I grew up watching Rick Steves on PBS as a kid, I had never travelled outside of the US since our family was super poor but I always dreamed of visiting Rome. Glad to say in college I'll be going in May!
Congratulations on your trip! I know how excited you are. I recently retired from a humble job and this coming Septembner I will be taking a trip to Rome, Florence and Venice. I've saved and dreamed of this trip my whole life. I'm so excited. I'm 70 years old. Have a great time and be safe.
I've watched every episode of Rick Steves' Europe at least a half dozen times each. Thank you so much for transporting us to places we likely won't ever be able to afford to go.
Don't be cruel to yourself by saying "i likely wont ever be able to afford"... Everything is possible with planning, effort and a little bit of faith! ;)
Hello Rick, this is Ashwin from Rome. What you had at Al Farnese wasn’t mozzarella, it’s called Burrata, hard from outside like mozzarella but inside is filled with fresh cheese called stracciatella making it super creamy and tastes much much better than mozzarella. My suggestion to all tourists….try Burrata , if not available (as it’s not in menu of all Italian restaurants) then try mozzarella di buffala (Made with milk of water bufalo) is much creamier and richer than regular mozzarella.
Rome, the eternal city . I have been there. It is best explored travelling by foot / bus/ trains. Imbibe its atmosphere, culture, cuisine and night life and street life. I can walk for years in Rome and not be done seeing it all. That is how magnificent Rome is. Kudos to Rick Steves for capturing it in this video.
I think I walked more in Rome than any other city- after 8 miles in a day I tapped out. Gorgeous city and wonderful food. Glad I was able to visit pre Covid
What I loved about Rome so much was how walkable it was. Main "arteries" of streets led you directly to key area/sites. Which, also made wondering away from these, quite easy to find our way back to our hotel. Rome, the eternal city of "bucket-list" sites.
I agree ! Just a little walk across the bridge at Castel Sant Angelo and you are in the hustle and bustle of Piazza Navona and that is but one of thousands of examples
Many, many thanks to Rick Steves and the team. Been to Rome once, but never saw it as definitively as in this ad-free video---it is very much appreciated. It's been a precious 55 minutes being spent walking through a gorgeous city, gaining both knowledge and enjoyment. May your good karma bring you true happiness and the peace of life!
Thank you Rick, thank you for your kindness in spreading the beauty of Rome. The Rome that must belong to all humanity, for what it was and for what it is today. Our Italy is truly wonderful. I am from Milan and it is equally wonderful, as are the over 8000 Italian municipalities. Each with its historical and social characteristics. Thanks again. Good life.
As a Roman citizen, I have to say that this documentary on Rome deeply impressed me. Even though I live here, your way of telling the story of the city and exploring it through history and culture made me discover aspects I didn't know. Your ability to engage the viewer from start to finish is extraordinary, and I enjoyed every single minute of the video. Thank you for showing Rome in such a fascinating and authentic light!
Fantastic video. Me and my wife were in Rome last month just for 4 days. We did everything we wanted to but it's left a lasting impression on us both. Probably the best place I've ever been to. We are planning to go again when we both turn 40 in 2024.
40? You said this as if you were 90, man :) You're both young and you go and explore. My wife and I are both 45 and we started travelling and exploring not that long ago and if I may suggest something rather important to you both would be this: please do not make the mistake most Americans do when they travel to "Europe" - they only see Paris and London, the postcard places which live in their global mentlaity as real Europe. Nope. Go to Austria, visit the Alps, the Dolomites, see the Netherlands, Brugge - the oldest medieval city on the planet. Go to Poland, see the Baltic Sea, the Hel Peninsula, the Tatra Mountains, Bieszczady Mountains and take a bike ride along the Dunajec River in Pienininy Mountains. See the Czech Republic, see the Balkans: Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro. Visit Greece, Malta, Portugal and its amazing island - Madeira. Go to Budapest, Bavaria (Bayern) in Germany, see Saltzburg and Graz in Austria. While in Italy, visit Lake Como, Lake Garda, and the surrounding villages. Go to Bari, Sicyly, go to Florence, MIlan, Venice, and dozens of mindblowing willages and locations along the route. And, above all, smell, taste, eat and drink as much local stuff as possible. Try to blend in. Feel the locality of the place. Talk to people. I hope you;ll see how life get its meaning when you learn from your travels and thanks to them. Enjoy, and have happy and memorable journeys!
Italy is such a beautiful country. I have taken virtual walks thru all of Europe and felt like I was there in person. Your videos which I always enjoyed are very nice and informativeExcellent job I never tire of watching them
