Что нужно посмотреть в Риме? Мой путеводитель по Риму

 Для начала напишу небольшое предисловие об этом посте и нескольких последующих. Я решила делать посты «по заявкам» своих друзей, знакомых, близких и своих читателей! Так что если вам хочется чтоб я рассказала про что-то конкретное, то смело пишите сюда, на почту или куда хотите. Здесь в комментариях даже можно оставить пожелание анонимно! Так что — вперед! я буду рада прочесть ваши идеи и написать о том, что именно Вам интересно!

А теперь про конкретно этот пост — меня попросила подруга Леночка, о том, чтоб я поделилась теми местами, которые обязательно стоит посетить в Риме. Путеводителей сейчас так много, они все толще и толще и уж по вечному городу Риму то особенно! Поэтому на звание автора путеводителя я не рассчитываю, а лишь хочу поделиться теми местами, которые я сама видела и которые посоветовала бы тем, кто едет в город ненадолго.
Во первых, все эти достопримечательности можно обойти за 1 день
Во вторых, как мне кажется, это наиболее яркие, запоминающиеся и интересные места
В третьих, они все совершенно разные, потому что какими бы не были красивыми католические храмы или античные постройки, если их посмотреть очень много, то потом перестаешь воспринимать эту красоту вовсе. А тут собраны самые разные места, которые помогут сформировать самое приятное впечатление о Вечном городе с многовековой историей!

Что нужно обязательно сделать в Риме?

Покушать мороженое (по-итальянски «джелато»)
В Кафе Giolitti мороженое делают с конца XX века, а городской «джелатерией» №1 это место считается с 1953 года, когда Грегори Пек угостил Одри Хёпберн купленным здесь вафельным рожком, и это увидел весь мир – в фильме «Римские каникулы».)
Адрес: 40, via Uffici del Vicario, Рим

Искупаться в фонтане Треви вам не дадут, но сфотографироваться на его фоне и бросить монетку все же стоит, особенно вечером, когда туристов не так много.
Адрес: Piazza di Trevi

Посетить самое красивое место с панорамным видом на город, панорамная площадка на Авентинском холме или ресторан с панорамным видом. Найдите место, где можно посидеть и полюбоваться городом.Места с панорамным видом в Риме: Ресторан Aroma (Via Labicana 125, 00184 Рим, Италия), Панорамная площадка на Авентинском холме (Circo Massimo, Via di Santa Sabina), Площадка на
крыше Собора Святого Петра (Ватикан), Монте Марио (Via Alberto Cadlolo, 10) холм в 15 минутах езды от центра Рима, является самой высокой точкой Рима, именно там находится единственный в Риме ресторан, обладающий 3 звездами Мишлена, под названием La Pergola.

Отправить открытку из Ватикана 
Слева от Собора Святого Петра находится вход на отделение почты Ватикан. Как мне кажется, почта Ватикана работает только на то, чтобы рассылать каждый день открытки по всему миру) Там стоят огромные столы, за которыми сидят туристы, подписывающие открытки друзьям и родственникам, а потом обязательно фотографируются, опускаю стопку открыток в желтый почтовый ящик.
Адрес: Площадь Святого Петра

Что нужно посмотреть в Риме?

С чего начать знакомство с Римом, Вечный город уж очень подавляет величием и историей? Конечно с Колизея! 

Колизей  Colosseo

Адрес: cт. м. Colosseo, Via dei Fori Imperiali
Официальный сайт Колизея

Символ итальянской столицы, запечатленный на всевозможных открытках, календарях и статуэтках. Когда-то трибуны Колизея могли вместить 50 тысяч кровожадных зрителей! Неподалеку от него расположен один из самых знаменитых ресторанов Рима, обладатель звезды Мишлен — ресторан Aroma. С его вернады открывается потрясающий панорамный вид на Колизей, а вкус блюд и цены не оставят равнодушных:)  Дамам подают меню без стоимости блюд, а шеф-повар обязательно угостит какими-нибудь закусками или концертами ручной работы, чтобы поднять настроение!

Витториано  Vittoriano

Адрес: Piazza Venezia
Белоснежный и величественный монумент на Площади Венеции в честь первого короля новой Италии Витторио Эммануэле Второго. Памятник называется Витториано, и если подняться по лестнице повыше, то со смотровой площадки откроется вид на центральные улицы Рима и огромный развевающийся трехцветный флаг Италии (белый — вера, зеленый — надежда, красный — любовь).

