Unforgettable First-Time Travel in Rome 🇮🇹Delicious Roman Food & The Vatican City Rome Travel Vlog

[@laurenmiller2968]

I love the fact that this is a last-minute budget trip! You don't see too many vlogs of trips like these, but it's pretty much the only way I'm ever able to travel. I love seeing all the amazing things you get up to without having planned them months in advance. Also, I've always felt that there's something extra special about traveling on a budget because it forces you to think creatively and try things that aren't traditionally as touristy. So glad I found your channel!

[@catherinekayy]

Hehehe exactly! We always do last min budget trips! It’s the best way to explore and get a bargain ahahah I’m the type to want to go on multiple cheap trips than one super luxurious one 😂🤣 so these are perfect for us!

[@tammieh647]

Wow thanks for sharing so nice to see the statue such beauty.

[@lynnfenwick9347]

I went there with my daughters - we loved it. There is a heck of a climb all the way up to the top of St. Peters. Its is exhausting! Beautiful place to visit and experience history

[@jstanders6973]

Thank you my lovely. Really appreciate your guide notes on the screen. I just love our little cultural trips with you and the gang. I'd love to go there one day.. Sigh 😘🌹

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

Gotta say- I’m an autumn/spring Rome visitor. Too crowded and hot in summer for me. But we’re going near Christmas and I can’t wait to return to my favorite city on Earth.

[@misoandtofustudio]

the statue of voldemort took me out! i love u so much catherine!

[@catherinekayy]

heheh Im glad it made you giggle heheh

[@raquelpazibarria]

Also how she did it. She is seriously talking about the castle and then she goes and drops the line about seeing a statue of Voldemort 🤣 @catherinekayy, you make me giggle as nobody else can!

[@abigailh4109]

I love your Illustration of you visiting Rome. So sweet. Looking forward to the next vlog! 😊

[@linzertube]

We were in Rome in 2004 with our sons, then 9 & 12 years old. Things have NOT changed…it’s still a wonderful experience you will never forget. Endless historic architecture, statues, busts, fountains, crowds, 🍕 , 🍕 , 🍕 …😅. As soon as you pointed your camera at that bust, I’m sure we all thought “Voldemort!”, too.😂. You’re so funny!

[@catherinekayy]

heheh so much to see and too! It's a very chaotic feeling city though 🤣 But fulllll of history!

[@Vintage_Tales_Studio]

I loved all of Italy, France, Holland and Austria! Bavaria was neat too. Glad you had fun CK.

[@Laura-je2uw]

Thank you for taking is along. After being a snob about them when i was young, i started to really appreciate the hop on/hop off sightseeing city tour busses - they are just so convenient and give you a lovely overview of the hot spots of each city, allowing you to hop off where you want and then just take the next one. You do not have to plan which places to include for sightseeing and deal with the metro etc. I am now a complete convert of sightseeing busses - used them for madrid, paris, london, lyon, chicago, boston and san francisco❤❤❤

[@catherinekayy]

Yes! I love hop on hop off buses we’ve done a few in the Uk too and they are great hehe ❤

[@TenTenJ]

Italy is the bottomless pit of artistic beauty, no matter how much one tries to conquer the proverbial tour, it continues to grow and grow and grow 😂😂😂. It is such a beautiful cultural country that there is almost an endless much to see, all you have to do is skip two steps and you’re on top of something beautiful. My favorite is Florence, and equal to that I would say Venice. These feel more contained and consumable. A good and more affordable place to stay in Venice is in Giudecca to have a full on view, and for Florence is just in a quick suburb next door.

[@catherinekayy]

Ohhh I can't wait to hopefully go to Florence, we were meant to do it in this trip but didn't manage to make it! Hopefully one day we will get there hehe

[@adamsartjourney]

My wife and I went to Roma in May as well! What a beautiful city. We did a Roma Segway tour and it was a blast! I highly recommend it.

[@catherinekayy]

Oh my gosh this does sound like fun heeh 🥹🌸

[@VanessaPetiteCo]

I think Rome was my favorite trip, followed by Venice! So much to see, so beautiful!

[@catherinekayy]

Oh wow! I would love to see Venice!

[@relaxingtravel-LosAngeles]

congrats on the Italian trip! we love Italy

[@WendyDewarHughes]

If you’re going to the Forum, start at the top gate, on the hill. When I was there a few years ago, we arrive in the morning and there was only about a ten minute line.

