Doing laundry in Rome

Just looking for some additional advice or recommendations - here is what we have so far;

8/26 - Arrive at FCO 745am, will take car service to our hotel (Hotel Martis Palace) to drop luggage and start exploring Rome.

8/27 - Rome. Vatican museum.

8/28 - Rome. Colosseum tour.

8/29 - 710am Fresciarossa train to Milan. Arrives 1050am. Already booked the tickets. Pick up car rental and drive to Lake Como. Staying in Diamond Apartments in Bellagio.

8/30 - More Lake Como. Staying same place.

8/31 - Driving to the Dolomites. Staying at the Hotel Angelo Engel in Ortisei.

9/01 - Dolomites. Won’t bore everyone with the list of hikes, but the hikes and scenic pass drives are the main reason for coming to the area. That and some of the lakes in the area.

9/02 - Dolomites

9/03 - Dolomites

9/04 - Dolomites, then driving back to Milan, staying at the Sheraton airport hotel that is literally in the terminal.

9/05 - 1020am flight back to US.

I think having basically 3 full days/nights in Rome is this plenty. Not sure that a day and a half (2 nights) will give us much time in Lake Como, but we’ve never been and would like to check it out unless someone has a better option. I think our time in Dolomites will give us enough time to do some hikes and explore the area. Obviously I’d rather have weeks to spend in each area, but unfortunately that isn’t an option haha.

Any suggestions or recommendations for these areas?

We are headed to Italy in September for a wedding in Amalfi. We are staying in Rome for 2 days before heading down there and we’ll stay there for 4 nights as she has 3 events planned. We are leaving Amalfi on the 14th back to Rome for another 3 days before we fly out. My question is there a day trip recommendations on our way back to Rome? We are planning on taking the ferry to Salerno and than train to Rome. We will have our luggage with us. Any recommendations are appreciated.

We are traveling to Rome for 3 days and then we are off to the Amalfi Coast. We have been to Rome 2x so I would like to spend a night in a unique city/villa in the countryside between Rome and Amalfi. Any suggestions? I would love to stay in an old castle. We will need to travel by train

My best friend and I have rented an apartment in Rome for 3 weeks beginning Oct 1.

We're thinking of visiting Cinque Terre for a couple of nights and will be taking a train or other transportation between Rome and CT.

We are both in our 60's, I'm in excellent health, my friend is in good health. I do have a fear of heights & drop offs but we want to do some hiking while in the area.

Can you advise me the best way to travel from Rome?

Where do you recommend we stay and hike that will allow us hiking, taking into account my height fears.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi Everyone,

Re-planning my postponed trip from 2020 this year. I seem to have forgotten all the valuable tips I had received for my previously planned trip. Is August a bad time to travel in terms of closures and holidays? Since I have nothing book yet, would it be better to travel in September instead?

I am thinking the following itinerary for now:

Aug 5-10-Roma

Aug 10-13-Florence with day trips to Sienna, Pisa?

Aug 13-15-Venice

Aug 15-16-Train back to Rome and fly home.

Is this too ambitious?

Will be travelling on a Covid tested flight in and out from Rome from Canada

My parents and I will be flying into Rome on July 28 and staying there until the evening of July 30 (planning to drive down to Naples on the 30th). However, my mother has already visited Rome and says one day should be enough for sightseeing, also considering the hot July weather and crowds on tourists. We would like to spend the 30th visiting little towns around Rome and escaping the city bustle. Any towns/places we should include on our itinerary? We were planning to visit Florence but we feel like we would like to escape the touristy sights and cities for a day. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm 34 years old and traveling to Rome solo. I'm stuck down a rabbit hole of all the things to see and do. Priority: best area for hostel/hotel. Gladly take any advice on which area has the most attractions within walking distance. Thanks in advance!

We are planning 5 weeks in Italy next Sept! We will be going to Rome,Tuscany,Cinque Terre,Venice and Amalfi Coast.

Which would be the best direction of places to go? We do not want our last week in Rome as we prefer Rome in the beginning of the trip! Which would be the best last place to be other than Rome for easiest access to a departure airport. Thanks

Hopefully, all things will be safe for travel. Our son would like to go for my 75'th BD , DIL 50'th and Granddaughter's 16'th birthday to Rome. We plan on arriving a few (5 days) before them and using Marriott points. A few years ago, we stayed at the Palazzo Naiadia , but not now, no longer a Marriott. Have narrowed down to Rome Marriott Grand Flora or the Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel, AC. Any information or which you would select, or comments. After, our five days, we will move to our son's place he has book for us, for 8 nights, at Villa Spalletti Trivelli. Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

Hello!

I just rescheduled my cancelled trip to Oktoberfest and rebooked for December at the Carpediem Roma Golf Club outside of Rome at Via Di Marco Simone 80, Guidonia Montecelio, Roma(RM) Italy. If anyone has been there or knows the area, I would appreciate some advice on whether I would need to rent a car, use taxis, or the train for the week.

As an example, I used Google Maps for directions for the Coloseum, and the train looked reasonable but about 4 km away. I visited Rome once 25 years ago with a tour group but want to be more self-guided this trip.

I mostly plan on visiting Rome for the full duration of the week, but will book an additional night on each at a hotel that provides shuttle to FCO so the airport transportation is not a factor.

So here are some of questions for anyone that can answer:

1. What is the best transportation option?

2. Anything around the area that I should see or do?

3. Are there any grocery stores in the area to stock up my kitchen in the condo?

4. Any advice for single traveler, besides the obvious, in Rome?

5. Any cooking schools or classes that might offer a single day or several hour class?

6. Best things on a budget is always welcome!

Thank you all!
