Summer in Rome: Every traveller knows Rome is one-of-a-kind; no wonder it is widely recognised as the Eternal City.  Aside from the timeless architecture and history that lives in all of its paths, one cannot get over its ethereal beauty. And can you blame? The city is charmed with an eternity of times you may explore and still discover something new for yourself. You never know what you will find in its most notable landmarks because there’s so much to see and do. Let us now start our guide on things to do, locations to see, and spots you may enjoy during your Roman summer break. Exploring Rome: It All Begins With A Plan… First, we will explore the remains of the Roman Forum and visit the Colosseum. It is the most famous symbol of the city of Rome worldwide.  Both the Pantheon, which is well-known for its dome, and St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City offer a panoramic view from its dome. These are evergreen destinations that never fail to leave a lasting impression and have a strong and timeless historical aura.  1. The Sistine Chapel The Sistine Chapel, which is housed at the Vatican Museums, is another must-visit ​​location. However, pay attention – reservations are required in advance. Then, take in the views from the Spanish Steps and see the Trevi Fountain. Art lovers might visit the Galleria Borghese, which features paintings by Bernini and Caravaggio, and the Capitoline Museums, which are home to antique Roman artefacts. The National Gallery of Ancient Art is situated at Palazzo Barberini as well.  2. Catacombs of San Callisto For an experience like no other, visit the Catacombs of San Callisto and walk or ride along the Appian Way. The Orange Garden will offer breathtaking sunset views of Rome, and the Baths of Caracalla will provide insight into ancient Roman public baths. Rome also has an outstanding food scene. Crispy and thin Roman pizza and classic pasta dishes like carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana, and gricia are examples of its traditional cuisine. Notable dishes are Carciofi alla Romana, or Roman-style artichokes, and Supplì, fried rice balls filled with cheese.  3. Relish The Roman Delicacies Also, take a chance to savour Saltimbocca alla Romana, which is veal cooked in butter and white wine with prosciutto and sage. Desserts not to be missed are classic tiramisù and maritozzo, a sweet bun filled with cream.  Take a chance to enjoy a meal at classic trattorias like Da Enzo al 29 or Armando al Pantheon, or venture to Michelin-starred restaurants like Il Pagliaccio or La Pergola for a premium experience.  4. Extraordinary Stays Of course, there are plenty of places to stay in Rome. For reasons related to transit, goods, and services, we advise selecting places close to the city centre.  Furthermore, the majority of the most well-known, highly regarded lodging options with top-notch service are found in Rome's historic centre. You may, for instance, consider the wonderful VRetreats hotels.  Rome may be chaotic, so pay attention to this step to ensure that you have the greatest holiday possible with excellent service and the ability to see all the places you want to see in less time. Here’s Your Rome Itinerary… Whether you are in the city for three days, five or a week, you need an itinerary to visit places that deserve priority. If I were to give an honest opinion, three days is fine for a tour of this ethereal destination. Here’s why: 1. Day 1 at the Palatine Hill Are you back from the Colosseum already? If so, it’s time to visit Palatine Hill and, of course, the Roman Forum. Count on me when I say this: Palatine Hill is absolutely unmissable!  Sure thing, everyone loves the Colosseum, and they’re most likely to hit their destination when they reach Rome. But why not go that extra mile to discover a not-so-hidden-gem? If you are dying for some epic views across the forum, this one destination should be on your bucket list. Welcome, home Christmas card photos dwelled with tour images.  2. Day 2 at Pane e Salame It is obvious that you should stop at a food destination with all that extra vacation stress you are carrying. I have found an incredibly amazing lunch spot in Rome, Pane e Salame. It is a paradise for those looking to gulp fresh cheese and delectable meats.  I saved some serious money on their charcuterie tray, which was the wanderer’s reward! It has got so many delicacies that you can share without feeling guilty to your friends. Also, add Aperol Spritz for that extra kick! While Venice and other north Italian cities are quite popular for their finger food-serving styles, this place does something unique. Have an amazing time at Pane e Salame and taste the authentic Italian culture in the form of food.  3. Day 3 is for a Walking Tour I will not immediately name the places, but nothing pays off like an accomplished walking tour of Rome. Art flows through every single vein of the city, and you are never going to be secluded! On this walking tour, you are most likely to cover Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, Campo de Fiori, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. This tour shouldn’t take you more than an hour!  Important Consideration: These places are jam-packed with tourists. So, you can book your tickets for months with fewer tourists arriving, say during winter or autumn. Follow these tips, and you’ll be good to go! The Bottom Line So, what’s stopping you from discovering the gem of Italy? There’s literally so much to see and do in the city that boasts of art and culture.  Get ready to see something special and dine in the best places in Rome. Thank you for reading this article till the end!  We really hope we were helpful on your way to planning your vacation. Wishing you the best stay in Italia!

