When you organize a trip to Rome and start dreaming of living magnificent experiences in magical places, you start to ask yourself both what you want to see and visit, but also what kind of experiences you want to live. Modern travelers are very interested in immersing themselves in the real life of a local, they want to eat like a local, drink like a local, walk like a local and maybe even relax like a local.

Start planning your experiences and trips to Rome 

Rome is a very safe city in which to walk relaxed without running serious safety risks. Therefore, it is also very simple to move from the most touristy places to live immersive experiences in maximum safety in the authentic Rome frequented by the Romans on a daily basis. Obviously given the high presence of tourists everywhere, it is always necessary to take precautions against pickpockets and avoid trusting too much in those who offer strange deals only to tourists.

The city can be easily visited on foot, but sometimes to move to the more peripheral points of interest you need to take a bus or the subway, fortunately without too much difficulty. But it is also true that you can now get around the city using bike sharing or rental scooters. What a charm to travel around Rome on a Vespa!

If you are organizing your trip to Rome full of experiences and emotions, you will certainly need good advice on how to satisfy these needs without running into banal tourist catcher clichés. We are here to help you.

The perfect seasons to choose to visit Rome 

You will surely have wondered what the best season to visit Rome might be. Is it better to visit in summer or spring? Is it better to avoid winter and autumn or perhaps there are advantages to choosing these periods? The truth is that it depends a lot on what you expect, what you are looking for and what type of traveler you are.

• In summer there are wonderful days, without rain and with magnificent colors, you can travel lighter and find great comfort in evening and night walks. Perhaps prices are higher than in other seasons, given the very high number of tourists in the city. In August, however, the number of places and shops open decreases because many Italians go on holiday and some services may be less available. Furthermore, if you don’t like high temperatures and humidity, you may want to choose other periods, such as spring or autumn. In summer, as in other seasons, it is possible to visit the city on foot, perhaps by taking part in Insideat food tours, organized to offer fascinating itineraries in just a few hours between famous places and less traveled routes. During these experiences it is possible to visit the architectural beauties of the city and stop to taste the best food and wine specialties of the Italian capital in the places frequented by the Romans themselves. Imagine discovering the best of historic neighborhoods like Trastevere, Testaccio or Campo de’ Fiori with the Pantheon and the Jewish Quarter (Ghetto). Book your experiences with Insideat now!

• From March to May and from September to the end of November Rome enjoys a mild and pleasant weather more similar to a continental summer, there are usually fewer tourists and you can visit the city more comfortably. Nature explodes with its colors and scents. In the city parks and archaeological areas, you can experience truly exciting walks and this is the best time to visit the Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) and the Roseto Comunale (Municipal Rose Garden), both located a stone’s throw from the Circus Maximus and the Bocca della Verità. In autumn the possibility of having to deal with some showers of rain increases, but they are not likely to ruin a holiday. Easter and Holy Week in Rome are then unique events to be experienced at the center of Christianity, with their rites and emotions experienced with feeling by the population. Furthermore, Natale di Roma (i.e. Rome’s birthday) is celebrated on 21 April, Liberation Day on 25 April and International Workers’ Day on 1 May, so there are three days of celebration to take part in.

• From the end of November to the end of February is the most convenient period to visit the city without having to deal with the crowds of tourists. The queues to visit museums or points of cultural interest are much shorter than in the summer. The lower sunlight illuminates the architectural beauties in a very different way from summer, giving incredible images and panoramas. The colors of nature in the parks and along the Tiber are truly exciting. City life is very active; shops, services and restaurants are all open and available to welcome travelers, perhaps with more affordable prices, discounts and offers. Then comes the Christmas and New Year period, celebrations that are deeply felt by Italians during which there are many public events to experience in the city. These are perfect times to live immersive experiences in Roman and Italian food and wine culture with Insideat in very beautiful locations in the center of Rome, not far from the Vatican Museums. During these cooking classes you will be able to learn how to prepare pizza, pasta, gelato or tiramisu. Click on the linked words to find out how to participate and book these fantastic experiences.

What else can you experience and achieve by organizing trips to Rome 

Although Rome is a large city that requires many days if not entire weeks to visit it all, it is also true that there is much more within reach just a few kilometers  from the city. First of all, the Castelli Romani area, i.e. the neighboring towns located on the hills around the city, incredible places to visit for their nature made up of woods and lakes, but also of vineyards and olive groves where you can eat and drink well. For example, with Insideat you can experience a pasta class with wine tasting in a Castelli Romani winery. Click here to book!