oh, finally!! the long-duration-episode from this channel that i've been waiting for all of my life! and as always, rick never disappoints. wishing that i could have a chance to visit italy someday. u did great on it, rick!
I loved this tour!!! Thank you. So many beautiful spots. You're right, the churches are like museums. They are exquisite! So much to see. I loved every minute!🥰♥️
Rome is definitely an incredible city if you love history and art. The traffic, graffiti and smoking is there but it's more than worth having to see this city. In terms of some of the quieter sites the Diocletian and Baths of Carcalla are really worth visiting. I also liked the Eustrucan museum.
Marvellous!! Can't find words to commend the way you have conducted this virtual tour of Rome. Perhaps, I couldn't have explored these fantastic places even after staying there for many days. Thanks a lot
Awesome as usual. Rome deserves this hour, for Steve to show us it’s magical history. Thank you Steve for your hard work putting it all together…Can’t wait to visit Rome!
I love all your programs,, it gives me the possibility to travel "virtually", hoping one day will be able to visit Europe in person. Thank you. Very grateful.
What a beautiful and entertaining video. A detailed description of Rome. Very good presentation, very good videography. The videos made by other vloggers about Rom are completely incomplete. Thank you so much . God bless you....!!!
We walked to the Jewish ghetto from our hotel. We ate there. The food was good. We visited a synagogue. We also visited the Vatican. We saw the Spanish Steps and ate at the restaurant to the left of them-Babbington's.
Initially I visited Rome a few times with friends but in the mid nineties I moved there for a few years living in the old center. It was absolutely life changing, as I had the time to take it ALL in at my own pace. This was before the ticketing process and then everything was free, uncrowded and cheap (as we had a great exchange with the Lira!). I'm hesitant to go back as it seems quite Disney-esque these days ... but I will! And crowded as it is, I tell everyone to go. The beauty will dazzle you!
Rome is a beautiful city with many attractions we've been there before during our travels to Rome, The Leaning Tower of Pisa the Coleseum The Vetican , The beautiful cathedrals , The beautiful architecture and the beautiful women like Sofia Loren and Venice even Macau now have a copy of Venice The capital of gambling like Las Vegas !
This video is really nice and trustful I'm here in Rome and I can say this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen (not perfect ofc), so much to see just walking around and with a moderate butget, you can afford nice bars and exquisite food, the views are amazing, even the wether is amazing, the italian taste and style is evident in some neighborhoods, the freshwater is free all around the city center by the little "nasoni" fountains, and there's even San Peter here, if you can don't miss Rome and stay more time as you can to enjoy better this amazing place💕
I was in Rome a few years ago for 1 week. I loved it. So many places to visit. My favorite was inside St Peter's Basilica - it felt like I was in heaven.
I hope, you hit the 5 M subscribers soon!! I was there in May and I enjoyed it way better with this tour than myself and friends! Thanks so much. Blessings
All glories to Marcus Aurelius and his "Meditations!" "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive-to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
06 Jul 2022 - I like your videos, its been a long time since I saw your last video, eagerly waiting for your videos, I watch all your videos and never misses any episodes, Thank you and God Bless you with good health and prosperity,
I am going there and was looking for something that shows the history of the places and not only basic travel tips, from a trustworthy source. Thank you!
Your videos are, by far, the best options for those who really want to travel off-the-beaten tracks. Accurate explanations, careful revisions. Amazing !
Loved this tour of Rome, which I've been fortunate to visit twice but only for a few days each time. One thing to point out, though, is that San Giovanni in Laterano is the cathedral of Rome.
I have been to Rome but I had not listened to this before going, I wish I had! Anyway, I want to come back, but this time, with more knowledge about Rome so that I know where I am standing! Probably, being in Rome, I will probably be standing in a famous place! so, I am listening to this over and over again while I ride my bicycle in the morning, so everytime I pass by the store, I know it's the colosseum and I imagine that all the people going to buy groceries are romans going to watch the gladiators!!...well...too much imagination!!
I grew up watching Rick Steves on PBS as a kid, I had never travelled outside of the US since our family was super poor but I always dreamed of visiting Rome. Glad to say in college I'll be going in May!