The travel scene in the world has not evolved since the Pandemic - people have now realized that countries around the world have their doors to tourists again in the absence of strict covid travel guidelines. In fact, the summer of 2022 has witnessed so many stories about overcrowding, travel mishaps, and even dangerous heat waves at major tourist destinations across the world, especially in Europe. However, things in Asia have been a little different. As Asian countries are taking more time to open their doors to tourists with far lesser reports of flight cancellations or lost luggage, it has been seen tourists are not really coming back. One of the biggest examples of this strange travel phenomenon is Japan. Japan Is Open To Tourists Now: So Why Aren’t They Coming Back? Japan opened its doors to tourists in the summer of 2022 to a whole lot of fanfare, and that too at a time which is generally considered to be peak tourist time for travellers in this country. However, according to the Japanese Immigration Services Agency, only a meagre 1,500 tourists visited the country between June 10th and July 10th. The data points out how the numbers have gone down by a solid 95% as compared to data obtained during the same period of time before the Pandemic. Perhaps one of the possible reasons for the sharp decrease in tourists is because the country is only allowing leisure tourists and those too tourists who visit with ‘organized groups’ and not individually. Melissa Musiker, a PR professional based in New York City, commented in this context, “We don't need to be babysat” - Melissa used to be one of the frequent travellers to Japan before the Pandemic. So is Japan ruining its tourism industry because of its own rules, or is it because of some other strange reason nobody is aware of yet? Only time will tell us - till then, we can only speculate.

It's a blessing to find someone in life who would love you unconditionally. Promise to stay in better or worse, in sickness or in health, and never leave your side till death do you apart.  Being in a relationship can be a bumpy ride sometimes, but instead of leaving it alone, you should come forward to make it right. From both ends, it is your love that will keep you together.  Doing everything together is a way of making the bond between you and your partner stronger. If you are going through some changes I suggest you take a step forward and go outdoors to do something adventurous together.  While doing things that you haven't for a long time will make you realize the things you love most about each other.  So without any further ado, let's find adventurous date ideas, and places that can give you love birds a fresh start. 1. Starry Night Pack your bags and get ready to leave the city behind for an adventurous date. The city sky is too dull and the car honking will not let you feel calm. Drive a few miles out of town, pick a place that has nobody in it. Spread a blanket on the ground and lie down together, light some candles beside you. Now enjoy the beautiful clear sky with stars sparkling everywhere. Find out the constellations. Talk about each other. Have an adventurous date. Don’t forget to say ‘I love you. 2. You Found Me Get your head out of your busy schedule, plan a vacation with your lovey-dovey partner. Once you reach your destination, split up and try to find each other. This is going to be best for an adventurous date. Does the question arise who will find each other? Well, you know-how, look for the shops your partner may be in or any activities that your mate could probably be doing.  Think, common on. When you will finally find your partner, hug tight and utter the three magical words ‘I love you 3. Sippin Wine  If you guys are in any mountain region, then don’t just let the opportunity slip through your hand.  Find a spot in the mountains and hike up there. Open a bottle of wine and get ready to be up all night.  Talk about your future with each other, tell the funniest things about each other. Laugh carelessly and loudly.  Come back home in the morning, get fresh, and be in bed saying ‘I love you to each other.  4. Thrill Junkies  If you are one of those couples who love taking risks in life then don’t think about the consequences just go and do something thrilling.  Do bungee jumping or skydiving or scuba diving or anything that will bring excitement into your eyes. Let the adventurous date begin. Let your other half surprise you with the same energy you once saw and immediately fall in love.  So, ask the bungee jumping guide to tie you both together, and while you take the leap of love whisper ‘I love you. 5. Try The Non-Traditional Way To make a normal traditional holiday a better one in a non-traditional way, do something unique on that day, so it becomes unforgettable. Ideas vary from person to person, this idea should be absolutely the person who is reading this. Make sure you spend your holiday with fun and laughter. At the end of the day leave a note or a text saying ‘ I love you. 6. Sunrise and Pancakes  Drive somewhere away from home at night, with a plan of seeing the sunrise from your favourite spot.  