The end of summer is when travel deals to Europe start to pop back up again as people begin to back to work and school from vacation.
Making a trip at the end of summer means that you get to enjoy those popular destinations in decent weather without the crowds.
Rome is one of those places. As Italy’s capital city, it never gets old.
For those new to Rome, the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and St. Peter’s Basilica are things you must-see. It’s sort of like a rite of passage and no matter how many posts you see on social media, their beauty is just something you have to witness up close and personal.
For those of you not new to Rome, it’s time to get out and explore. You can start with a trip to Trastevere.
Located south of Vatican City, this neighborhood is home to The Basilica of Santa Maria, restaurants, and local shops. It’s known to be a neighborhood that’s quieter than Rome with cheaper and authentic food.
Another place to head if you’re looking for a new experience outside of Rome is to Tivoli.
Head to the Villa d’Este for the beautiful waterfalls and famous hillside garden.
