6 Beautiful things do in Rome, Italy
Rome is one of those cities that stays with you. Even if you’re just passing through, there’s something magical about wandering its ancient streets and letting yourself fall into the rhythm of Italian life—even for just a day.
1. Visit Colosseum
Start your day with the big one. The Colosseum is powerful, even in its stillness. I recommend getting there early before the crowds roll in. Walk around it slowly. Step inside if you can. Book your ticket in advance so you can skip the line <3
2. Make a wish at the Trevi Fountain
It’s touristy, yes. But also undeniably enchanting. There’s something about the sound of the water, the way the marble glows in the sunlight, and the little moment of magic as you toss a coin over your shoulder and make a wish. Go early or just after sunset—it’s quieter.
3. Visit Pantheon
Step inside and look up. The Pantheon is over 2,000 years old, but still feels timeless. The oculus—the open circle at the top of the dome—lets in natural light (and sometimes rain), creating a soft, sacred stillness.
4. Slow Down at Piazza Navona
Wander over to Piazza Navona, one of my favorite open-air spots in Rome. Street artists, fountains, live music, espresso, and many nice restaurants.
5. Eat Real Italian Gelato
Not just any gelato—the real kind. Italian Gelato is the best!
6. End the day at the Spanish steps
As the sun begins to set, head to the Spanish Steps. Climb them slowly. Turn around and take in the rooftops and warm colors of the city in golden light. Sit. Breathe. Take a photo.
Love only <3
