The most Romantic Park in Rome: Parco degli Acquedotti

I am a very simple woman, I love nature, I love a walk, and I love romance. I had written a blog post before about my favourite parks in Rome, and I really thought I had seen most of what the city had to offer nature wise. Turns out I was completely wrong. My roommate recently showed me pictures of the most romantic picnic location I had ever seen in my life. It turned out to be Parco degli Acquedotti, a public park located in the southeastern part of Rome. In this blog post I will tell you all about why you should visit this amazing place and how to get there easily using public transport!

Budget-Friendly Day Trip from Rome: A day in Anzio

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might already know this: I have a slight obsession with day trips from Rome. One, I live in Rome and I want to see as much of Italy as possible (on a student budget, of course). And two, most of these trips involve a train, and I love taking the train in Italy. Just staring out the window, headphones on concert mode, and off we go.

Now that the weather is finally getting better, I knew it was time to hit the coast, and that’s how Anzio popped onto my radar. In this post, I’ll share why you should check out this cute coastal town just 60 kilometres from Rome, how to get there for a very fun price, and exactly how to spend your day.

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 already knew that Rome is a fantastic city for those with dietary restrictions because there are plenty of great gluten and lactose free bakeries, but I was curious to see if the same held true for vegan bakeries.

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!