Both night and the morning will be in your favour as you will have a late-night long drive as well as look at the sunrise from above the horizon. Close your eyes for a bit and hear the birds chirping, letting you know that the sun is about to rise. This is going to be the satisfying adventurous date ever.  Start having a quick morning breakfast cum picnic with your pumpkin. Take out the finger-licking good pancakes with maple syrup that is about to be poured on top. Start your day with ‘I love you. 7. Take Time  Get out of town, be at your destination as fast as you can.  Take the fastest transport if possible.  Once you get there, enjoy being with each other all the time.  Lay down in bed as much as you can, go out if that's what you want.  But the way back home has to be slow, really slow. Choose the slowest transportation available.  Turn the several-hour flight into a several-day road trip. Stop at random spots and cherish their beauty.  Have the most of the time for each other. While driving the car, take a moment to look at your loved one and express your love with ‘I love you. 8. Surprise Surprise If it's your partner's birthday coming up next week, then go hurry up, you have lots to do.  Surprise your soulmate with a surprise trip. Hide everything, before the birthday arrives.  Plan the place and travel route, the activities, and the art museums that you both want to perform and visit.  Make the birthday special for your loved one. Make your partner feel that this is the best birthday ever!. Bake a cake with an ‘I love you’ tag on it.  9. Pick A Place Obviously, wherever you go, you will have to pick a place for it. But this time you have to pick it randomly, to make your adventurous date successful.  Paste the country map on the wall, use a dart to throw at it.  The dart will choose the place for you. A place never heard of can turn out to be very interesting. Visit the place and enjoy the food.  If there is anything that is famous, surely try it. Don’t sit idle and behave like you are new to this place. Pretend like you know way too much. Take long walks nearby and often utter ‘I love you to each other. 10. Adopt A Four-Legged Furry Friend Everybody needs someone in their life especially helping in calling a truce after a fight between lovers. Visit a shelter near your location or maybe a bit far, doesn't matter. Get a mutual friend who will never be mad at you. Rather will help out when one of you will be not here to support the other mentally. You will officially become MOM and DAD.  What could be more beautiful than that?.  You guys even decide on a perfect name for your angel. Together, say ‘I love you to him.  11. Hike Your Problems Away Whenever in doubt or too much stress to handle, go out on a hike, trust me it helps miraculously. Break free from your ego and after a fight offer your partner a hike. The time you will spend walking and talking will be the most productive of all.  Sort out your problems, family problems, financial problems.  Just talk because communication is the key. All problems vanish away once you share views.  Hiking is the best thing to do.  As no one will disturb your conversations and once all done end your conversation with an ‘I love you in the end. 12. Say Yes To Matching Tattoos If it's the first time both of you are about to have a tattoo, make sure they complement each other. It is not necessary that you get the same tattoo but very much important to understand that the other part of the tattoo is with your loved one.  Experience the pain together, then laugh about it later while sipping coffee at a cafe. Whenever you are alone and miss your other half, you know what to do.  Yes, look at the tattoo and show your love by saying ‘I love you. 13. Karaoke Night Your partner knows how bad you are at singing, but still laughing at your own flaws is always appreciated.  The person who loves you the most will never make you feel alone. So drive to a bar and sing karaoke with each other. Swap the lyrics among each other.  Sing your heart out, make the most of the night. Have dinner nearby and appreciate for being so open to each other by using the words you have trying to say ‘I love you 14. Ride Or Die Learn from your partner to ride a motorcycle. Whoever in the relationship knows about bikes will teach the other.  Just imagine both of you can ride bikes, then you can also imagine that you don’t anymore have any transport issue.  Whenever you feel like going out together, just get the engine running. Say yes to the adventurous date. Don't forget to say ‘I love you’ before and after the ride. It shows you were connected even though riding individually.  15. Mystery Dining Pick a detective movie of both of your choice. Bad if none of you likes mystery movies. Don’t watch the whole movie. Leave it from the interval. Now, book a  reservation. While you eat your favourite cuisine, bring up the movie plot, try to crack who could be the murderer.  Challenge each other's detective skills.  Come back home, sit with some beer and finish the movie. I know one of you has to win, whoever it is, say ‘this is why I love you.  Conclusion  Spending time with your loved ones is just way beyond describing, as there are no words.
