Want to have an absolutely EPIC trip to Rome? We did the top 30 experiences in the city to filter out the fluff, and these are our top 3 non-negotiable suggestions you cannot skip! 🗺️✨
If you want the ultimate mix of adventure, food, and views, add these to your itinerary right now 👇
🛵 1. A 4-Wheel Scooter Tour with MIA Roma
We’ve done tours all over the world, and this is hands-down one of our favorites anywhere. You get to drive these super stable, fun 4-wheel electric scooters all over the city’s cobblestones. You see WAY more than you ever could on foot, access areas cars can’t go, and it is an absolute blast to drive them!
🍕 2. A Cooking Class with Riccardo
If you want a fun, authentic culinary experience with a true Roman local, this is it. Riccardo hosts both pizza-making and pasta-with-sauces classes, and they are both incredible. You’ll learn the secrets to perfect Roman dough and sauces, and honestly, it’s the best travel souvenir you can bring home. 🍝👨🍳
⛪ 3. Climbing the Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica
For the most iconic, panoramic view in all of Rome, you have to climb the dome that Michelangelo himself created. Looking out over St. Peter’s Square from the very top is one of the most awe-inspiring moments we’ve ever experienced. You will never forget it! 🤯🌅
✨ Our Take: Rome is packed with things to do, but if you want to maximize your time and leave the city completely in love with its culture, these three experiences are mandatory.
We’ve put the exact booking links, pricing, and timing tips for all of these inside our master guide! 🎫👇

[🚨 Comment “PIZZA” right now for your FREE 2026 Rome Guide Update! 🍕]
If you are planning a trip to Rome this year, you need to listen up—because the city looks completely different right now than it did even a few months ago! 🤯
We just spent 5 weeks in Rome this spring testing out all the new tours, mapping out new rules at major sites, and eating our way through the best new restaurants.
And trust us when we say… going there without knowing these updates is a recipe for long lines and massive vacation stress. 🛑
Here is just a sneak peek of what has changed in 2026 👇
💧 The Trevi Fountain Rule Change
The biggest news of the year is official: you now need a €2 ticket to access the lower basin area closest to the fountain to manage the crazy crowds. The upper viewing area is still free, but if you want to throw your coin, you need to know the new booking system! 🪙🚫
🎫 Mandatory Time Slots & Price Hikes
Major sites like the Colosseum and the Pantheon have updated their entry fees and put strict caps on daily visitors. If you don’t book your timed entry exactly 30 days in advance, you will miss out. 🏛️⏳
🛵 THE Best New Tour in the City
We found a brand new, unique way to explore the city center on stable 4-wheel electric scooters that we are completely obsessed with (and yes, it includes the ultimate food stops) 🍕🇮🇹

This is the CRAZIEST outdoor activity you’ve never heard of — and it NEEDS to go on your bucketlist IMMEDIATELY! 🧗♂️🌊🔥
It’s called Coasteering — and it’s basically:
❄️ Cold plunge ocean swim 🧗 Free climbing 🥾 Hiking 🕳️ Cave exploration ⛰️ Mountaineering 🌊 Canyoning 💦 …plus a WHOLE lotta cliff jumping!
We only learned about it 10 hours before we tried it in Guernsey — and honestly?
It was one of the most epic travel experiences we’ve ever had 🫡
Guernsey is one of the BEST places in the world for coasteering because of its insane 30-foot tides and is who to go with!
🤯 That means you can explore cave systems, rocky trails, and climbing routes that are completely underwater just hours later.
If you love adventure travel, THIS is the experience that will push you, thrill you, and leave you with the best stories of your life 🤩😎
Would you try coasteering on your next trip? 👀

It’s a word we use all the time when we talk about travel and amazing destinations…
But what actually makes a destination ICONIC?
The dictionary says it’s something Legendary, Renowned, Classic, or Symbolic.
And trust us, we’ve been incredibly privileged’s to have seen some incredibly iconic things in this world!
We’ve swam in the clearest water on Earth and stood in front of mountains that literally take your breath away.
But after years of travel, we’ve learned the real truth...
✨ What makes a destination truly ICONIC is the people. ✨
It’s the local tour guides, the history makers, the chefs, the boat captains, and the neighbors you pass along the way who are just trying to make their corner of the world a little brighter.
It’s about the human connection 👇
🍎 Franca in Rome, who has been a staple at her market stall for decades
🏝️ Captain Ted in the Cook Islands, whose passion for his homeland is contagious
🇷🇴 Egmont in Romania, whose brave actions literally changed the course of history
🍝 Michal, whose mission is to make sure every visitor falls in love with Roman cuisine.
This is why we travel. 🤝
We want to show you the world’s most recognizable landmarks, but more importantly, we want to remind you that the most important part of any trip is the local culture and the souls behind the sights.
Traveling with an open heart and an open mind is TRULY the most iconic thing you can do! 🌍❤️
💬 Who is the most memorable person you’ve met on your travels? We want to hear your stories in the comments! 👇

🦈 What if we told you there are NO SHARKS in the most beautiful water in the world?
📍 Welcome to Aitutaki, Cook Islands — your new bucket list destination you’ve probably never heard of.
💦 Aitutaki Lagoon is a 7-mile stretch of water so blue it doesn’t look real. And yes, you heard that right:

The surrounding reef creates a natural barrier, keeping sharks out and giving them their own perfect ocean home.
✨ For all the shark lovers out there, DON’T WORRY — you can still find them beyond the reef on INCREDIBLE dive trips! You can also swim with whales during whale season from late July-October!! 🐋 🦈
💪 But if you’re someone who feels safer and more confident swimming, snorkeling, boating, and floating without the thought of sharks…
🏝️ The Aitutaki Lagoon is your DREAMLAND.
Do sharks in the water make you nervous?! 😬
