The top 30 things to do in Rome

With Rome’s history spanning at least 28 centuries, you can bet your travel booties that it’ll take longer than a couple of days to fully experience its majesty. If you're arriving into Rome by plane, you can hop on a train at Fiumicino Airport that will take you directly to Rome Termini train station. Once you get to Rome there are countless things to see, do, and eat. Here we highlight 30 things to do in Rome you can't miss. 

Coccoli - A Florence favorite

One could argue that there is nothing more comforting than fried food. And if you're headed towards Tuscany the food is no different, especially one of the best snacks in Florence — coccoli, which translates as “cuddles” in Italian.

Coccoli are small balls of dough fried in olive oil, and traditionally stuffed with prosciutto ham and a creamy fresh cheese called stracchino. You can also find these with sweet fillings and served as a dessert.

For those of us who suffer through the long, grey, frigid northern American winters, the idea of a summertime that’s “too hot” seems a little far-fetched. But Europe has been struck with severe, even lethal heatwaves over the past few years, with temperatures in Italy hitting the hundred-degree mark for days or weeks on end, and high humidity making the heat feel even more oppressive.
