Rome when the Pope passes Please forgive any insensitivity in this question, I’m purely curious and trying to game plan. I have a Rome trip booked in the near future, including Vatican City tour. With the Pope’s health, and not wishing anything negative to happen, but he is quite old and on a ventilator.. If the worst case occurs, what is it like in Rome? Has anyone on …
should i stay in Rome or Madrid? (for 5 months) Where would I have more fun? I only speak English, though I probably will attempt to pick up some of the local language. Is Rome too chaotic and hard to navigate for someone inexperienced at solo traveling? I’ve heard Madrid is more of a party city so it might have more Erasmus potential, and apparently has a slightly lower cost of living? Any i…

Rome Appreciation Post Sometimes I go back and watch certain scenes that I love from various shows, and whenever I get to Rome and watch Kevin McKidd/Ray Stevenson/Ciarán Hinds and others act I can’t help but think that this show has the best cast and acting that’s ever been put together. It also has a TON of amazing scenes that I just cannot wait to see. I’ve watched…
HBO’s Rome (2005) is a masterpiece Started watching this on a whim and I’m close to season 1 finale. I don’t know how season 2 rolls but season 1 is literally HBO at its very best. I’ve always praised The Sopranos for making you feel like the characters in the story are real people but Rome takes it to the next level. I care so much about these characters that I’m dreading each …
Avoid Rome during the jubilee? Me and my bf (28 and 38) are going on our first eurotrip together. We land in Madrid on May 13 and we take off from there on May 30. We’re definitely going to stay with a friend in Cologne for a couple of days so, apart from Spain and Germany, we’re thinking of going to Italy for a few days.

Solo Trip to Rome I’m planning on doing a solo trip to Rome in June and I have a few questions I would like clarification on! I went to Germany in high school as an exchange trip (15 years ago), so the planning part of the trip is new to me. Thank you in advance! Is a week enough time to do Rome and potentially see Herculaneum or other parts of Italy? Is it bett…

I just had my phone stolen in the Rome metro tl;dr Never keep your phone, wallet or anything of value in your pockets. I’m writing this because this is my first time getting pickpocketed and I’ve always wondered how they actually do it. Now I know, so I’m offering you the chance to learn from my mistake, since just telling someone “You should watch your stuff in the metro” doesn’t actually…
Athens or Rome for 3 days Hello! I am planning to meet some friends in Istanbul in late November, but I have a few extra days at the beginning of the trip. I’d like to take this time to see another city, and for logistical reasons I’ve narrowed it down to these two cities. I was originally just looking at Athens, but the only flight from the country I’m in has a layover…

Would you split a two weeks + stay in Rome with a few days in the country? I’m off to Rome at the end of October – well, Rome and who knows what else, I don’t really have deadlines or set ideas. So maybe Naples and Sicily later? South will be warmer and I like that. Anyway, for now I booked a hotel for 4 days and then another one for a week but I have a 3 days “hole” between those two reservations. Should I find yet a…
Berlin to Rome Travel Ideas I’m flying into Berlin on September 27 and out of Rome on October 10. Hitting Munich for Oktoberfest and spending a day or two in Florence are high on my to-do list, but otherwise I’m open to suggestions. Considering Prague and Hallstatt as potentials. I would consider myself to be a fast-moving budget traveler. I mostly stay in hostels and can…

Traveling to Rome Fiumicino Best way to get to Rome Airport at 2 AM. Is frenow or Uber app reliable at that hour? I’m afraid no driver at that hour shows up and I end up not having how to arrive to the airport, since the train is not working that late Thanks submitted by /u/ComprehensiveFly4647
