Rome: Travel Guide: How to Feel, Eat and Live the Greatest City in History
About this audiobook
Rome is not a city. It is an entire civilization concentrated in a space you can cross on foot in two hours but that would take entire lifetimes to truly understand.
When you walk its streets you are literally treading on twenty-eight centuries of accumulated history. The Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain. But beyond the monuments everyone knows, Rome has a second face that very few travelers ever discover: the cooking of the working-class neighborhoods of Testaccio and Trastevere, the hidden churches with Caravaggios that nobody guards, the markets where Romans shop every morning, the night that doesn't begin until two in the morning.
In just over an hour you will discover how to get around a city with only three metro lines without complications, what to see without wasting time, where to eat the carbonara and cacio e pepe that truly deserve those names, how its genuinely Italian nightlife works and how to organize your trip around however many days you have. Complete with itineraries for two, four and six days, practical advice on weather, money and safety, and the best day trips from the city: Tivoli, Ostia Antica, the Castelli Romani and Pompeii.
Rome is waiting for you. And it is exactly as extraordinary as they say, and at the same time completely different from everything you imagine before arriving.
