Dinner starts a little later than you may be used to – with restaurants in Rome serving dinner from around 7:30pm. You don’t need to tip – but if you would like to, around 10% of the bill is regarded as the ‘norm’. restaurants in the heart of the city – in the tourists hotspots may be more expensive than those slightly further out.
Many churches will expect you to cover your shoulders and to dress ‘appropriately’ when visiting. Some churches may also expect to search any bags before entering, leave any suitcases or pull alongs in their storage facilities and will forbid flash photography or photography of any kind depending. This is because churches in Rome are Catholic and are seen as Holy entities.
When it comes to monuments – you may be asked not to touch them or stand in certain places – this is because many are thousands of years old – and they are trying to reduce unnecessary damage.
There are no two people the same. Given that factors such as age, medical conditions and duration of trip play a factor in determining cost, the price will differ for everyone. We offer quotes tailored to your circumstances.
Italy remains a strict Catholic country and so, when travelling to Rome, it’s important to be respectful towards their culture and religion. Churches are seen as holy entities and therefore you may be expected to cover your shoulders in the majority of them. Take this into consideration when packing for your holiday – a scarf could be useful.
Rome has endless attractions and hidden treasures. For us, those that are unmissable include: the Colosseum, St Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Sistine Chapel, Vatican City and Vatican Museums.
Rome has plenty to offer – with such extensive history and rich culture it’s possible to spend a week an entire week taking it all in. However, if you’re looking for an extended weekend break, four days is enough to experience the main attractions.
