My Favourite Small Museums in Rome for a Low-Effort Visit
It won’t be a secret to anyone reading this that Rome is full of amazing museums. With over 100 to choose from, you’d probably need a lifetime to visit them all. Even after living here for over a year, I’ve barely made a dent!
Of course, there are the super famous ones, like the Vatican Museums, but this post is all about the lesser-known gems. Personally, I love small, low-effort museums—the kind that don’t overwhelm you with endless information but instead fit perfectly into your day for a quick, inspiring visit.
So, in this blog post, I’ll share some of my favourite small museums in Rome that are perfect for a low-effort, yet totally worthwhile, visit.
Top 3 Vegan Bakeries in Rome (updated 2026): Delicious & Plant-Based
Since I have a love for all things sweet, I decided a couple of months ago to set myself a new mission.

I am happy to report that it does! There is a common belief that vegan pastries are not as delicious as traditional ones, but these bakeries will prove that notion wrong. In this blog post, I will share my top three vegan bakeries in Rome along with a few honourable mentions. Whether you are planning a trip to Rome or already live here, these spots are a must visit even if you are not vegan!
