6. Taste (and Learn) True Roman Cuisine

7. Play Golf Surrounded by History

Hit the green just minutes from the city at legendary courses like Olgiata (often named Italy’s best) or Acquasanta, the country’s oldest golf club. Stay for a leisurely lunch at the clubhouse—just as rewarding as the game itself.

8. Shop During the Sales

Plan your visit during Rome’s seasonal sales and browse its stylish boutiques for fashion finds at unbeatable prices. Italian elegance is just a suitcase away.

9. Ski in the Morning, Relax on the Beach in the Afternoon

Ski down snow-covered slopes in the morning, then stroll along the coast in the afternoon. Few places in the world offer this kind of magical contrast.

10. Soak in Thermal Bliss

Especially between November and May, unwind in a stunning open-air marble pool filled with natural 35°C thermal waters. It’s the ultimate Roman relaxation.
