BOOKING PERKS

  • Is Rome safe to visit?

    Rome is generally safe to visit, with many popular areas being well-patrolled and secure. However, like any major city, there are some safety concerns to be aware of. Petty crimes, such as pickpocketing, can occur, especially in crowded tourist areas and on public transport. It’s important to stay vigilant and keep your belongings secure.

    Public transport, including buses and the Metro, is generally safe. Be cautious of your personal items, particularly during peak hours. Emergency services are reliable, with the number 112 available for police, medical, and fire emergencies.

  • Is Rome LGBTQ+ friendly?

    Yes, Rome is LGBTQ+ friendly. The city has a vibrant LGBTQ+ scene and a growing culture of inclusivity. Trastevere and Testaccio are neighborhoods known for their LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, and social spots. Rome hosts Pride Rome in June, featuring a parade and various events celebrating LGBTQ+ rights and culture.

    Coming Out is a prominent LGBTQ+ bar and community hub, offering a welcoming space for socializing and events. Italy has legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, including anti-discrimination laws and civil unions, contributing to a supportive environment in Rome.

  • When is the best time to visit Rome?

    Spring (March to May) offers mild temperatures and blooming flowers, making it ideal for sightseeing with fewer tourists. The weather is pleasant and perfect for exploring the city.

    Summer (June to August) brings hot weather, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C (86°F). This is the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. It’s great for enjoying outdoor attractions but can be very busy.

    Autumn (September to November) features cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. The fall foliage adds charm to the city, and the weather remains comfortable for sightseeing.

    Winter (December to February) is cooler and can be rainy, but the city is less crowded, and you can enjoy holiday decorations and lower accommodation prices

  • How can I be a good tourist in Rome?

    Be respectful in religious sites by dressing modestly when visiting churches and cathedrals. Cover your shoulders and knees, and avoid loud behavior. Mind local customs by greeting people with a friendly "Buongiorno" or "Buonasera." Politeness is appreciated, and basic Italian phrases can enhance interactions.

    Follow queue etiquette at popular attractions and museums. Italians value orderly lines, so be patient and wait your turn. Respect dining customs by ordering at the counter in casual places or waiting to be seated in restaurants. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; a small tip is customary for good service.

  • What public holidays/events in Rome should I be aware of?

    Easter (Pasqua) is a major celebration in Rome, with numerous religious events and processions, especially at St. Peter's Basilica. Expect large crowds and heightened activity during this period. Rome Film Fest (October) attracts international filmmakers and celebrities, potentially affecting accommodation availability and increasing city activity.

    Ferragosto (August 15th) is a major Italian holiday marking the peak of summer. Many locals take vacations, and some businesses may close, but major tourist sites remain open. New Year’s Eve (December 31st) features celebrations and fireworks, particularly around landmarks like the Colosseum. The city is lively but crowded, with many festivities and events.

    Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8th) is a public holiday with religious observances and parades. Some businesses and attractions may have altered hours.

WHY GENERATOR ROME?

Rome - where past meets present

Rome is really ancient –there’s 2,500 years of history packed into one Italian city, so rest assured that you’ll never get bored here.

The Eternal City's got more attractions than you can count, and it's no wonder they call it 'Caput Mundi' – the Capital of the World. With a sweet Mediterranean climate that's all about those sunny days, you're in for a non-stop show of monuments, museums, holy spots, and some Renaissance architecture that's straight-up mind-blowing.

Think antique aqueducts, mysterious catacombs, majestic fountains, towering obelisks, and parks that practically scream 'picnic time.' And when you're not busy soaking up all that history and culture, Rome's got your back with its mouth watering restaurants, cozy cafés, and live music joints that'll keep you grooving.

So, whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just someone looking for a good time, Rome's got your back. Get ready to dive headfirst into a city that's been turning heads for centuries.
