Uncover new passions as you fall in love with Rome's charming, noisy chaos and highly emotional culture. Led by their hearts, Italians highly value time with family and friends.

What to do in Rome
- Colosseum: Travel to Roman times and the era of gladiators as you tour the ruins of the 80,000-seat amphitheater, site of many types of blood sports. The Romans even flooded the arena for mock naval battles with 30 ships.
- Sistine Chapel: Let Michelangelo's stunning frescos and extensive artwork inspire you in the chapel where new popes are chosen.
- Trastevere neighborhood: Walk the winding streets in this ancient neighborhood and see authentic Roman life played out on its narrow streets. During the evening, visit the cafés and bars that give the area an energetic nightlife.
- Trevi Fountain: Toss a coin over your shoulder for good luck at the lavish fountain that has appeared in several films, including La Dolce Vita.
- Piazza Navona: Surround yourself with history in the 15th-century square boasting monumental fountains, churches, and palaces.
Every night in Rome, I went to bed late, according to the typical Roman schedule. I don't know how they do it, but in Rome, nothing is ever upsetting or stressful. I wake up every morning excited for what the day has to offer—all the beautiful cobblestone streets I will walk on, all the 1-euro cappuccinos I will drink, all the leopard print clothing I will browse (but not buy) in the Roberto Cavalli store. I love it here. Ciao for now.
