognese. They specialize in mouth watering pasta that's just absolutely great, but you have to make a reservation before going there. Yes, Rome is the greatest city in the world!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes I totally agree! I don't believe I ever went into Giolitti, my go-to places for gelato are Fioco Di Neve and The Gelatist. To be honest, I think anywhere in Rome serves good gelato. I'll have to remember Dal Bolognese for the next time. Thanks for the pointers and for stopping by 😀

[@johnadkins5560]

@@UltimateBucketList Oh ok. I never heard of Fioco Di Neve or The Gelatist, but I'm sure they're also good. Rome is overrun with good restaurants and gelaterias, but trust me, you'll love Giolitti. Frigidarium is another good gelateria. I recommend them, too, but Giolitti is the champ. Check them out the next time you're in Rome.

[@jesjes5255]

may I suggest Galletaria David at Sorrento.....the best gelato no competition

[@ironclad57]

The reason you cannot take photos / videos in the Sistine chapel is because the 1980’s restoration was paid for by the Japanese Nippon TV company who provided $4.2 million to pay for it. In return they were given exclusive photo / film rights.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes that is correct!

[@jesjes5255]

darn, and I thought it was because of its holiness. Next time I'm there .....

[@christopherjordan4812]

Wish you did this video 5 years ago when I went. I didn’t realise there such more to see. Quality video again.

Thanks Christopher. Yeah, it's been a while coming. Just gives you another reason to go back, eh?

[@TopBoySmoove]

Yet another epic video, I’m thoroughly impressed by this gem! While we’re on the subject, world you do a travel guide of Pompeii and/or Herculeaneum? Those cities were such important hubs during their heyday in the Roman Empire before they were destroyed in 79 AD. That would be pretty damn epic.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks very much! Yes, I'd love to go to Pompeii - I'm sure I'll visit there tying in a trip to Naples.

[@Tidybitz]

Another beautifully presented video. I've only been to Rome once in the early 2000s and it is a beautiful city with loads of history to see and great food as Italian food is one of my favourites. I saw most of the places shown in the video, and I'm glad you highlighted those damn pickpockets. I'm also not a religious person, but even so, a visit to the Vatican is very impressive and should be done.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Wow, thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the effort I make on these videos and to help people discover these places for themselves. Too many KZbinrs make a video about some place, only for them to point the camera at themselves (and not the attraction) most of the time. Thanks again.

Just as a side note, I was traveling in Europe (I think Amsterdam) and was at a street car stop and each car stopped, the driver looked at me, but then DID NOT open the door and left! Later a person told us that WE had to hit the button on the car and that opens the door! The driver does not open it,and they just assumed that we were not going to board!!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks very much, I'm happy this video helps you plan your trip to Rome. As for specific hotels, I don't have specific recommendations. But if you're after a premium hotel, the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi is just outside Repubblica station, I walked past this one a lot and it seems to be popular with upmarket folk and celebrities etc. It has a rooftop pool and everything.

@UltimateBucketList I plan to visit Rome in October with my wife and daughter and would like any suggestions of places to stay which is not costly. Thanks

[@UltimateBucketList]

That's a tough one, as hotels are generally not cheap anywhere in Europe these days. My advice is to stay at a reasonably priced hotel near Termini station, but the prices vary wildly. There isn't a specific hotel I could recommend as the prices change daily.

For all the museums or sites do I need to go to a website to pay the entrance fee? Do I need to reserve or pay in advance, or can I pay at the entrance?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hi Jeanette. It's definitely advisable to book tickets in advance (they send them to your e-mail), as queuing for tickets is painful and there's no guarantee they'll let you in at that time. In the quieter months, you can get away with just walking in, but I'd never leave it that late. Hope that helps?

[@jesjes5255]

EU18 for 72 hr transport pass is a bargain!!!!! thanks for the tip

[@UltimateBucketList]

It really is! Most of Europe has reasonably cost public transport ... except in England where I live!

[@imranmaljee]

What app would you recommend to purchase tickets in advance for the attractions ?

[@UltimateBucketList]

I never used any app to purchase tickets. I either went to the official website or to the respective ticket offices. There are several apps / inclusive tickets that cover most of Rome's attractions that you can buy. The main three are the Rome Tourist Card, the Roma Pass and the GoCity Pass. You'll have to look at what they offer and see if that works for you.

I'd love to! I think I'm going to Japan for the 2025 World Expo, so it'll be a while, but the plans are there!

[@utkarsharora7176]

Hello In your vatican city video you have informed about where to book the tickets from. Can you also let us know the same here? So we can save some bucks

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hi. Apart from the Vatican and the Colosseum (check out that video on my channel), the rest of the attractions you don't need to book. Just turn up as they're very quiet compared to the Vatican and the Colosseum. Hope that helps?

Hi! We are booking tickets now to Italy, and would like you to know that since July 2023, you now need 5 euro tickets to get into the Pantheon :)

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, I'm aware. This video was made before they ever considered charging for the Pantheon. Personally, I think it's wrong that they charge you to enter what is effectively a church - given that the other churches in Rome are free.

Thanks Stuart. I think it's probably the most interesting city that I've ever been to, so if you're thinking about booking a trip, you won't regret it! 😀

[@ginagina9720]

Can I ask you please 🙏 what do you mean by appropriate clothing? Can I wear a skirt and top? Because I don’t wear jeans or trousers and i don’t wear long sleeve tops

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hi Gina. So long as your shoulders and knees are covered, you're fine. Same applies to men. If you're not sure, Google 'Vatican Dress Code' and their official website highlights what you can and cannot wear. Hope that helps?

