My favorite walk is from Piazza Navonna … middle is Via di Tor Millina ..straight down turns into Vicolo della Vacche… turns into Via della Vetrina ..then left or right on Via dei Coronari! Fabulous shops, bars and restaurants.
This video helped me relive my trip to Rome several months ago. It's so wonderful to see the exact same places where I walked.Your informational videos are so helpful. I can't wait to return to Rome, hopefully in a couple of years. Grazie mille!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy it. We have launched the www.florencewise.com website and we have several Florence videos on this channel. There will be lots more coming, too! And we have some videos about other places in Italy, such as Turin, Bologna, the Dolomites, and Naples. Stay tuned as we keep creating!
Thank you Alyssa. We always enjoy your walks. Your historical information and practical tips are greatly appreciated. We have fallen in passionate love with Rome and every video on Rome is a special treat. Grazie Mille.
I did this walk 3 days ago! Highly recommended. Thank you for showing me the way my first day and time in Rome. Thank god I found you! Just need to speak Italian now!
Thank you so much for your realistic walking video. We will be spending three days in Rome in November and look forward to following in your footsteps !
I love your videos and the knowledge and nice way to show my beloved Roma, and your pronunciation is eccellente💕 I go to Roma every year, will be there in October and will make sure to check out some of the ristoranti that you suggested. Love love love your channel grazie tante cara!
Thanks again for an awesome video! You are the best! :) I'm going to Rome in a couple of weeks and your videos are very valuable in preparing for our trip!
We just came back from 8 days Rome! Such a beautiful and intense city full of history, sensational architecture, wonderful food, and great people watching opportunities.
I always check out your vids. We were in Italy a month ago and coincidentally we did the same Pincio walk after Borghese Gallery. Cafe Edy, Between Via Margutta and Babuino is a great family run restaurant. We spent four days in Abruzzo and I was able to find my grandfather's home town of Castel Castagna but due to the continual rains , we were not able to get a look at the Gran Sasso. Rome has become very crowded since my last visit in 2017. I also don't remember as many tourists with backpacks , shorts and tennies. Much more casual now. Thanks for the tip about the night Vatican Tour. It was fabulous.
Thank you for such a nice comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this walk. Yes, Rome is definitely more crowded now which is one reason I wanted to show the Pincio walk - it's a moment of calm! So glad you were able to do the Vatican night tour! Thanks again for commenting!
Ciao Elyssa. Just back from a great but very hot week in Rome. We took this great walking tour you suggest here as I really wanted to see the Piazza Del Popolo. Your guide and advice were perfect even down to the refreshing water fountains. Your walk was perfectly set out and comfortable to complete. Everyone I cannot recommend highly enough Elyssa's advice in her videos. For a perfect trip to Rome follow the advice this lady gives and you will never be disappointed. From my family to you Elyssa Grazie mille and keep these great videos coming.
Hi Peter and thank you for all your wonderfully kind comments about my videos. I am so happy that you enjoy my content but especially that you find it helpful. Thank you for letting me know you took my advice and that it worked out well for you. I appreciate you very much! So glad you and your family had such a wonderful trip to Rome!
I'm obsessed with your video's. Every time I watch you have shown more and more interesting places I want to see. Sooo much to see so little time. I think I need a new pair of walking shoes
Thank you so so much! I am very grateful that you let me know you enjoy my videos and I appreciate you watching! Yes, you definitely need super comfy walking shoes!
We did this walk today! Thank you so much for the perfect reconnaissance walk. Doing the Colosseum and Vatican separately. And your Piazza Sant’ Eustachio Triple Crown was spot on! Pizza Zaza and especially Gunter Gelato made our day!
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the walk! And I'm glad you got to experience the joys of Sant'Eustachio, Pizza Za Za, and Guenther Gelato!
Another great video Elyssa once again a great tip and we will give this walk a go when we are in from from July 12th on one of our free days, I really want to see Piazza del Popolo as the last few times in Rome we did not have enough time. Thanks again for a great tip
My wife and I have visited Rome twice so far. We loved to go for walks and usually managed to get lost every time, which worked out well stumbling across things we never imagined. Of course being Catholic made it all the more special. God bless.
That's one of the best ways to enjoy this beautiful city and many other cities and towns across Italy - just wander, get lost, go down a cute street, pop into a church. In Rome, most churches are full of works of art and you can just explore and enjoy. I'm so glad you love Rome as much as I do. Thank you for your kind comments. God bless you, too!
Yes, we did used to run a B&B but we got out of that business in 2018. We now focus full time on our websites www.romewise.com and www.florencewise.com and this RUclips channel. @@seanbradley3759
Thank you again for another well done video. Can't wait to see it in person. You have definitely helped us map out or trip. You are the best travel guide.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon! Please come back and let us know how you liked the walk!
Hello Ms Elyssa, you are the sweetest, cutest, nicest tour guide in the whole world. Thanks a lot for your videos, I really love them, they're very informative. I hope to meet you one day in gorgeous and magnificent ROMA, ciao e alla prossima ❤😘.
We did the walk today. It took us the entire day but we visited everything we could. This walk is just great. We saw so much. Really thank u for this. It helped us a lot.
We will and thank you again, I’ll looks that the link you shared. at this point we are binge watching all your videos for the best content on RUclips. Lol thanks again.
Yes and they moved to near Via Nazionale later and then a lot of factors caused them to close after 9/11 - the Euro, the internet, etc. There are still some English language bookstores in the area, most notably the Anglo American Bookstore on via della Vite.
Your videos and all of your information are just wonderful. Heading to Rome & Florence this January. My husband and I have been but we are excited to bring our two older teens with us. I'm using Google My Maps and "pinning" all of your wonderful suggestions. Thank you!

