One Day in Milan: Top Things to See and Do for a Perfect Day Trip
After my successful trips last year to Matera, Bologna, and Florence, I decided to plan another adventure this February. This time, I ventured further up north to explore Milan, Turin, Genova, and Pisa. While not every city was a success (I’ll probably talk about that in a future post!), I had a wonderful time in Milan, which is a totally different city than Rome.
In this post, I’ll share my favourite things to do and see in Milan in just one day, hoping to inspire your own visit to this city!

Top 3 Vegan Bakeries in Rome (2025): 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!

If I tell you I debated calling this article "Why You Should Run, Not Walk, to Ostia Antica," it should give a clear indication about my level of enthusiasm about this place.

In this blog post, I will share how to get to Ostia Antica from Rome (budget-friendly, of course!), what the ticket prices are, and the top things to see—so hopefully, you'll leave feeling inspired and excited to explore this magical place for yourself!
