#OverseasTravel Very Italian-style wooden handwork, with the protagonist Pinocchio in "Pinocchio" as a selling point - there are many of him outside the store and inside the store! There are also devices for you to take pictures and pretend to be Pinocchio! "Pinocchio" is an Italian children's literature work. Many friends choose Pinocchio as a souvenir. In fact, this store also has other collections, mainly animal patterns, music boxes, name wooden signs, keychains, puzzles, stationery, pen plugs, household items, etc., and cute clocks. The shop is located at the back of the Pantheon 📍 Bartolucci Italia Roma Via dei Pastini, 96-98, 00186 Roma RM, Italy #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel

The Eternal City 📜✨ Captivated by the timeless beauty of Roma. From the majestic Colosseum to the hidden fountains, every corner tells a story of grandeur and art. 🏛️⛲🕯️ #roma #italy #rome #italianfood #pasta

I purchased a leather bag from Fantini and had it personalized with a stamp. I requested "Roma" to be stamped on mine, so it serves as a reminder of my trip to Rome each time I use it. I absolutely adore it! The quality is outstanding, and the prices are very fair.

It's a brief trip, making it perfect if you're short on time. The destinations are stunning, but the highlight is definitely the guide. Roma truly made our day! He communicates clearly about the plan, shares interesting details about the area, and is always there to assist with anything you need.

A week-ends in Roma

There is no place quite like Rome to celebrate another trip around the sun. If you are looking for a birthday itinerary that balances local neighborhood charm, stunning architecture, and a cheeky little escape to the nearby coast, here is how to spend a perfect day in and around the Eternal City. 🇮🇹✨ 🥐 1. A Sweet Morning Start Forget the standard hotel breakfast. A true Italian birthday starts with a tray of fresh, flaky cornetti (Italian croissants) stuffed with cream or pistachio, paired with a miniature birthday cake and a single candle to make a wish. Finding a local pasticceria with an airy, sunlit dining room sets the perfect relaxed pace for the day ahead. 🏛️ 2. Wandering Rome’s Authentic Streets While the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain are must-sees, Rome's true magic lies in its residential side streets. The Vibe: Keep an eye out for vintage treasures—you might just stumble upon a beautifully preserved, metallic teal classic Mercedes parked outside a mid-century Roman apartment block. The Icons: Take a leisurely stroll toward the historic center to marvel at Rome's endless skyline of domes, like the breathtaking Santi Luca e Martina near the Roman Forum, framed perfectly by blooming oleander bushes. 🛵 3. Live Like a Local (The Vespa Life) You haven't truly experienced the Roman outskirts until you’ve zipped around on a scooter. Rent a classic Vespa—bonus points if it's a stylish olive green—to navigate the hilly neighborhoods. Take a break, grab an espresso, and just soak in the atmospheric, weathered Roman facades and ivy-covered stone walls. ⛵ 4. A Birthday Detour to the Marina If you want to escape the city bustle, head just outside the city center toward the Roman coast (like Fiumicino or Ostia). Exploring the local boatyards and checking out the massive sailboats—including some proudly bearing the ROMA registration—adds an unexpected, salty-air coastal element to a classic city trip. 💡 Trip.com Travel Tips for Rome: Best Time to Visit: Spring and early autumn offer beautiful blue skies with comfortable walking temperatures. Getting Around: Walking is best for the historic center, but renting a scooter is an incredible way to see the surrounding residential neighborhoods if you’re a confident driver! Birthday Treats: Don't hesitate to tell your local trattoria or cafe it's your birthday—Italians love a celebration and might just surprise you with an extra splash of limoncello! #RomeTravel #ItalyTrip #BirthdayInRome #VespaLife #EuropeTravel #TravelInspiration

We have been members of the Roma Bella association for about two years and have always enjoyed the knowledgeable guides. Yesterday, in particular, we visited the Vittoriano with Laura. It was an intense 3-hour tour, packed with history, curiosities, and anecdotes. Laura's passionate storytelling captivated us and truly conveyed her enthusiasm. She showed great patience with latecomers and genuine concern for a lady who felt unwell twice. She could easily host a TV show. Simply put: BRAVO!

