The cat sanctuary is my favourite place in Rome. Bless the volunteers who work there ❤❤❤❤

@@paulcapaccio9905 yes, I had totally forgotten that! I visited it about 15 years ago. Glad to see the cat sanctuary is still there

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

Amazing - touring around Europe before Covid, I didn't queue for anything in Rome. Incredible how many people are travelling now.

[@visionvalue100]

How lovely to see Alicja with you. Two of my most favourite people on KZbin.

[@petequesada2936]

What a GREAT video. It's as though I was walking beside you two and seeing the sights from your prospective. Thank you.

[@Gez-C]

I was in Rome a couple of weeks after you, it looks like you had similar weather to us, warm and sunny! It was an overwhelming place with the stunning architecture and historical places! It certainly bought back really happy memories ❤

[@marcoarmenia218]

classical architecture in Italy excites me a lot, it's really beautiful to see, I prefer this to modern cities full of skyscrapers

[@donlogan9158]

Great to see Rome again from a tourists view. We loved it back in 2016. And it was around the same time of year! Thanks both of you. Don+Jen.

[@mariopoliti3072]

That was a great vlog, especially as I am going to Rome on march for my 50th birthday, cant wait to go , grazie Steve e Alicja, e stato meraviglioso 👏🏻🇮🇹

[@BobG127]

Yet another great video. Steve, I've said it before and I'll say it again: you're my favorite KZbinr. That said, I am reminded by today's video of something my elementary school history teacher said: "Behind every great man is a great woman." Whether she's a wise sounding board, someone who offers ideas, or just keeps the man grounded, her influence is often greater than outsiders know. When you bring Alicja along in your adventures, it's fairly obvious that she's all of the above. May both of you always be the most important part of each other's world. Thanks for sharing.

[@maydanlex]

Just a quick tip...if you move 'inland' by just a bit the prices go down. I paid 6 Euro for a ham and swiss croissant, a chocolate croissant and a large cappuccino. By inland I mean back from the main corner of the intersection. Love the video, glad you posted it!

[@lala-ct9ir]

You in general need to avoid the tourist areas and you'll find the best places to eat.

[@barvdw]

And remember, often you pay extra for sitting outside, or even sitting at all. The cheap shots of espresso are consumed standing at the counter, with or without a cornetto (a cream-filled croissant like Steve and Alicija had). If you go sit outside, it's immediately double the price...

[@curtbonnell4308]

Watching your video takes me right back to my visit, I did so many of the same sights. Steve you are so right, EVERYWHERE you look in Rome there's some history to look at. Great job.

[@islandbreeze2102]

Steve this is excellent footage of Rome. I felt as if I was right there alongside the two of you. I love that you do not add annoying loud music to your videos and that we can hear the sounds of the city and it's people. It really felt as if I was walking around Rome myself. Thank you for another great relaxing entertainment.

[@barbcarlson4219]

I agree

[@brianbuzzen]

Very enjoyable day. The man with the bin banging past your table gave me a laugh. Nice to see you two travelling together. Thank you, cheers.

[@ingonowack3839]

Danke!

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@soulstorm_music]

Rome!!! My favourite City. At 2 minutes 50ish you walked through the Piazza Della Madonna, my favourite place in the City. It's an awesome place to hang out at at night. All the locals sit on the steps around the fountain and drink and socialise. I wrote a poem about the place, I love it so much ❤

[@ElizabethDavis-r5s]

Thanks again for a great video. You two are my favourite youtubers. Thank you for bringing back memories of Rome that I did 12 years ago.

[@Summysun624]

what a great video! i love Alicja's sense of humour, you two are so quick witted and you bounce off each other really well!

[@ricka1939]

Thanks for this Video and the one to Civitivecchia! My wife and I were there from Oct 30 to Nov 3 and seeing your video was a lot of fun!

[@graemefoxworthy2785]

Great video. We were in Rome just the other week, for the first time too. Absolutely loved it. I think we walked about 10 miles every day. Managed to visit most of the places we wanted to, and also managed a trip out to Ostia. Found some great bars and restaurants and met some really nice people. I think that was the surprising thing, the locals were keen to talk to us and not treat us as just another tourist. Late night conversations over drinks until the bars closed, numbers exchanged. Managed to persuade some guys that they should go to Glasgow for their friends' stag do. Bar owners remembering us and giving us tips on where to eat. I decided to be a bit more adventurous with my meals, and ventured into the cucina povera side of the menus. Tripe, oxtail and beef cheeks were all consumed. Absolutely cracking city and can't wait to go back again.

[@tonylarussa4046]

The river is called the Tiber. Rome is under construction for 2 reasons. Reason 1 is that they are extending the metro. And reason 2 is that the Catholic church is having a Jubilee year in 2025. Those weren't Italians queueing. Those were tourists.

[@MrWiseman91]

I am in Rome right now, a weekend away from Bucharest and this video was such a surprise. After all the steps during the day, to see your video in the evening. Great video as usual!🎉

[@ruthfrench]

So good to see you both having a wee break together. You have been away on your own a lot recently, Steve. Wonderful grey Saturday morning entertainment!

