A Slow Traveller’s Guide to Rome

Why we featured this post

This Rome post is for families who want less sprinting, more savoring. Renee explains how to plan a slow-paced trip by picking one “anchor” each day (a landmark or museum) and letting the rest unfold, which is a sanity-saver with kids. She also gets practical about choices that shape the whole visit, like staying on a street where local morning routines set the tone. Expect ideas for wandering neighborhoods like Trastevere and the Jewish Quarter, finding gardens and quiet corners, and even tackling the Vatican without losing your mind.

Things to do

• Choose one daily anchor, then wander around it
• Walk along the Tiber as the light changes
• Explore Trastevere, the Jewish Quarter, and Quartiere Coppedè
• Plan the Vatican around one highlight to manage crowds
