Being a tourist in Rome takes a day. Feeling Roman takes a little more effort. Anyone can visit Rome. Feeling like a local takes a bit of practice and here’s how. 🏛️
Swipe through and try them yourself.
Breakfast standing at the bar.
A cornetto and a coffee, gone in under five minutes, chatting with the barista like you have known them for years. Sitting down is for tourists, standing at the counter is how Romans actually start their day.
An evening at Campo de’ Fiori.
By day it is a market, by night it turns into one of the liveliest squares in the city. Grab a drink, find a spot on the steps and watch the piazza fill up as the evening goes on.
A Sunday lunch that never really ends.
Antipasti, pasta, a main course, dessert and coffee, stretched across hours at the table with family or friends. In Rome, Sunday is not a day off from eating well, it is the whole point.
The bakery run the morning after.
A slice of pizza bianca or a fresh cornetto picked up on the way home, still warm. This is the ritual that closes a proper Roman night out.
Sunset from Monte Cocci.
A hill made almost entirely of ancient broken pottery, now one of the best kept secrets for watching the sun go down over Testaccio. Bring a blanket, skip the crowds and enjoy the view like a local.
