Hey /R/ome,

Me and my little family just landed in Rome this morning,

On the flight over my wife’s crown fell off and she’s in a decent amount of pain and is having trouble chewing, which is an extra bummer in the carbonara capitol of the world.

If anyone has any recs for a dentist who might be open on Easter weekend, can glue a crown and deal with an English speaker you could really help save our day!

Thank you for your help, it is truly appreciated!

In Rome on Wednesday 1 July alone trying to go to La pergola. Trying to find someone to join me as they only have tables of 2. At 21:00.

I visited Italy from the US for the first time with a few day stop in Rome. As a 25M, I occasionally do occasionally to regularly think about the Roman Empire. Speaking from tourist POV you would think there'd be more museums here dedicated to the army and their conquest, but there wasn't. So in my research I found this place, Res Militares. At first glance the place may seem small but it was a lot of fun. You can instantly tell the guide/owner was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history. He had several sets of recreation armor and equipment and walked me through the different eras, talking about all the different pieces, their origins, why they were named and designed the way they were. I was also able to handle a lot of the swords, shields, javelins, etc, and learn how to use them!

After the experience he had a decent selection of souvenirs, all designed/selected by him for historical accuracy. If you love swords, bring a checked bag to get one! There were several different types of gladius(es?), each based on real finds, each with a story on why they were designed and named the way they were.

This is starting to sound like a promotion, but I really enjoyed it that much especially after looking at ruins for the past 2-3 days.

All in all, a fantastic experience! Would recommend. It's the next best thing to seeing the original artifacts themself!

Here is the link to their website

Hey everyone!

​I’m currently living in Rome and looking for some friends to connect with. I’m an outgoing guy, but I’m not really looking for a "tourist guide"—I'm more into finding a friend to just vibe with.

​Whether it’s playing some games, chatting about random stuff, or just grabbing a drink and chilling, I’m down. I’m tired of the superficial social media apps where everyone just wants followers. I'd rather have a real conversation or play something together.

​I speak English and some Italian. If you’re looking for a chill person to hang out with (either online or in person), hit me up!

Hello,

My flight got rescheduled to a different time and i have a very short layover of 45 minutes in FCO.

Would this be a stretch or has anyone had similar experiences?

Ps : its a single ticket.

Hello,

From which official website can I buy museum tickets in Rome and the Vatican?

This is probably a really boring post! But I’ve used the free water fountains several times to fill up my bottle, seems like such a waste that they just run freely all day long. I’m from the UK, we only have to have a week of no rain and we get hose pipe bans put in place. I’m guessing they must have an abundance of clean fresh water here or a fancy and quick way of recycling it? I also noticed in our hotel in the bar they just left the tap on constantly.

Is there any place in rome that sells the drink Aquarius in bottles or cans? Havent been lucky in supermarkets yet

Title kind of says it all.. My AirBnB is very close to 'Piazza della Chiesa Nuova'. My flight is at 8:30 AM. We are a family of 4. What's the best way to get to FCO staring at 5 AM?

Hi! So I'm looking for the best way to go from city center to Villa d'Este, Villa Adriana and perhaps Castello Orsini-Cesi-Borghese. I found out that there are two companies - Enjoy and Free2move - that offers car sharing, unfortunatelly I'm not able to see the prices and conditions of the rental becouse free2move ask me to pay 9 euro just to register my account (granted, they will give me 15E bonus if i do, but i'm not willing if terms are not good) and enjoy is not working from my country.

Could someone please let me know how much more or less I will pay for a rental for one ~10 houres and a trip like that?

Room available in a 3 room apartment at 38 Via di Porta Maggiore 5 min walking from metro A Manzoni and walking distance from San Lorenzo, termini and Pigneto for short period 2-3 months starting from 10 April, 600€…for info contact +393513561116

22 and coming for a solo trip very soon Got a pizza place booked but apart from that nothing else booked and wondering if there’s any good recommendations

Last night I attended a concert at the Parca Della Musica and it was a nightmare to get back to my hotel near Piazza Navonna. I took a taxi there, but at 10 pm could find no taxi back - none at the concert hall, and my phone was not getting internet so I could not use an app. I tried flashing down taxis with their taxi light on, but after three drove past me, I ended up walking back. Over three miles. No taxi stands on the way. How can I avoid this again? I don’t only go to the main tourist areas with obvious taxi stands.