[@catherinekayy]

We had no luck 😂❤ it was completely full for the day! Dammit 😂❤

[@WendyDewarHughes]

@@catherinekayy Aw, that's too bad. Rome is wonderful but it does help to plan ahead. I would also recommend the trip to Ponza Island. We booked with Viator and they were great. We took a fishing boat trip around the island and it was amazing! Have a great time!

[@cynthiam6487]

Beautiful views!! Great vid.

[@serenabrent8832]

Love watching your travel vlogs, and seeing all the lovely places you've visited. Looking forward to your next one. Bye for now. 🙂

Thank you so so much 🥹🥹🥹🌸🌷

oh my goodness thank you so so much 😍

[@huanho9057]

I will come on 5 june, but it seems that it will be cloudy... next year I will surely come in July to have good weather 🌞

[@ashlaire]

I love Rome! I went there back in 2006 and I would love to go back again. There were free tours at the time called "Angel Tours" but I don't know if they are still going. Also, at the time, you could get the tickets for the colosseum in the forums nextdoor with no queue! Again that was 2006 so things might be different now :)

[@catherinekayy]

Ohhh wow, yes we heard about the Forum that could be a great hack to see the colosseum!

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

We bought our tickets to the Vatican and Coliseum online the night before each time I’ve taken friends or family to Rome. But I’m told that booking now has to be weeks or more in advance for either. And the tour companies buy up the tickets once available so often a person has to pay their markup or skip them.

[@diarts4458]

Looks so lovely ❤ I might be going to Rome in February, so I might check out the Skip the line pass. Great vlog as always, see you on your next adventure 🥰🛩️🚈🗺️😘

[@catherinekayy]

Yesss definately take a look at the Roma pass too because you get one free skip the line included which is good value for money! ❤

[@mortderire8354]

I love your romper soo much! Where is it from. You look stunning! Rome is on the list of destinations to visit.

[@catherinekayy]

Oh my goodness thank you! This was just second hand from Vinted, but I think on the tags its just from Primark or something 🤣

[@holospiders]

Hi Catherine!! Loved the vlog, been on such a binge of all of yours recently. I hope you don’t mind me asking where did you get your hair extensions from? Really struggling to grow mine and yours looks so natural ❤

[@catherinekayy]

Oh my goodness thank you! Well the ones Im wearing here are clip ins from Foxy locks hair, but I will say they aren;t the best wuality and knot quite easily :') xxxx

I was reading there weren't many iced coffees available, glad to see y'all got one, did you like it?

[@catherinekayy]

Yes it was delicious! But I love all coffees heheh 😂🌸💕

hello, tell me please, where did you stay? i am looking for an apartment

[@catherinekayy]

I stayed in two different air bnbs would you like the link? Xxxx

[@MystLily]

I'm probably the only person who thinks that place looks dirty and ugly. I love all the places you've gone and my favorite was I think called Lapland the Santa place, that was absolutely amazing but I can rule this off my list of places to see before I die

[@catherinekayy]

Thats totally valid! It's not for everyone, I have to admit, like any major city, it definitely does have it's run down areas, because its so heavily crowded with tourism, it also tends to get messy easy in certain areas, please be aware we were out from the center of Rome, and travelled in, so we were in a residential area, however, Italy is beautiful, and I have some vlogs coming up where we visit less crowded areas like a small town called Lucca, which was stunning! I can see how Rome wouldn't be for everyone though. And your right, Lapland was pure magic!

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

Rome is cheerfully chaotic. I absolutely love the city, but if order and cleanliness are your taste Italy still has choices. The farther north you go the more orderly public spaces are. The smaller towns are more orderly than the cities. And they are charming. Bologna, Milano, Lucca and the Tuscan hill towns are all pretty and pleasant without the crowds and lines in Rome. Lucca has nice vacation apartments, biking on the old city walls and a short train to Florence or Pisa if wanted. Avoid Venice. It’s a lot of walking and getting lost, quite expensive and in summer smells a bit from stagnant lagoon water. (I don’t say nobody should go to Venice. I enjoy it. But it sounds not your taste. ). It’s also old and to a certain taste looks a bit dilapidated. The food and art and architecture in Italy are worth the visit in my opinion but Italy will never be as ordered and clean as charming Bavaria or Switzerland.

[@Alex_Rome]

Speaking about cleanliness, I traveled the world but the only place where I found bugs in my bed it was in a 4 stars hotel in London

[@walter_the_danger]

@@taetenmin4009 LMAO human stupidity at its best... imagine ruling an entire country off your list because of one city