Капитолийский холм  Campidoglio

Адрес: Piazza del Campidoglio
Именно здесь древние римляне построили самые важные из своих храмов — богинь Юноны и Виртус и царя всех богов Юпитера Оптимуса Максимуса (этот храм был почти таким же огромным, как Парфенон в Афинах) и назвали Капитолийский холм главным символом Рима. В Средние Века на холме возвели дворцы и усадили в них правительство, а дизайн дворцовой площади — Piazza del Campidoglio — доверили Микеланджело, который заодно придумал проект Нового дворца (Palazzo Nuovo) и усовершенствовал фасады Дворца консерваторов (Palazzo dei Conservatori) и Сенаторов (Palazzo Senatorio).

Фонтан Четырех Рек  Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi

Адрес: Piazza Navona

Одна из самых больших площадей Рима — овальная Пьяцца Навона с множеством кафешек по диаметру и Фонтаном Четырех Рек в середине. Фонтан был придуман, чтобы украсить очередной обелиск, привезенный из Египта императором Каракаллой. У подножия египетского столба — статуи богов главных рек четырех частей света (Ганга, Нила, Дуная и Ла-Платы).

Пантеон  Pantheon 

Адрес: Piazza della Rotonda

Недалеко от Пьяцца Навона находится Пантеон — храм всех богов, он же — усыпальница знаменитостей вроде Рафаэля и Витторио Эммануэле. Огромный купол Пантеона считается инженерным и архитектурным шедевром: его диаметр равен 45 метрам, при этом ни единой опоры у купола нет. В середине — широкое круглое отверстие, оттуда свет проникает внутрь храма. Ровно в полдень можно увидеть настоящий столб света, настолько плотный, что почти осязаемый. Желающим увидеть такое чудо придется сообщить, что виден этот столб лишь летом, когда солнце стоит высоко, а в остальное время года его почти не видно.

Фонтан Треви  Fontana di Trevi

Адрес: Piazza di Trevi, от Via del Corso идти по Via delle Muratte

Фонтан Треви — один из символов Рима и один из самых красивых в мире, — не просто статуя в чаше, а целая скульптурно-водная композиция, которая занимает пусть маленькую, но площадь. Нептун на колеснице в виде огромной морской раковины раздает указания морским конькам и водным потокам, а декорацией к этому спектаклю выступает фасад дворца в стиле барокко — палаццо Поли.

     Фонтан Треви был романтической декорацией многих фильмов: «Римские каникулы», «Безумно влюбленный» , а в «Сладкой жизни» Феллини с Марчелло Мастроянни фонтан и вовсе играет одну из главных ролей.  Треви особенно красив поздним вечером и ночью, когда вода красиво подсвечивается лампочками. 

     Кто-то верит в то, что если в Фонтан Треви бросить одну монетку, вы обязательно вернетесь в Рим; вторая монетка поможет вам познакомиться с итальянцем, а третья гарантирует скорую свадьбу. Каждый день фонтан Треви за счет бросаемых в него монеток обогащается на 1500 евро в среднем. За неделю доход Нептуна составляет около 11 тысяч евро!

Пьяцца ди Спанья  Piazza di Spagna 

Адрес: ст.м. Spagna

Площадь Испании знаменита лестницей-восьмеркой, ведущей к церкви Троицы на Горе, и фонтаном «Лодочка» (Баркачча). Летом лестницу украшают азалиями и выпускают на ее ступени манекенщиц во время традиционных показов мод, а осенью и зимой она усиженна уставшими туристами.  Приходите на Пьяцца ди Спанья вечером, когда в тусклом свете фонарей она кажется гораздо новей и загадочней.

Река Тибр  и Castel Sant’Angelo — Кастель Сант-Анджело Замок Святого Ангела 

Lungotevere Raffaello Sanzio, 11, 00153 Rome

Lungotevere Castello, 50

Официальный сайт Castel Sant’Angelo
Кастель Сант-Анджело — был и гробницей, и замком, и резиденцией Римских Пап и хранилищем их ценностей и одновременно тюрьмой и, наконец, в наши дни является архитектурным памятником — музеем. 

Авентинский холм

ст.м. Circo Massimo, Via di Santa Sabina

Одно из самых романтичных местечек Рима — небольшой апельсиновый сад над Тибром по соседству с мужским монастырем, университетом. Апельсиновый сад — это не только зеленые деревья круглый год, но и замечательная обзорная площадка — одна из лучших в Риме. С нее открывается восхитительный вид на город — на площадь Сан-Пьетро в Ватикане, на Витториано, на мосты Тибра. Немногие знают об этом местечке, поэтому народу здесь не так много, как в популярных туристических местах.

