Welcome to the Eternal City! This bespoke 7-day itinerary is meticulously crafted for two travelers looking to uncover the majestic soul of Rome through a "Slow Travel" lens, ensuring a rich, authentic experience that respects an economical budget without compromising on magic.

🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect intense Roman summer heat with temperatures peaking at +36°C. The sun is relentless from 12:00 to 17:00. Clothing: Lightweight linen or cotton, a wide-brimmed hat, and comfortable walking sandals. Always carry a light scarf to cover shoulders/knees for church entries. Hydration: Look for "Nasoni" (drinking fountains). The water is ice-cold and free. Strategy: We utilize the "Siesta" method—exploring early and late, resting during the midday furnace.
