About Rome, Italy

Rome doesn't reveal itself to people in a hurry, which is precisely why it rewards the luxury traveler willing to linger. This is a city where a single piazza can hold more beauty than entire countries, where dinner starts at 9 PM and nobody apologizes for it, and where a wrong turn down a cobblestone alley leads to a fresco-covered chapel that isn't in any guidebook. Forget checking boxes — Rome is about surrendering to a rhythm of life that has been perfected over millennia.

6 Experiences Worth Flying Business Class For
1. A Private After-Hours Walk Through the Vatican Museums

The Vatican with 30,000 daily visitors is a gorgeous nightmare. The Vatican with 20 people and a world-class art historian guiding you through the Raphael Rooms...

by evening light is a life-altering experience. Book through official Vatican channels or a vetted operator like Walks of Italy's exclusive-access program — you'll stand alone beneath the Sistine Chapel ceiling and feel Michelangelo's intent in the silence.

Sunday Lunch at Roscioli, Then a Digestivo You'll Never Forget
Roscioli near Campo de' Fiori is technically a salumeria, wine bar, and restaurant fused into one obsessive temple of Italian sourcing — their cacio e pepe is the benchmark against which all others are measured. What most visitors miss is the wine cellar downstairs, where the Roscioli family will pour you obscure natural wines from producers who make 200 cases a year. Follow it with an amaro at Barnum Café on Via del Pellegrino, where Rome's creative class actually drinks.
3
A Morning at Galleria Borghese Before the World Wakes Up
This is the most beautifully curated museum in the world, and it's not particularly close. Bernini's Apollo and Daphne alone justifies a transatlantic flight — the marble literally looks like it's moving. Reservations are mandatory and limited to two-hour windows; book the first slot at 9 AM, arrive five minutes early, and you'll have Canova's Paolina Borghese nearly to yourself before the second wave floods in.
4
Checking Into Hotel de Russie and Doing Absolutely Nothing
The secret garden at Hotel de Russie, tucked between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, is the single best place in Rome to do nothing with extraordinary intention. Order a Negroni from the Stravinskij Bar, sit among the terraced orange trees, and understand why Picasso and Cocteau once made this their Roman living room. If de Russie is full, the Rocco Forte group also runs the equally stunning Hotel de la Ville up the hill — ask for a room facing the dome of St. Peter's.
5
Trastevere at Dusk, but Skip the Tourist Traps
Everyone goes to Trastevere and most people eat badly there — the neighborhood's charm has made it a magnet for mediocre restaurants coasting on atmosphere. Cross the main drag and head deeper into the quieter streets south of Viale di Trastevere to find Trattoria Da Teo, where the fried artichokes are transcendent and Romans actually outnumber tourists. Walk it off along the Tiber as the streetlights hit the water and the dome of St. Peter's glows amber in the distance.
6
A Day Trip to the Appian Way by Private Driver, Ending at a Country Estate
Hire a driver and escape Rome via the Appian Way, the ancient highway lined with crumbling tombs, umbrella pines, and an almost eerie stillness that makes the city feel centuries away. Stop at the Catacombs of San Callisto when they open to avoid school groups, then continue south to the Castelli Romani hill towns — specifically Castel Gandolfo, the pope's former summer residence overlooking a volcanic lake. End at Poggio Le Volpi winery in Frascati for a private tasting lunch that costs a fraction of what you'd pay for half the quality in central Rome.
When to Go Show ↓
Peak Season
April to June, September to October
Rome's true peak is a split season — spring and early autumn, when the light is golden, the temperature hovers around a perfect 70°F, and the city is at its most photogenic. Easter week and late September are particularly intense, with hotel rates at their zenith and every major site operating at capacity. It's peak for a reason: this is Rome at its most seductive, and if you book three months ahead and secure early-morning museum entries, the crowds become manageable.

Shoulder Season
March, November
March can be unpredictable — cool mornings, occasional rain, but the wisteria starts blooming on ancient walls and the tourist infrastructure is fully open without the crush. November is Rome's true insider month: restaurant reservations are effortless, hotel suites drop 30-40% in price, and the city takes on a moody, cinematic quality that feels like a Fellini film. Pack layers and an umbrella, and you'll be rewarded with a Rome that feels like it belongs to you.
