Where do you begin when deciding what to see and do in Rome? This is our editorial selection: nine ideas for exploring the city and a visit to our own studio, TAGS Design Studio. It is not an independent ranking or a checklist to complete in one day. Choose a few nearby stops and check access, opening hours and reservations on official websites before setting off.
The TAGS guide
Ten ideas, your own pace.
1. See the Pantheon up close
Start in Piazza della Rotonda, look at the portico and decide whether to visit inside too. It makes a useful starting point for exploring the historic centre. Check entry arrangements on the official website before your visit, especially if you are fitting it between other appointments.
2. Pause in Piazza Navona
Give the square more than a quick photograph. Walk through it and compare the three fountains, then choose a detail to sketch or write down. Combine this stop with the Pantheon and the surrounding streets, allowing some room for small detours along the way.
3. Create an accessory at the TAGS Patch Bar
Our creative stop is at Via della Dogana Vecchia 9: choose a base, compose it with patches and let the team handle the final application. Visit on your own or with company and leave with a personal keepsake. If you are coming as a group, contact us beforehand.
4. Visit Campo de’ Fiori
Include the square when you explore the Navona area. Treat it as a place to pause and look around, without necessarily adding another ticketed attraction. If you want to see the market, check current visitor information before deciding when to go.
5. Make time for the Colosseum and archaeological area
Decide beforehand what you want to visit and arrange any tickets through official channels. Give this part of Rome its own place in your itinerary rather than treating it as a quick detour between shops. Plan other activities around your booked entry.
6. Look closely at the Trevi Fountain
Find a place to appreciate the fountain’s composition as well as taking a picture. It is a busy landmark: check current access rules and follow the indicated routes. You can connect it with a walk through the centre while keeping the rest of your plans flexible.
7. Take a break in Villa Borghese
Balance the streets of the centre with a walk in the park. Choose an area to explore instead of trying to cover it all. If you want to add a museum, check tickets and reservations separately: a park walk and a museum visit need different kinds of planning.
8. See Rome from the Pincio terrace
A viewpoint can change how you read a city after walking through its streets. Combine the Pincio with a walk in the Villa Borghese area. Check which route suits your needs: slopes and access ramps may influence your choice of approach.
9. Explore Trastevere slowly
Give the neighbourhood part of your day rather than reducing it to a single photograph. Pick some streets to walk along and notice signs, façades and squares. People live here too: respect doorways and residents’ space while looking for your own view of the neighbourhood.
10. Finish with a written or sketched memory
Before leaving, choose a moment from the trip and put it on a postcard or in a notebook. You can do this during a break, without adding another destination. A few words, a drawing and the date turn a day full of places into a personal memory.
