AN EFFORTLESS GUIDE TO RELOCATING TO ITALY'S CAPITAL ROME
Introduction
Cost of Living
Of course, there are ways to keep costs down if you're careful. For instance, consider staying in a hostel or Airbnb rather than a hotel and eating at local trattorias instead of tourist traps. With lighter research, it's possible to enjoy all Rome offers without breaking the bank.
Transportation Tips
The public transportation system is excellent and includes both buses and trains. If you're staying in the city center, you can quickly get around by bus. The Roma Pass is an excellent option for those who plan to use public transportation frequently during their stay. The pass provides unlimited access to both buses and trains, as well as discounts on many attractions.
If you're renting a car, remember that driving can be challenging. The streets are often crowded and confusing, and parking might be a challenge as well as expensive. As a result, consider using a car service instead of renting a car or taking a taxi when necessary.
Shopping and Dining Options
Exploring Historic Sites and Attractions
The city's historic center is a wonderful place to start exploring the city. This area is home to many of Rome's most famous sights, including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon. Visitors can also find plenty of less-famous but equally interesting sights in this area, such as the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin (which houses the famous Bocca Della Verità or Mouth of Truth sculpture) and the Trajan's Column. If you're interested in learning more about history, there are several excellent museums in this area, such as the National Museum of Rome and the Capitoline Museums.
When it comes to food, the city has something for everyone. In addition to traditional Italian cuisine, visitors can find many international dining options. For a truly unique dining experience, check out any food market. Here you'll find fresh produce, meats, cheeses, breads, and more - perfect for grabbing a quick bite or picnic lunch. Some of our favorite markets include Campo de' Fiori and Testaccio Market.
Of course, only a visit to Rome would be complete with taking some time to enjoy la dolce vita.
Getting Involved with the Community
One terrific way to do this is by exploring some of the city's lesser-known neighborhoods. The Trastevere district is a great place to start, full of character and charm. Another option is to head to the Testaccio area, known for its lively nightlife.
If you're looking for something more cultural, why not check out some of the many museums and galleries? The Capitoline Museum is a must-visit, while the Galleria Borghese is perfect for art lovers. And if you want to get a taste of glorified history, then take a tour of the ancient ruins at Pompeii or Herculaneum.
Of course, only a move to Rome would be complete with indulging in some of its delicious food. Make sure to try out some traditional dishes like spaghetti alla carbonara or saltimbocca alla romana. And remember gelato - you'll find some of the best in the city!