[@robertblechle6365]

Rome is the “eternal “ city Sooo much to do and see. Overwhelming in the word that pops to mind. But walking in the back streets is key to enjoying Rome. Wander and let it happen

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

You covered Rome well in just one day, and I liked the stereotypical check-list idea.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers mate! It was fun to make but boy was that a busy, loud city!

[@koreainsincere]

Rome is absolutely breathtaking, an open air museum. Love it to bits.

[@richardlowe8664]

I’ve just woke up to a Steve Marsh video. Life is suddenly good.

[@johnericneil2455]

Love Rome, and it was great to see places I've visited before. Thanks for taking us along.

I was just there for 4 days, 1 week after you! Enormous crowds, weather was A+. Enjoyed it greatly

[@karenbateson8852]

Fab video, would love to go to Rome, have done the Italian lakes. Once you've had pizza in Italy, nothing else comes close. Great to see Alicja again.

Fascinating ! Thanks for sharing both !

[@ScottishT]

You two are just perfect, great vlog ❤

[@judymcgovern8454]

Thanks for sharing this trip Steve. Rome is one of our favourite places, been quite a few times, my husband proposed to me there , over looking the forum from the Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II. Pity you were not there longer as there is so much more to see. I couldn’t believe the amount of building works going on just now. Naples is also a great place to go, a bit more gritty but so much to see and do. Xx

We are just catching up on all the vids we did watch some while away but again thankyou both regards Doc

Yes. You can't miss the Torre Argentina. Just follow your nose (literally)

[@robertgarcia2469]

Great video Steve. You have inspired my wife and I to do a little traveling out of the United States. We are headed from Phoenix Arizona to London England next month. No plans just going to arrive and go for it. We are also going to do our first Long haul flight

[@i10gal]

Great video and lovely to see Alicja again 😀

[@MrGreatplum]

Rome is stunning isn’t it? It’s on my list! My parents went a few years ago with their friends who were both teachers - one in archaeology and the other in classics - they got some wonderful guided tours!

Wow!! Rome is awesome!!! Thankyou both for showing us! 💜

Same for me when I went many years ago, walked everywhere and in August those drinking water fountains were much needed. Too much to see in a long weekend. Cheers!

Great timing to watch this video - I'm going there in Feb next year so it gave me a preview!

[@artistinlederhosen]

i’m heading there in may from oregon.

[@gregsanders9585]

I've watched quite a few tourist-made videos of Rome but yours reminds me of my visit more than any of them. Well done ! Best, most enjoyable half and hour I've had on KZbin for yonks.

[@michaelagarland8284]

One of my best friends is from Italy and she would love this view of Roma! Well done you two❤

[@simonwhitlock9189]

Thank you thank you thank you both so very much for this video, I was six years old travelling from the UK to Australia on board the P & O ship Iberia and we stopped in Rome and thus began my love of architecture, we went to the Coliseum and the Vatican the Spanish Steps and so many other places that simply took my breath away. Probably a strange interest for a six year old to have but even then I was taken by the beauty and magnificence of these stunning places, I will watch this video a couple more times tonight and dip into it many times over I am sure. Thank you both so much ,the emotions that have run through me while watching have been fantastic. As always take care you wonderful pair and stay safe, cheers from Oz.

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for this :)

[@sandiandgregh]

Wonderful day out but, wow, busy! We spent our time in Milan and Como. Had the best meal of our lives at a place outside of Milan. Can’t remember the name but we remember the meal. :)

[@kosamui]

Lovely, positive video! Well done! 👏🏻

[@jonathanhopkins4042]

My favourite place, did a lot of work there over the years - can only watch this in bits because of the nostalgia is ovewwhelming me as I sit on an island in the Irish sea in the aftermath of the latest storm. BTW Alicia the coliseum had a canvas roof that could be deployed according to the weather/ If you want to go to Rome without the tourists try late July -early October.

[@strollingthroughparadise353]

I was lucky to go to Rome in 2021. There were so few people there. So much nicer to visit then.

[@madhousetas]

It felt like I was there with you folk - thanks so much. Barney from Launceston, Tasmania

[@RuthPettit-vy7pq]

Beautiful video . Rome looks amazing .. you keep going to places on my list !!! Really enjoyed it cheers to both of you .

Another great video thanks both! Missed the ‘pause for Steve’s notes’ at the end, they are always really useful!

[@TheWanderingEggs]

It's always fantastic to tag along with you both for a little adventure on a rainy Saturday morning - great stuff guys!

[@marcy3127]

Wow its certainly chaotic great video you two!!❤❤

[@robertshelton9881]

Be sure to see The Pantheon, a fabulous building built in Roman times, and still in use.

[@Transterra55]

I love Rome… One of the best days I had in Rome is when I got lost… Got some great photographs… Love your video!

[@att61y]

Another great video Steve, just what i needed after trying to prop up fences in the face of storm Darragh😂.

