Rome, the eternal city, an endless parade of history, architecture and beautiful spaces like The Colosseum, the Parthenon, the Roman Forum, Sistine Chapel and many gardens.

To enjoy Rome, get ready to walk, stop, turn and delight in unexpected sights.

Don’t skip the classics, yet venture into nooks and crannies for many surprises, from butcher shops to markets, bars, gelato and leather shops.

Roman cuisine offers an array of tastes, flavors and smells. Of course you must try all the pizza and pasta that you can muster. Favorites are caccio e pepe, carbonara and eggplants.

Tips for Rome

• Check the reviews of your desired Airbnb before booking to avoid stress and surprises
• Outdoor markets in the piazzas are great places to explore and taste local fare
• Some shops selling Italian leather may carry something else….. be sure to purchase leather goods carefully
• Only take official taxis from the airport, or the metro

Naples, Pompeii and Amalfi Coast

Naples is a bustling, chaotic and interesting city, in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. We had one of the best pizzas here, in a small restaurant filled with Maradona imagery.

We drove from Naples along the Amalfi coast road. We stayed at the following places: hotel eden in Sorrento and an Airbnb in Atrani. From Sorrento, we took the ferry to Capri for a day trip, but tickets early and be on time, you can walk or take a taxi to the ferry. There is an amazing cable car in Capri, the hike is nice as well.

We loved Positano, lunch overlooking the sea is amazing. Atrani is a quiet town with a nice beach, very steep streets and an quaint and interesting piazza.

Since we drove from Rome, we stayed one night near Pompeii, and visited the ruins, highly recommended.

Tips for Naples and the Amalfi coast

• Driving in Naples is challenging….
• The Amalfi coast is a joy to drive. Give yourself time to slow down and enjoy the views.
• Pompeii is a full day visit, totally worth it
• Sorrento is a great base for visiting Capri and a marvelous town on its own
• Positano and Atrani are places where you can relax and enjoy the food and views

TIL next time, walk good.
