Buongiorno!
Today we’re strolling through Rome,the Eternal City where espresso breaks are sacred and every corner smells faintly of history (and pecorino). The cobblestones echo with vespas, laughter, and the promise of another perfect plate of pasta.
Today’s Place
Trastevere - the bohemian soul of Rome, with ivy-draped façades and trattorie that spill onto cobbled lanes. Lose yourself in the golden hour light reflecting off ochre walls.

If You Go
Trastevere is best explored at sunset when lanterns glow and musicians fill the streets. Most shops open around 10 AM; check restaurant hours before wandering hungry.
