When In Rome…<\/h4>\n

While studying abroad in Rome<\/a>, I not only experienced the super touristy spots, but I also had the opportunity to live like a local and explore the hidden gems of Rome. Here are my top five things to do in Rome (although there are a lot more!).<\/p>\n

Explore The Monuments<\/strong><\/h6>\n

A trip to Rome isn\u2019t complete without visiting all of the historical Roman landmarks, no matter how touristy \u2013 and crowded \u2013 they can get. From the Pantheon to the Colosseum, the Roman Forums, and the Spanish steps, there is an abundance of sights to see in Rome, and it never gets old experiencing ancient, Roman history. Make sure to watch your belongings carefully, however, as pickpockets are abundant in crowded, touristy areas.<\/p>\n

Bike Around Villa Borghese<\/h6>\n

A hidden, Roman gem I learned about \u2013 although it is still a bit touristy \u2013 is biking in Villa Borghese. You can bike around the gardens, stop for a picnic lunch in the grass, and walking through numerous museums and buildings. It is also close to many of the other monuments in Rome, making it easily accessible.<\/p>\n

Visit Trastevere <\/strong><\/h6>\n

One of my favorite places in Rome is the neighborhood of Trastevere. From the cute little shops to the amazing restaurants, this area of a Rome is a must. Although there are many cool, and hidden, neighborhoods in Rome, I am biased as I lived in Trastevere and fell in love. I would highly recommend starting in la Piazza di Santa Maria \u2013 which is located right by the famous Santa Maria church \u2013 and walk around the area from there. This is a place you don\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n

Travel around the Street Markets <\/strong><\/p>\n

Another highlight of Rome is the street markets. Food, produce, gifts, and other goods are sold during weekday mornings and on the weekends. One of the most popular tourist markets is in Campo dei Fiori, which has food, any kind of pasta you could think of, and local, fresh produce. It is open every morning except on Sundays. Another amazing market \u2013 for fresh veggies, fruit, fish, and meat \u2013 is the Piazza San Cosimato market, which is open every morning except on Sundays. My personal market favorite, however, is the flea market located around the Via Portuense area in Trastevere. This market has EVERYTHING you could ever need at great prices! Clothing, toiletries, sunglasses, and other goods are sold here every Sunday morning-afternoon. Again, make sure to keep your belongings close at the markets, as the high volume of people brings out the pickpockets and other petty thieves.<\/p>\n

Of course, when in Rome you must eat! Here is a \u2013 very condensed \u2013 list of my favorite restaurants in Rome:<\/p>\n
