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.

As an international student in Rome, you might guess that I’m at the airport quite regularly, at least four times a year. While I obviously haven’t travelled everywhere yet, Fiumicino Airport is so far my favourite place to land. From there, it’s just so simple to get to the city centre that I never have to stress or worry about it anymore. Because I’d love for you to have as stress-free a visit to Rome as possible, in this blog post I’ll explain how to get from Rome Fiumicino Airport to the city centre by train. It’s cheap, simple, and quick, and with this information, you can do it too.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a travel guide without mentioning that I love a good viewpoint. I just love the idea of working hard for something—climbing a lot of stairs or hiking a steep mountain—and then being rewarded with a stunning view you can’t get anywhere else. It’s always the best place to read, eat a self-brought squished sandwich, or marvel at how romantic it all is (even if you’re single like me lol).

As you might know by now, Rome is my favourite place on earth, and I wanted to combine my two loves in this blog post. In this article, I’ll share my top 5 most beautiful viewpoints in Rome. I have beautiful memories of some of them, and I hope they’ll come to mean as much to you as they do to me.
