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 Things to Do in Turin
Of all the cities I visited in northern Italy during my week long vacation, Turin was the highlight and my absolute favourite. There was something about it that felt very fairytale-esque, which is right up my alley. I was only in Turin for two days, but in this post, I'll share my top things to see and do in the city. I hope this post inspires you to plan your own trip or, if you’ve already been to Turin, to share your favourite spots in the comments below!
The Best Gluten-Free and Lactose-Free Bakeries in Milan
As someone with food allergies and intolerances, finding sweet treats I can safely enjoy, especially pastries, can be a real challenge while on vacation. While I do not have celiac disease myself, I understand how difficult it can be to find delicious and safe options.
I already knew that Rome is a fantastic destination for gluten free and lactose free bakeries, but I was curious to see if Milan could measure up. After plenty of research ( aka me eating gluten free cookies) , I am happy to report that it absolutely does.
In this post, I will share my favourite gluten free bakeries in Milan where you can indulge in allergen friendly Italian classics like cornetti, cannoli, and biscotti without worry.
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 (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!
