Rome in winter is like finding your favourite gelato shop completely queue-free – rare, refreshing and undeniably delightful. With daytime highs hovering around a mild 13°C, you’ll enjoy the luxury of exploring the Eternal City without sweating through crowds. Imagine tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain or climbing the Spanish Steps without competing with selfie sticks. Bliss!
Shorter queues at the iconic sights mean more time to soak up Rome’s magic. Warm up between explorations in cosy trattorias or traditional coffee bars, where frothy cappuccinos are best enjoyed standing at the counter like a true Roman. Prefer sitting down? Be ready to pay a small “comfort fee” for that extra touch of relaxation.
And for those craving ultimate relaxation, the city’s ancient thermal baths offer the perfect excuse to indulge. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing like sinking into a bubbling whirlpool or savouring a glass of red in your fluffy robe.
So, pack those layers, grab an umbrella and prepare for a Roman winter getaway that’s equal parts culture, cuisine and cosy charm. Just don’t forget your appetite – it’s as essential as your passport!