Hi thank you from sharing your videos and Tips for Rome. My family is going there for the 1st time in April 17-24, 2025. I’m watching your you tube so I can get ideas on what to do during those days in Rome any tips and advice?. Thank you

I’m staying at Via Frattina 38 00187 Roma RM, Italy for 5 nights and want to relive your walking tour. From Via Frattina 38, what would the street directions be, or the point-of-interest be to join a starting point on your walking tour route?
Hi Joh, and what a great place to stay! I love via Frattina. In the description of the video, I linked to my Google map: My Google Map for this walk: tinyurl.com/47kxshny It may not be 100% the exact spots I showed in this video, but it should do the trick! From where you are staying, you could walk over to Piazza Mignanelli, and walk up the back stairs to the top of the Spanish Steps so you could start the walk from there.
The nearest PIT from you is at Minghetti PIT (Tourist Information) Point, which is on Via del Corso, just past the Trevi Fountain. I suggest walking from via Frattina to Via del Corso, making a left, and walking to the PIT from there. About 10 minutes. You can find the exact route with Google maps. Just use the Minghetti PIT as your destination. @@johngraves8561
Yes we have a lot of great markets in Rome. I have a page about them here: www.romewise.com/rome-food-markets.html You won't find much in the way of markets on this video, although I did mention Campo dei Fiori which is close to Piazza Navona and you could include it on this walk if you have time and energy.
I’m coming to Rome the week of Thanksgiving. Any chance you’d be willing to take me around on this walk? I’m a middle aged gay man. Happy to compensate you generously for your time. You seem kind and lovely.
That's so kind of you. I'd be delighted to show you around on this walk except I am always in the US for Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful visit this fall!
DId you see a statue of her in this video? If so, please let me know the time marker so I can look it up. Otherwise if you are just asking where you can find statues of her in Rome, there are a couple of spots I know of. One would be at the church dedicated to her. The church of Santa Maria Maddalena near the Pantheon. Another place you can find a statue of her is inside the church of San Bernardo alle Terme.
Most definitely! I live here and...as the Romans say, a lifetime is not enough! Also I mention in this video that this walk could be part of a longer itinerary. I don't include the Vatican or Colosseum here, which each merit their own day if not more!
With these chronic prolonged heatwaves we italians should start to wear hats again, like you do and like tourists do and as everyone did until the '50's.
Ha ha! You are so right! Good catch! Seriously though, you may more likely find a light with a coin-operated switch, than you will actual candles. They are getting less common.
Yes. LED tea lights are becoming the norm (I presume for fire prevention). Even at St Peter's, though Santa Maria degli Angeli et dei Martiri still had votive candles when I was last there...
@@dgschindele Yes, I'm seeing the candles less and less. They do have them in the Florence cathedral but not in St. Peter's. You will also find them here in Rome at Santa Prassede, among other churches (this one just comes to mind because I was there recently.)
Are you telling me you are there now and it's mobbed? I still have more secret spots to share....stay tuned for my upcoming video to be released this Sunday!

There was a an English bookstore on Via del Bubuino in the 80s
Yes and they moved to near Via Nazionale later and then a lot of factors caused them to close after 9/11 - the Euro, the internet, etc. There are still some English language bookstores in the area, most notably the Anglo American Bookstore on via della Vite.

There has been a good traveling Da Vinci exhibit here in the US for the past couple of years. Maybe Rome should buy it once it's run its course here?

From Via Frattina 38, what would the street directions be, or the point-of-interest be to join a starting point on your walking tour route?
Hi Joh, and what a great place to stay! I love via Frattina. In the description of the video, I linked to my Google map:

Most definitely! I live here and...as the Romans say, a lifetime is not enough! Also I mention in this video that this walk could be part of a longer itinerary. I don't include the Vatican or Colosseum here, which each merit their own day if not more!
nice hat;-)
Thanks! 😁
With these chronic prolonged heatwaves we italians should start to wear hats again, like you do and like tourists do and as everyone did until the '50's.
My mom always says to wear a hat in the sun, and she is right! It definitely makes a difference.
I would recommend lighting up a candle and not a chapel. 😅
Ha ha! You are so right! Good catch!
Seriously though, you may more likely find a light with a coin-operated switch, than you will actual candles. They are getting less common.
Yes. LED tea lights are becoming the norm (I presume for fire prevention). Even at St Peter's, though Santa Maria degli Angeli et dei Martiri still had votive candles when I was last there...