Неподалеку от сада находятся ворота резиденции Мальтийского ордена, и если вы заглянете в их замочную скважину, то увидите оттуда сразу три государства: Мальтийский орден – государствоподобное образование, Италию и одно из главных сокровищ Рима — Ватикан (купол собора Св.Петра).

Город-государство Ватикан Stato della Città del Vaticano

   Думаю, Ватикан и главный собор католической церкви стоит оставить на «сладкое», чтоб после тяжелого дня оценить тишину под высокими сводами собора, безмолвие и красоту «Пьеты» Микеланджело.
    Помимо Собора Святого Петра, на территории Ватикана расположены знаменитые ватиканские музеи длиной – аж 9 километров в числе которых Сикстинская капелла и др., а также знаменитая Ватиканская библиотека.
Музеи Ватикана – это несколько экспозиционных залов, разбросанных по всему Риму, но самая главная сокровищница находится непосредственно за высокой стеной этого «государства в государстве». Огромные статуи фараонов и расписные кувшины древних этрусков, таинственные мумии и красивейшие фрески Микеланджело, Палаты Рафаэля и бюст Папы Римского с красным носом из-за усиленного трения туристами.
Чтобы миновать длинную очередь в музеи Ватикана, можно заказать билет на сайте Ватикана и распечатать электронное подтверждение. За бронь придется заплатить 4 евро сверху.

10 вещей, которые нужно сделать в Риме

После недавней поездки в Рим, у меня как-то сам по себе сложился список того, что обязательно нужно сделать в этом городе, дабы проникнуться его замечательной атмосферой. Знаю, что много есть таких списков, но мой, всё же, чем-то особенный.

1. Позавтракать под памятником Джордано Бруно клубникой или сицилийскими апельсинами, купленными тут же на рынке на площади Campo dei Fiori.
 

2. Пройти от начала до конца Via delle Muratte и удивиться фонтану Trevi, буквально «выпирающему» из крошечной площади.

3. Посетить поздним вечером Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Navona и фонтан Trevi, потому что в ночных огнях они не менее прекрасны? чем в свете дня.

4. Перейти Тибр и, попав в Trastevere, спрятать карту и заблудиться в коридорах уютных узких улиц, найти базилику Sanctae Mariae trans Tiberim и Генуэзский дворик.

5. Прогуляться по набережной Тибра, посетив остров Tiberina и оценить великолепный вид на San Pietro и Castel Sant’Angelo.

6. Выпить утренний кофе в типичном римском кафетерии с очаровательным бариста и колоритной синьорой за кассой в уголке.

7. Посетить кондитерскую Pompi и отведать там невероятно вкусных панини с креветками и пять видов тирамису.

8. Попытаться выяснить у коренного итальянца, не говорящего по-английски, как пройти куда-либо и удивиться, насколько безошибочно и легко вы поймете сказанное.

9. Выпить несколько бокалов Chianti в «счастливый» час в одной из многочисленных винотек в районе Campo dei Fiori или Trastevere.

10. Прокатиться на переднем сидении роскошной машины по ночному Риму, увидеть огни Колизея, Монумент Витторио Эммануэле и прекрасные улицы этого удивительного города.

