About Rome
Rome is an open-air museum where 2,700 years of history exist alongside modern Italian life. The Colosseum, the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain — they're spectacular and worth seeing. But Rome's soul lives in its neighborhoods: Trastevere's winding streets and trattorie, Testaccio's market and real Roman cuisine, Monti's boutiques and aperitivo bars, Ostiense's street art and nightlife. A Local Friend in Rome takes you to the trattoria where the cacio e pepe is made by a grandmother who learned from her grandmother, the gelateria that uses real pistachios, and the piazza where Romans gather at sunset with an Aperol spritz.
