✈️ Italy: Rome — June 17–24, 2026

Welcome to your bespoke Roman holiday, meticulously crafted for two explorers seeking the city's "secret soul." This unconventional journey bypasses the typical tourist traps to reveal industrial archaeology, Art Nouveau fairy tales, and ancient underground mysteries.

🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures reaching +32°C. The sun is intense, so the "Siesta Strategy" is key: explore early and late, seeking refuge in cool churches or museums during the 13:00–17:00 peak. Wear breathable fabrics, a wide-brimmed hat, and sturdy shoes for the sampietrini (cobblestones). Keep a refillable bottle handy for the nasoni (drinking fountains) found throughout the city.

💰 Trip budget
