Rome in summer can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. The ancient cobblestones radiate heat, tourist crowds peak at midday, and many (not all!) shops close in the early afternoons. This may seem like a mysterious occurrence, but it’s actually not at all mysterious! Seasoned travellers know that this period when the city slows down is […]| From Home to Rome
