What to do
Who says you can’t see Rome in a day? There’s a lot to see and if you’re on a time crunch, I’ve got the itinerary for you. Plan your visit accordingly, best thing to do is get your day started early. For example, check out the Trevi fountain no later than 8:30am before crowds start to from, from my experience it gets full around 9:30am on a weekday. Next, visit the colosseum and explore the Roman Forum and the Palatine hill to learn rich history. Lastly take a guided tour of The Vatican and immerse yourself in art from a variety of historical periods.
Where to eat gluten free
Who would have thought that Italy is one of the safest places for those who have celiac! These are a couple of my highlights.
- La Pasticcia is a small bakery that sells a variety of pastries such as croissants and delicious cream filled donuts.
- 4 Cimarra Pizzeria: they have two separate kitchens one gluten free and one “regular” clearly labeled and all their pasta is gluten free so there is no confusion.
What to expect
Skip the line passes are a life saver as lines form quick and moving very slowly. No matter what time you go there will be a lot of people, this helps ensure you will get to see what you want to see in a timely manner. We were part of a tour pros: you have a guide cons: you have a guide who won’t let you escape, take that as you will.
