4 Beautiful Lake Towns Near Rome for a Perfect Day Trip
I would say I am a classic Virgo, meaning I really love making lists. In the past, I have already written about five beautiful beaches near Rome that you can visit on a day trip, but there are also some stunning lakes around the city. During my time in Rome, I have made several day trips to these lakes, and now I thought it was a good idea to put them all together in one clear list of places to go.
These lake towns are perfect for day trips in both winter and summer, and with this article, I hope to inspire you to visit them soon.
Day Trip from Rome: Visit Castel Gandolfo and the Palazzo Pontificio
Hello my beautiful ladies and gents. It took a while, but at the end of January I finally treated myself to another day trip from Rome. In between exams and everything else, I felt like it was the perfect moment to get inspiration and, of course, take you along with me.
Castel Gandolfo has a little bit of everything, from beautiful nature to cute shops and restaurants, and of course the Palazzo Pontificio and its gardens, which I will tell you all about. In my opinion, Castel Gandolfo is the perfect budget friendly day trip from Rome, and after reading this article, you will understand why.
The Best Tiramisù in Rome for Takeaway
In my opinion, you cannot come to Italy and especially Rome without trying tiramisù. This classic Italian dessert is made with coffee soaked ladyfingers and a creamy mixture of mascarpone, egg yolk, and sugar, all dusted with cocoa powder. While you can find it on almost every restaurant menu in Rome, tiramisù has also made its way into the street food scene. The city now has several small, hole in the wall takeaway spots where you can grab a daily sweet treat while wandering the centre of Rome. In this blog post, I have tested all of these places for you, so you can skip the ones that are only hype and go straight to the best takeaway tiramisù in Rome.
Why Gallipoli Is Worth Visiting
It has been two months since I visited Puglia with my family, and while I initially thought I had written about everything I wanted to share, something stayed in the back of my mind. While I devoted an entire blog post to the wonderful city of Lecce, I felt that another town deserved its own moment in the spotlight.
In this blog post, I will tell you all about why you should visit Gallipoli, a beautiful coastal town on the Ionian Sea. I truly fell in love with this historic town in Puglia, and I hope that by the end of this article, you cannot wait to visit it too.
Where to Go Ice Skating in Rome (And Not Only During Christmas)
For some people, this might come as a surprise, but I used to be a figure skater. I say used to because I haven’t been training for a couple of years since I quit, but after so many years on the ice, some of that skill will always stay with you. From time to time, a wave of nostalgia hits me and I get an intense craving to put on my skates again. So when I moved to Rome, I started my search for an enclosed ice rink that is open throughout the year.
In this blog post, I will share my favourite places to go ice skating, and obviously you don’t have to be a figure skater to enjoy these rinks. Skating is fun for all levels and ages, with friends or with family, and with this article I hope to inspire you to put on some skates this winter.
