5 x The Best Savoury Street Food in Rome
You know I was excited to write this article. I love many things about Rome, but the food is definitely one of the biggest contributors to my happiness. Since I am a student, my budget isn’t very big, so I don’t eat out often. But with the street food in Rome, you don’t have to spend much for something to really rock your world.
There are a few street food items in Rome that are very famous, and you’ll see them a lot in the city centre. For this blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to share the most famous savoury street food items in Rome that I personally enjoy, along with the places where I think they sell the best ones. When you visit Rome, you simply have to try these foods!

Where to Find English Books in Rome: 4 Must-Visit Bookstores
I must admit, when it comes to the number of books I read each year, I feel like I might have peaked. In 2023, I read 43 books. In 2024, that number dropped to 17, and so far in 2025, I have only read 5. It’s not that I enjoy reading any less. I have simply spent more time on other hobbies lately, which has left me with a rather sad-looking Goodreads page.
However, it is my goal to start reading more again, so I thought this would be the perfect moment to share my favourite English-language bookshops in Rome. When I first moved to Rome, I was a little afraid I wouldn't find bookstores with a good selection of English books, but over time I found some great spots. If you're in Rome and looking for English books, here are the shops I recommend.
How to Plan the Perfect Day Trip to Nettuno from Rome
This year, from what I can remember, it got real hot in Rome way earlier than last year. While I’m usually pretty good with heat, I even bought an emergency fan to keep on my desk because I was simply melting away in my room. Temperatures of 39 degrees really put the dying in studying, you know?
But of course, there is a solution for everything, and from Rome you can easily take the train for a day trip to the coast. This time I went to explore Nettuno, a beautiful coastal town close to Anzio, where I went last time.
In this blog post, I will tell you everything about why Nettuno is the perfect day trip from Rome, how to get there in a budget-friendly way by train, and how to spend your day in Nettuno.
5 Beautiful Beaches near Rome You Can Easily Visit by Train
Yes my loves, I am back. After weeks of studying in my room and slowly melting away in temperatures of 39 degrees, I made it out of my exam period and I have time to write again, and no, not just for a university essay. Since summer officially arrived in Rome, one of my favourite things to do is visit the beach and go for a dive. I already wrote an article once about how to get to Ostia and enjoy the beach there, but for this blog post I ventured a little further away. By train you can easily reach some stunning beaches around Rome that are quieter, have clearer water, and are also very budget friendly. In this article, I’ll share my five favourite spots for a dive, the places I try to visit as often as possible.
