Welcome to Sasha's Rome Travel Guide - a detailed online guidebook on health, transportation, emergency contacts, tipping, staying in touch, shopping and sightseeing, museum listings and entertainment in Rome. Comprehensive bar and restaurant guides are also included.
It can be frustrating and time-consuming to research your travel destination. We live and work in Rome and know it like a back of our hand. We are always happy when people come and visit our beautiful home city and want you to have as much information about Rome as possible. That is why we have put together an online Rome Travel Guide full of essential information for your trip.
However you arrive in Rome, you can tell by the traffic that you are entering a grand nexus: all roads lead to Rome. As you enter the city your expectations take shape: a bridge with heroic statues along its parapets; a towering cake of ornate marble decorated with allegorical figures in extravagant poses; a piazza and an obelisk under an umbrella of pine trees; a massive stone arena, even bigger than you imagined, that you realize with awe is the fabled Colosseum.
