Your Travel Companion in Every City
Curated by Metro’s travel authority, Alice Murphy, The Getaway Expert newsletter is your go-to resource for travel wisdom. Packed with actionable insights and firsthand experiences, it empowers you to navigate new destinations with ease, whether you’re exploring Rome’s vibrant markets or planning a getaway across the globe.
From mastering booking timelines to uncovering clever tricks for navigating Rome by taxi, the guide acts as a trusted companion. The city’s central district, though steeped in centuries of history, remains pedestrian-friendly, ensuring that landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps are just steps away. Begin your day with a quiet stroll to the Trevi Fountain before the crowds gather, then browse the stylish shopping avenues near the Spanish Steps.
For a taste of local authenticity, venture to Trastevere, Rome’s favored bohemian district. Here, trattorias such as Roma Sparita serve hearty pasta dishes in warm, inviting settings. If you prefer pizza, opt for the innovative al taglio style at La Renella Forno—massive rectangular slices baked in a communal pan, available by weight. Skip the traditional margherita and try a unique combination of zucchini flowers, mozzarella, and anchovy. Alternatively, stop by nearby street vendors for a quick espresso or a fluffy, brioche-like Maritozzi bun.
Whether you choose a grand tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum or unwind with a gelato at Piazza Navona, our prize provides the ideal starting point.
