Episode notes
Rome's Layers Hide Many Quiet Gems
- Rome layers 2,500 years of history so standard highlights reveal only a sliver of its past.
- Small, lesser-known sites often have few tourists despite high historical value.
Skip Lines And Get A Guide
- Do book a VIP Colosseum tour to access the underground tunnels and skip long lines.
- Hire a guide for the Forum so ruins gain context and don't just look like a bunch of old stones.
Book Vatican Gardens And Scavi Early
- Do consider a Vatican Gardens tour to avoid museum lines and include garden highlights.
- Reserve the Scavi (St. Peter's excavations) in advance to see Peter's tomb in a small guided group.
