Rome Travel Stories: Why We Keep Returning to the Eternal City

We’ve been to Rome more times than we can count, and every trip feels different. This episode walks through the places we returned to in Rome and the small moments that stuck with us. It also covers the things we love most about the Eternal City. From long walks through historic neighborhoods to the museums and cafés we always end up in, this is our easy, low-pressure guide to exploring Rome over and over again.

Episode Summary

Rome always finds a way back into our travel plans. We’ve stayed near the Spanish Steps and rented an Airbnb by the Colosseum. We wandered through different parts of the city each time. Some trips were busy and planned. Others were slow, with long mornings and late nights walking through quiet streets.

In this Rome travel episode, we talk about the corners of Rome that keep us hooked and the activities we repeat every visit. We also discuss the places we stumbled into by accident. We share the experiences that surprised us, the neighborhoods we loved most, and what keeps bringing us back to the Eternal City year after year.