Good for you! Be safe and have lots of fun. I hope my sister and I can go later in the year. Chao!❤
See you there! I arrive for school in June!
Good luck
Have fun on your trip!
I've watched every episode of Rick Steves' Europe at least a half dozen times each. Thank you so much for transporting us to places we likely won't ever be able to afford to go.
Me too
There are many legit organizations that offer volunteer jobs overseas. You get to travel for free. Check out some videos on RUclips.
I believe that you will able to visit and experience it someday. Trust the universe.
Don't be cruel to yourself by saying "i likely wont ever be able to afford"... Everything is possible with planning, effort and a little bit of faith! ;)

Visiting ROME made me cry as its so peaceful and beautiful statues art and churches. I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE.
It's an amazing city. I wouldn't call it peaceful though. Lots of traffic, graffiti, noisy crowds.

Is walkable because is not driveable😂😂😂😂😂

I have been twice, in organized tours and maybe 10 years in between trips. Never saw so much of Rome like in this one hour videos. Great!
This has to be THE BEST video in all of youtube of ROme !! Splendid ! Amazing work!!.
Thank you Rick, thank you for your kindness in spreading the beauty of Rome. The Rome that must belong to all humanity, for what it was and for what it is today. Our Italy is truly wonderful.

I've been to Rome 3 times and I watch this video all the time because I always miss it so much
Thank you Steve. Rome is not simple, it's amazing, wonderful and history in every inch of it.
Thank you Rick...for taking me to Rome. Wonderful show.

We’ve been in Rome several times. We’ll be there in February again for a week and revisit all these great sites again.
A sea of love and thanks for this beautiful video dear Rick steve. 💗💗🌹🇵🇰🌹🇵🇰🌲🌲💗🇵🇰
Rome is an amazing city, just wandering the streets is an activity in itself!
Italy is such a beautiful country. I have taken virtual walks thru all of Europe and felt like I was there in person. Your videos which I always enjoyed are very nice and informativeExcellent job I never tire of watching them
As an Italian and a Roman, the way you pronounced "pooncharellay" worthed the whole video!!! Simply lovely! Thank you guys great job!
Rick & Team; WOW! Fabulous ride. THANKYOU.
This and a few glasses of wine might just be the cure for depression.
Friends😊
Yes Rome is probably One of the most beautiful cities in the World
oh, finally!! the long-duration-episode from this channel that i've been waiting for all of my life! and as always, rick never disappoints. wishing that i could have a chance to visit italy someday. u did great on it, rick!
I've been to Rome twice and enjoyed it very much. The Spanish Steps are really beautiful when covered with flowers.
🙏🏻Thanks so much 📀Rick tour 🕊Rome .how so beautiful 💫I love it 💫God many blessings to you 🙏🏻and your family 💫🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻📀👨👩👧👦
I saw what you did there Rick. Comparing America's thirst for violence with Rome is just brilliant.
Video magistrale sulla più bella città del mondo, grazie mille 💝🌍🇮🇹
Yes.
But slso dirty and neglected 🤔
I loved this tour!!! Thank you. So many beautiful spots. You're right, the churches are like museums. They are exquisite! So much to see. I loved every minute!🥰♥️
I love Rome, i have so many wonderful memories , and you showed all my most treasured places. I must go back !
Studying up for my first Rick Steves tour, a week in Rome. So excited to finally be doing this dream trip.
There is always something new to discover in Rome. Just wandering around is a discovery fest. Enjoy your trip. Bon voyage!
How did it go
I have just returned from Rome ! Had an awesome time ! Can't wait to go back !
We visited Italy 2017, staying in Rome for 1 week. This excellent video brought back so many great memories! Time for another visit🧳🙂
Rome is definitely an incredible city if you love history and art. The traffic, graffiti and smoking is there but it's more than worth having to see this city. In terms of some of the quieter sites the Diocletian and Baths of Carcalla are really worth visiting. I also liked the Eustrucan museum.
These series are very cozy. It's like back in the 90's.
Marvellous!! Can't find words to commend the way you have conducted this virtual tour of Rome. Perhaps, I couldn't have explored these fantastic places even after staying there for many days. Thanks a lot
From TRUDIVA ... I love this episode it definitely shows Rome being "Eternally Engaging"!
Love Rome! Thanks Rick and team ❤️
Nice to visit Rome via this video. And Bernini, what a talent that guy was!
Ever enchanting Rome! Thoroughly loved this video. Thanks.
Great photography! Magical light! Great to see such a thorough description of one city🥰
Thanks Rick and team. I recently visited Roma and it was a dream. You’re the best guide world wide.
Magnifico! This one hour will transport you away to the best this city has to offer.