[@colinraine8245]

Absolutely loved watching this tour around Rome with you two..l went a few years ago and must return . I loved the fact it's a city you can walk around from ancient attraction to cafe to more historic buildings ( like York but much bigger ) I was blown away by The Pantheon..hope you saw that ..famous Roman food l was hoping you would try .. Spaghetti Carbonara and from the jewish quarter battered fried fish and also artichokes. Enjoy the rest of your trip ... hoping for a Rome Pt 2 🙏😊

[@susanvaughan4210]

Besides the continual visual feasts, the busy Rome soundscape is perfect!

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Excellent video, epic scenery!! Definitely lucked out on the weather. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves

[@drumtum]

Rome is like a second home for me. I have been lucky enough of going there from Sweden almost every year since the early 2000 since my aunt has a house in Lazio. It is one amazing city.

[@omidrahmani9692]

Well done Steve........ A true tourist.... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jennyoshea1958]

I think I had a 'romanticised' image of Rome, so your video has prepared me for the reality of lots of construction, steel barriers in front of historic buildings, traffic and masses of people. Being slightly claustrophobic; I personally need the reality to prepare myself for the shock of the real. The old architecture is magnificent but of course, I must remember; we live in modern times. Thank you both for sharing your walkabout with us.

[@lala-ct9ir]

You can stroll around at a leisurely pace in the late afternoon and evening and it's completely different. St. Peter's for example is often not crowded at all if you avoid the tourist rush times. Purchasing online tickets in advance also helps.

[@jennyoshea1958]

@lala-ct9ir thank you ✨🙏👌

[@andrea-v2s]

as a roman if you are planning to visit my city i suggest to you do it in 2026 when the Giubileo (Jubilee) will be over.....Roma will be cheeper and less crowded and if you will have time enough to visit not only the most famous touristic attraction ask me beautiful glimpses of a non-touristy Roma and suggestions on where to eat without ending up in expensive and dubious quality tourist restaurants

[@baseballfan99]

I went to Rome 23 years ago on a Interrail trip and whilst it was August and busy it was easy to enter the sites without major queues. Budget airlines have certainly made travel a lot cheaper and easier but in the most popular places it certainly brings the crowds.

[@imsbvs]

I was in Rome last May, stop over on a cruise, took the train to that railway station and the taxi from there went past the Colosseum, the congestion was almost impossible. Couldn't stay long, ships don't wait if passengers get back late! Will be back for a short stay soon, loving what you showed, has given me great inspriation for what can be walked in a day. I doubt I wil achieve over 30k daily steps, but will be close!

[@zweispurmopped]

Terry Prachett was thinking of Rome when he described the biggest city of his magic Discworld novels, Ankh Morpork. A city that consisted of layers of buildings on top of buildings with nearly endless catacombs underneath. And that´s just how Rome is. Ace video! 🤗

[@Finse1605]

Last went to Rome in 1995 and it didn't seem as crowded back then. The Piazza Navona was my favourite place there. The Vittoriano I believe is known as the wedding cake by the Romans. Glad to see Alicja in the video.

[@mackay4740]

Going to Rome in September, from Australia. Great realistic view of Rome thanks guys.

[@rabh6746]

Spectacular place but way too busy for me, thanks for the tour Steve and Alicja😊

[@barball3955]

Thank you so much for this video, so many memories from my surprise trip from my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary (almost 25 years ago). Poor health has stopped our travel, but so many memories. My favourite city. St Peter's just blew my mind so much bigger and more impressive in real life than on screen. Build those memories Steve, much as we enjoy your videos, take time without the camera for you and Alicia. Excuse me now while I wallow in nostalgia and wipe a tear from my eye.

[@steve-marsh]

I think you caught it in a good era :)

[@beverlyzimmermann5868]

My first trip was 25 years ago, right after my.husband passed away, a friend talked me into going, and I never stopped traveling until now age has caught up

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I’ve been to Rome three times…and it’s not enough. Looks like late October is a fantastic time to go there, at least you were blessed with the weather. Yes, it’s intense, but as long as you accept that fact, you do fine. Great to see you and Alicja having such a lovely day there. Looking forward to the next! Cheers, and ATB!

[@sallyelling9329]

You are so luck to have been to all these wonderful place but on the other hand I am lucky to have seen them through your eyes else I would have never seen them at all. Keep up the good work and good luck from Ireland

[@oggie1967]

Ah the eternal city! One of my favourite cities in the world. Shame the Trevi fountain wasnt at its best as it is simply stunning. We stayed in the Monte area, near wher Julius Caesar was born, our hotel was built in the 1400s! Those water spigots in the streets are supplied ith fresh water from the surrounding mountains by genuine Roman aqueducts. Never had a bad meal there, the food,the wine, bellisimo! Glad you two enjoyed it & thanks for the memories! Ciao!👍👏👏♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@terryshilstone9254]

Thanx for another excellent video Steve, Rome looked amazing and of course always good to see beautiful Alicja by your side

[@StevePorter_au]

We spent three nights in Rome a few years ago, close to the station like you. One thing that amazed us was the fact you'd be wandering along a normal street, turn a corner and there's a few thousand year old building. Most of the ancient stuff we saw, Circus Maximus, Trevi Fountain, etc, we just stumbled upon. We loved Rome and could have easily spent a whole week there.
