Rome was great! I loved exploring it on foot with no real plan, just to see it and taste all the delicious dishes that seem to be everywhere. Sure, it gets crowded with tourists at that fountain, and the Vatican and the Colosseum. But at least the last two are still worth it.

We stayed at an Airbnb a bit outside the main touristy spots close to the Re di Roma metro stop, and the neighborhood everything that I needed; a streetside café with older Italian men happily arguing with each other for an eternity while having their morning coffee, a gelato shop that stayed open until midnight, and a small restaurant that had just opened that served what must be the best tiramisu in the world.

Sadly I saw that it had permanently closed now, but I am up for the challenge of finding a decent contender on my next visit!

Rome was very underwhelming for me. I didn't really enjoy it. I spent about 5 days there and I covered A LOT of ground. I think I walked about 25 miles one of the days... It was a long one.

I saw all the major sites but it didn't feel very magical. I mean my heart dropped a little bit when I saw the Colosseum but visiting the Trevi Fountain was a mess. It was consumed by tourists and selfie sticks and it was not enjoyable.

However, I made friends with people at the hostel I was staying in (I was traveling solo) and they made it a lot more fun. We had a picnic in a grassy spot by the Colosseum one evening was returned to the Trevi Fountain past midnight when there was no one else but a couple cuddled up close together. That felt much more like the Rome I had envisioned.

Would I return? Sure. Am I in a rush? No.