Always love the way you always give a breif history of the plac Thank you for your amazing travel
I love all your programs,, it gives me the possibility to travel "virtually", hoping one day will be able to visit Europe in person. Thank you. Very grateful.
what a awesome life you have lived Rick! getting paid to do what you love and explore the world!
Great one, only video which shows Rome in such a detail presented all aspects of Rome's culture and most importantly religion.
Best city in the world. Must go back
Rick you are a legend. I always watch your videos before visiting anywhere in europe
Visited Rome 10 yrs ago. It was awesome. Want to go back.
Having just returned from a trip to Rome, loved this ♥️🙏
Amo il tuo nome
What a beautiful and entertaining video. A detailed description of Rome. Very good presentation, very good videography. The videos made by other vloggers about Rom are completely incomplete. Thank you so much . God bless you....!!!
Rome is my favorite

I had the opportunity to visit Rome this summer and it was an amazing trip.
Rick, you do such a good job educating and inspiring us about Rome, Italy and travel itself!
Made my trip in October ‘21 with daughter studying in Florence. Rick’s walking tour podcasts were essential! 😎
Please bring more Rick - these videos are amazing and so calming..its like meditation for me.
Thank you once again for giving us the best travel show available! I love all of your videos and advice.
Rick Steves. How I loved watching your show on Sunday mornings
Rome is a beautiful city with many attractions we've been there before during our travels to Rome, The Leaning Tower of Pisa the Coleseum The Vetican , The beautiful cathedrals , The beautiful architecture and the beautiful women like Sofia Loren and Venice even Macau now have a copy of Venice The capital of gambling like Las Vegas !
Супер репортаж видел много чудес супер города мира ! ! !❤❤❤❤ 😎😀😋🙂
this is an old video but still I'm enjoyed watching it........you can see the beauty of Rome is out of this world.
I truly love this old style. It bring me to the middle ages.

Like the guidebooks, Rick’s updated videos are both familiar and newly informative
Going to Italy this summer for about 4 weeks. These videos help out a lot. Cant wait to see Italy
Love Rick!
Got me through two years travelling with him via video.
Thank you.
I hope, you hit the 5 M subscribers soon!! I was there in May and I enjoyed it way better with this tour than myself and friends! Thanks so much. Blessings
AMAZING! Very well documented video covering almost all aspects that a traveler to Rome would be looking for.
All glories to Marcus Aurelius and his "Meditations!" "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive-to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
And his devine son, the Stalin of the Antike: Commodus! 😍😍🙏

Thank you travel master🙏🏽
I visit Rome and the Vatican last year it was amazing.

"SO DONT ASK FOR WEIRD THINGS!" Good advice for all of us.
I am going there and was looking for something that shows the history of the places and not only basic travel tips, from a trustworthy source. Thank you!
This is much much much much better than any of the travel vlogging videos
As always, a fine Rick Steves production. Just returned from Rome, and it was delicious to relive the city. Thanks
Thank you, happy travel. Can't wait for next video sharing ❤❤
It was a treat for eyes and your commentary for ears. Wonderful visuals made my day. Thanks for your treat.
