✨ Travel Tip Tuesday ✨
When you're traveling, eating local isn’t just about food—it’s about culture! 🍝 Give it a chance, try dishes as they are, and resist the urge to change them (no parmesan on your spaghetti alle vongole or cappuccino after 11am! 😉). The real magic is experiencing flavors the way locals do. Respect the tradition and embrace the difference—it’s part of the adventure! 🌍🍷

✨ What can I say? I'm a little biased... and yeah, I live right around the corner from Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica, but it never gets old! 💛 These photos, thanks to my #Roman friend who recently visited @pillaraffaele, perfectly capture the beauty and vibe of this hidden gem. 🌿
One of the best things about Ostia Antica is that it’s not nearly as crowded as other famous monuments. It’s a #UNESCO site—one of 60 in Italy (the most of any country!) 🇮🇹. Did you know it’s also the 2nd largest archaeological site in Italy, after Pompeii? 🏛️ And it's so easy to reach, being close to the center of Rome. You can even take a boat along the Tiber River to get there. 🚤 How cool is that?
I recommend Ostia Antica over and over again, and the feedback I get is always amazing! If you haven’t been yet, trust me—put it on your list. It’s a do-not-miss destination for anyone looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience in Italy. 🌍

✨ Rome’s Treasures: The Price of Preservation Amid Overtourism ✨
The Trevi Fountain, like so many of Rome’s iconic landmarks, has been overwhelmed by overtourism, making it harder to truly connect with its beauty. Having lived in Rome 17 years ago, I remember late-night visits where the fountain felt almost like my own secret retreat. Now, it’s nearly impossible to enjoy that moment unless you go early morning 🌅 or very late at night 🌙. Even then, it’s a challenge.n😳😬
This trend isn’t unique to the Trevi. Roughly a year ago, Rome introduced a small entrance fee to the #Pantheon—just 5 Euros—creating a more organized system, limiting the number of visitors allowed inside at one time. While it’s still busy, the experience is much more controlled and enjoyable.
The idea of tickets or tourism taxes, like the one being proposed for the Trevi Fountain 🎟️ or Venice’s new entrance tax, has raised concerns. But here's the truth: these small fees not only help regulate the crowds, they also contribute to the restoration and preservation of these incredible sites. It’s an investment in protecting landmarks like the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, ensuring they remain intact for generations to come.
Both sites are pillars of rich history and are part of Italy's invaluable cultural heritage—preservation isn’t just necessary, it’s essential. 🇮🇹
If you're looking for ways to experience Rome beyond the overcrowded streets, I’m here to help you plan a journey that captures the city’s timeless charm without the chaos. Reach out, and let’s design something extraordinary. ✨
