If you decide to visit Rome, we recommend taking a morning walk just after sunrise to explore the city streets. This is a magical time when the soft, rich light bathes everything in a golden glow, making the surroundings exceptionally beautiful. The cool thing about heading out at sunrise is that you get to see the streets of Rome without the mobs of tourists that you can see at other times of the day. We think that’s a pretty cool experience.
