Rome

Italy • Europe

historicculturalfood-focusedromanticslow travel

Rome is a living, breathing city where more than three thousand years of history exist alongside modern daily life. Ancient ruins rise from busy streets, Baroque fountains anchor lively piazzas, and neighborhood cafés hum from early morning espresso to late-night dinners. Known as the Eternal City, Rome is not preserved behind glass — it is layered, imperfect, and continuously inhabited. Visitors encounter history not as a museum exhibit, but as part of everyday movement, conversation, and ritual.