We have just returned from our enjoyable Over-50 Canarvon Gorge and Heron Island Diamond Tour. Hostess Leanne and driver Chips made the trip both informative and fun, while ensuring we felt safe and comfortable throughout. Some of the highlights included the delicious meals, the fantastic Big Rig experience, and the rewarding, though challenging, walk into the gorge. We absolutely loved Greycliffe Homestead—the meal there was incredible, and walking around to see the wonderful exhibits was a great experience. The people running it showed great knowledge and passion for its history. My husband even played their old piano accordion, which amazed them—they were such friendly country folk. Then, we headed to Heron Island, where the crystal-clear water was truly breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our reef walk. On Saturday, we took the Pink Amphibious LARC tour, led by two amazing young hosts. They brought us to Bustard Head Lighthouse, turning it into another unforgettable day. Finally, we spent our last evening with the crew and fellow passengers, wrapping everything up on a bittersweet note as we said goodbye. Big thanks to Leanne and Chips for making our first bus tour an amazing and memorable experience—we couldn’t have asked for better!

#EuropeTravel This famous archaeological landmark takes you on a journey back in time to what is considered one of the greatest wonders of the ancient world. I enjoyed walking around the massive amphitheater, imagining what life was like during the Roman Empire with gladiator shows and plays that captivated thousands of people. 🏟️🌻 The architectural design of the Colosseum was magnificent, as were the minute details that stood the test of time. Although the venue was packed with visitors, the atmosphere was calm and solemn, making for an even more moving experience. I enjoyed standing on the balcony and taking in the view of the landscape that witnessed many historical events. 📸 Rome is full of restaurants and cafes surrounding the Colosseum, where we enjoyed a traditional Italian meal overlooking this stunning historical landmark. 🍕🍝 I highly recommend visiting the Colosseum, as it is an amazing place that combines history and grandeur, leaving you in awe.

Roma’s largest bottle tree, which has the incredible girth of 9.62 metres, a height of 15 metres and a crown of 23 metres, was transplanted by Roma Town Council to its present location from a local property in 1927. The tree was fairly well grown at the time of the transplant and quite possibly originated in the nineteenth century. No trip to Roma is complete without a selfie with the Big Bottle Tree!#roma #queensland

Rome, Italy Rome (English: Rome; Italian: Roma) is the capital and largest city of the Italian Republic, and the national political, economic, cultural and transportation center. It has a history of more than 2,500 years and is a world-famous historical and cultural city. It is the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire and is known as the "Eternal City" because of its long history. Rome is located in the central and western part of the Italian peninsula, on seven small hills in the plain of the lower reaches of the Tiber River. The city center covers an area of more than 1,200 square kilometers. It is the largest city in Italy with the largest population, and is also one of the world's famous tourist destinations.

#OverseasTravel Next to the Vittoriano Memorial Hall in Rome, you will see a very wide and super long staircase - 124 steps in total, leading to the Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara coeli, which is located on a small hill. Although seeing so many stairs, not walking has begun to have some weak legs 😅 but the above the Notre Dame Church is also worth seeing. The church was built in the 13th century, and it feels completely different from its very plain and completely undecorated exterior. 📍Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara coeli Scala dell'Arce Capitolina, 12, 00186 Roma #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel

#OverseasTravel The Ascensori Panoramici, a panoramic viewpoint located on the top rooftop of Vittoriano, is well worth a visit – especially for those who like to take pictures of city views! There is a glass elevator from the platform that leads straight up to the roof. The scenery here is very sunny, you can see many Roman buildings and ruins, such as: the Roman Arena, the Imperial Forum, etc. Especially beautiful at sunset and dusk! Above you can also see the goddess Victoria’s chariot statue at the highest point of the Memorial Hall at a super close range. #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel

#OverseasTravel This Vittoriano in Rome, Italy, is a very grand memorial hall, built to commemorate Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king who unified Italy. The whole building is built with pure white marble. It looks even brighter and more dazzling in the ancient city of Rome In the front of the palace are equestrian statues🐴 and the altar Altare della Patria, which commemorates the heroes who sacrificed in the war, guarded by guards for a long time. Entering the memorial hall, there will be a museum of Italian unity, and the platform offers a view of Trajan's market across the street, with another paid observation deck on the top floor. 📍Vittoriano Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel
