Everyone needs to go to Rome at least once.  A small group tour to Rome is a staple on The Traveling Professor's Italy trips. Because of the crowds, Rome can be a difficult venue to maneuver.   Lines at major attractions can be overwhelming.  In today's blog post, The Professor will detail his favorite places to go in Rome and how to do those favorite places the right way.http://www.travelingprofessor.com/

Rome is one of the most popular destination in all of Europe.  The Traveling Professor has led many small group tours to Rome since 2010.   One of our favorite activities is to wander around this open-air museum.   Check out today's blog post for a worthwhile itinerary when visiting this ancient city.

The Traveling Professor is getting ready for another small group tour to Rome as well as the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Venice.  A significant part of touring any Italian city is a visit to their markets.   I have listed in today's blog post some of my favorite markets while visiting Rome.   There will be food, wine, cheese and all sorts of wonderful items that I will stock up on for our 2-week tour of Italy.

On  tours to Italy we always take a day to walk through the heart of Rome.  As we stroll through the heart of Rome it is a tour through thousands of years of history.   We see some of the most famous sights in all the world.  I know all the health experts say that walking will help someone lose weight, but on our tours of Italy, we consume so much gelato, delicious pizza, tartuffo and other treats, our 1-mile walk through Rome might be an experience where we put on a few pounds, rather than lose them.  Take a look at my blog post to see how we plan our walking tour of Rome while visiting Italy.
