Who it’s perfect for:
This guide is for you if…
- You have 1–2 nights in Rome and want to see the essentials without feeling like you’re sprinting from sight to sight.
- You like clear, realistic routes that group sights together so you’re not backtracking all over the city.
- You want an interactive map + daily walking routes, with metro/bus pointers when your feet need a break.
- You appreciate practical extras like public toilet pins, accessible alternates and a small packing & apps cheat sheet.
- You’re a weekend-break / mini-trip traveler who wants maximum Rome in minimal time.
This guide is not for you if…
- You only have one full day – in that case, Rome in a Day is a better match.
- You have 3+ full days and want slower pacing with more neighborhoods – the Three Days in Rome guide is built for that.
- You’re looking for a museum-only or food-tour-only experience instead of a mix of classics, viewpoints and local corners.

Ciao, I’m Maria – a techie by day and an Italy explorer at heart, living in Rome for over 10 years. My happiest days involve unhurried strolls through hidden courtyards, bites at bustling markets, and dinners in tiny trattorie with handwritten menus. Whether rambling along the lungomare or wandering mountain trails, I’m always chasing those effortlessly special moments that only Italy can offer, often with my four-legged travel CEO at my side, sniffing out the city’s best-kept secrets.
With a small team of local friends and contributors, I share calm routes, authentic eats, and small discoveries, one market, meal, and neighborhood gem at a time.