[@ginagina9720]

Thank you 🙏 so much for your answers i will google that now….and what is the nearest airport to Monti? I’m thinking of staying in Monti for 3 nights can I get a taxi from Monti to the colosseum? Or would it be best to book a hotel near the colosseum? I really do appreciate your help thank you 🙏

[@UltimateBucketList]

@@ginagina9720 You mean the Monti that's a district of Rome? Or is there another town called Monti?. If it's the district of Rome you're talking about, it's literally right next to the Colosseum. Either airport will take you to Termini station, of which is a 5 minute walk from Monti and a further 5 minute walk from the Colosseum. No taxi's required! Hope that helps?

@@UltimateBucketListThank you. I really like your videos.

[@giulianoradice4715]

Video molto bello! Complimenti. Però è impossibile fare una guida completa di Roma perché musei, chiese, monumenti sono tantissimi e tutti estremamente importanti. Perciò aggiungerò solo alcune notizie. Tutti pensano che a Roma ci siano 2 stati: Italia e Vaticano ma si sbagliano, in realtà gli stati sono 3: Italia , Vaticano e Sovrano Ordine di Malta. Per vedere quest'ultimo stato bisogna andare nella piazza omonima, opera di un grandissimo architetto: Gianbattista Piranesi, autore anche della chiesa dell'Ordine di Malta. ( è abitudine dei turisti guardare dal buco della serratura della porta per osservare la cupola della Basilica di San Pietro) Le chiese di Roma importanti dal punto di vista artistico sono più di 350. Contengono capolavori stupefacenti, pale d'altare di Caravaggio, Reni, Guercino, Rubens , Batoni, Subleyras ecc.ecc. e non bisogna dimenticare le statue famose , il Mosè e il Cristo risorto di Michelangelo, le numerose opere di Bernini (fra tutte primeggia l'estasi di Santa Teresa), la statua famosa dell'Houdon, quelle di Legros, Algardi ecc.ecc. E poi ci sono i musei. Cito solo i più famosi: Museo Nazionale Etrusco di villa Giulia (il più importante del mondo) Museo Nazionale Romano talmente grande che ha 4 sedi pari per importanza ai Musei Vaticani. Galleria Nazionale di arte antica di Palazzo Barberini (Filippo Lippi, Perugino, Piero di Cosimo, Raffaello, Andrea del Sarto, Tiziano, Lotto, Tintoretto, El Greco, Caravaggio, Reni, Guercino, Bernini, Algardi, Ribera, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto, Boucher, Fragonard, Batoni, Von Maron, Caffieri, Corradini, Subleyras, Marco Ricci, Ceruti, ecc.ecc. ) Galleria Nazionale di arte antica di Palazzo Corsini (Giovanni da Milano, Beato Angelico, Caravaggio, Reni, Guercino, Murillo, Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens, Ribera, Piazzetta, ecc.ecc. ) Galleria Borghese (Bernini, Ribera, Rubens, Tiziano, Lotto, Raffaello, Caravaggio, Reni, Guercino, Antonello da Messina, Giovanni Bellini, Canova, Andrea del Sarto, Veronese ecc.ecc. ) Galleria Nazionale di arte moderna (Canova, Appiani, Romney, Raeburn, Hayez, Courbet, Monet, Cézanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Rodin, Bourdelle, Sorolla, Medardo Rosso, Fattori, Lega, Segantini, Klimt, Schiele, Boldini, Modigliani, Boccioni, Balla, Carrà, Morandi, De Chirico, Braque, Kandinskij, Klee, Mirò, Tamayo, Dix, Grosz, ecc.ecc. ) Poi non bisogna dimenticare che Roma è anche un laboratorio dell'architettura moderna con opere di Pier Luigi Nervi, Hadid, Meyer, Fuksas, Piano, ecc.ecc.

[@tri80895i]

I can not believe that you suggest no to go to Campo dei Fiori, all the guides and art historians suggest going to visit it because it is a masterpiece. It is full of interesting things to see and tourists arrive every day from all over the world. it is a lively square in the hearte of the city , it is not a jewel inside a casket, it is normal that after the wonderful market (which all the guides recommend seeing) the square still needs to be cleaned..the same thing for the spanish square, it's a masterpiece for the whole world.. it's incredible to hear these things

[@UltimateBucketList]

You might like it, but for me it held nothing significant or interesting. Please respect my opinion as it is my video.

[@len801]

You can't cover everything in Rome in a three day trip or a 30-minute video. 🙂 I think this video is perfect for the first or second time visitor and they would likely stumble on some of the other sights by accident, which makes it more memorable. I went out for walk around 10 PM on my first night in Rome and I could hear water. Turned the corner and had my first ever view of the Trevi fountain. It sent chills down my spine.

[@giulianoradice4715]

​@@UltimateBucketList Nella piazza di Campo dei Fiori fu bruciato vivo un grande filosofo Giordano Bruno (anno 1600). Due secoli dopo fu eretta in suo onore una statua. Questo monumento suscitò molte polemiche in tutta Europa. Alcuni erano contrari , altri favorevoli a onorare questo filosofo. Tra i favorevoli c'erano Giosue Carducci, Ibsen, V. Hugo.

[@yzwoody]

What’s good in the San Giovanni area

[@UltimateBucketList]

Apart from the Basilica, there's Terme Di Caracalla, which are some ancient Roman Baths and there's a few nice restaurants and bars around there. A short walk away, there's even a pyramid! I think there's lots to do around ther.e
