Best Rome Food and Travel Blogs

Our Favorite Rome Bloggers to Follow

If you are looking for some real insight when planning your trip to Rome, then bloggers are a good place to start. While traditional guidebooks and travel websites are a useful resource, nowadays the advent of the travel blogger has opened up the world of local, personal reviews, and experiences paired with up-to-date, real-time information.

 

It is no surprise that Rome has a rich community of foreigners who moved here to experience their very own slice of la dolce vita, and what often starts as a fun way to keep in touch with their native country often evolves and expands to a wider readership looking for insider hints and tips. Rome’s blogger community not only helps visitors plan their vacation but are also helpful to residents like ourselves keen to keep up with the city’s news, openings, and closures or looking for recipes and recommendations.

 

So whether you are organizing a trip to Rome, already live here, or just want to read about life in this incredible city, here is a list of some of our favorite Rome-based bloggers to check out.
