My 5 Favourite Spots in Rome After a Year of Blogging
Yes my loves, if you are reading this today, on September 6, 2025, it is officially my birthday and also the one year anniversary of my blog. Exactly one year ago I pressed publish for the very first time and I am forever grateful that I did. To celebrate turning 24 and my little blog turning one, I have put together a list of my favourite spots in Rome after a year of blogging. These places mean the world to me and if you ever find yourself in Rome, do not miss them because I am sure you will fall in love with them. Just as I did.
What to See in the EUR District in Rome: History, Architecture & Surprises
As I have mentioned on my blog before, one of my favourite things about Rome is that every neighbourhood in the city can feel totally different. In my neighbourhood series, I have previously talked about Pigneto, Ostiense, Testaccio, and Monti, and this time I want to focus on the EUR district. Located a little further away from the centre, it is a fascinating place with a dystopian feel to it. To be completely honest, the first time I visited, I kind of got the creeps, but over time I really grew to appreciate it. In this blog post, I will share a bit about the history of the district, the highlights you can’t miss when visiting EUR, and how to get to the area using public transport.
5 x The Best Gelato in Rome (2025)
Since last week I wrote about some of the best savoury street food in Rome, I thought this week it would be nice to switch things over to the sweet side and talk about one of the best treats Rome has to offer: gelato. As an international student, I’ve tried my fair share of gelato in Rome, and over time I’ve collected my top 5 gelaterias for the best gelato in Rome. These spots are the result of plenty of personal “research” (yes, eating a lot of gelato) combined with recommendations from my local Roman foodie friends. When you’re in Rome, you simply have to try them for yourself!