90000 The Most Overrated Things in Rome (And What to Do Instead) 90001 90002 I took to Instagram stories to ask people about the most overrated things in Rome and I got some amazing answers. People were disappointed by places, restaurants, gelato, and experiences. 90003 90002 Hype can really ruin something. You are expecting life-changing, or at least something worth a trip around the world, and you get … ordinary. Or worse: you waste your time and money on something that actually sucks. 90003 90002 Make the most of your time here by skipping these overrated things in Rome — and consider the suggested alternatives.90003 [Note: These overrated places were suggested by others and I tallied them up. I have added my own comments about if I agree or if I have more information.] 90008 What NOT to do Rome: 90009 90008 Overrated Places in Rome: 90009 90012 90013 Trevi Fountain 90014 90013 Spanish Steps 90014 90013 Mouth of Truth 90014 90013 Keyhole 90014 90013 Vatican 90014 90023 90002 Over and over, I saw these same places pop up as totally overrated in Rome. 90003 90002 The Trevi Fountain made the list because it is so crazy crowded.If you are a morning person, try going right at sunrise. It is gorgeous and empty. 90003 90002 This would be a good trick for Rome’s keyhole as well. If you show up and the line is too long during the day, then I suggest going to the nearby Orange Garden instead. The view is still gorgeous. 90003 90002 At the end of the day, the Spanish Steps are just a very nice outdoor staircase. If you plan ahead, then book a visit to the nearby Giorgio de Chirico House Museum. You will get a great view of Piazza di Spagna and be able to see a beautiful art collection.90003 90002 The Vatican also has some unbelievable crowds. Try booking to visit on a Friday night when there are fewer people. 90003 90002 The Mouth of Truth is so overrated. Skip it. You can, however, grab a drink on the terrace of Hotel fortyseven which is a two-minute walk away and has one of the best rooftop bars in Rome. 90003 90002 90037 90037 90003 90008 Overrated Things to Do in Rome: 90009 90012 90013 Take a large group tour 90014 90013 Take a tour bus 90014 90013 Go inside the Colosseum 90014 90023 90002 Yes.Yes. Yes. Those massive groups with headphones following someone with a flag? Not worth it. If you really want to take a tour, then I suggest paying a bit more for a small group. 90003 90002 Several people thought that going into the Colosseum was overrated. I still think this is something that you should do once in your lifetime but that is probably all you need. The Colosseum line can be very long, so find a way to skip it and you will have more time and less stress once you get inside. 90003 90002 90055 90055 90003 90008 Overrated Restaurants / Food in Rome: 90009 90012 90013 Emma Pizzeria (I agree and removed it from my app) 90014 90013 Dar Poeta (Never been because it did not seem quite worth it) 90014 90013 Tonnarello in Trastevere (I have never been because it looks a bit tourist-y) 90014 90013 Osteria Fernanda (Sorry to hear because I WANT to go, but can not comment because I have not been) 90014 90013 La Romana Gelato (Agree) 90014 90013 Giolitti gelato (Yep) 90014 90013 Pompi (Uh huh) 90014 90013 Sant’Eustachio il Caffe 90014 90023 90002 90079 90079 90003 90002 Places to try instead, in corresponding order: 90003 90002 Is there anything else that you tried and then felt disappointed by? Or, instead, did you actually love some of these overrated places in Rome? Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder! 90003 90002 90087 90087 90003 .90000 Things to do in Rome: Our Rome Activity Guide 90001 90002 Rome, the capital city of Italy, is a cosmopolitan city packed with history, culture, and delicious food. 90003 90002 With nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture, and culture on display it’s no wonder that hordes of tourist’s flock to this city every year.

You can head out into the ancient tunnels of Rome’s catacombs, the place built to house the dead of Rome. This three hour tour includes transport by bus as well as viewing the exterior of the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella along with the ancient Roman aqueducts and walking along the old Appian Way.

The best time to visit is when the sun is shining so that you can see the whole interior illuminated with shafts of light. Though, it’s also fun to go when it rains as you can see the falling water ‘disappear’ into 22 tiny holes. 90003 90002 There is no admission charge for Pantheon, though there are guided tours that you can join to get a deeper experience. If you’re budget is lower, then opt for the audio guide.90003 90002 90003 90036 90073 90038 Vatican City Museums & Sistine Chapel 90039 90040 90041 90002 The Vatican City Museums are packed with history, culture, and art.

Artwork includes a large bronze baldachin designed by Bernini and The Pieta, a sculpture by Michelangelo and the statue of St Peter on his throne. 90003 90002 Visitors should not miss out on climbing to the top of the dome, which has beautiful views of St Peter’s Square. The entrance to the Basilica is free, though climbing to the top of the Dome has a fee.90003 90002 You can also go underground and explore the ancient Roman necropolis, where the remains of Saint Peter are buried.

Even a decade is not enough, to be totally honest. That said, there may be circumstances — a cruise, a multi-city tour of Italy, a layover — in which you really only have one day to spare in the city. Here we show you what to not to miss. 90003 90002 With this itinerary you will definitely see (among other things) the unmissable: 90003 90006 90007 90008 Spanish Steps 90009 90010 90007 90008 Trevi Fountain 90009 90010 90007 90008 Pantheon 90009 90010 90007 90008 St Peter’s Basilica 90009 90010 90023 90002 But you will need to choose between: 90003 90002 or 90003 90028 Morning 90029 90002 We recommend spending the first half of the day in one of the two major ticketed attractions (the Colosseum & Forum or the Vatican Museums).Both of these major sites take around 3-4 hours to visit reasonably thoroughly so you can only choose one. This leaves the other half of the day to explore the city’s historic quarter. 90003 90002 If you choose the Vatican, a particularly good ticket is the VIP early entry ticket that gets you in at 7.30am, way before the hordes arrive at 9. Unfortunately no such ticket exists for the Colosseum, but you can get a regular entry ticket for when it opens at 8.30. If you think you’ve left it too late to get a Colosseum ticket, do not despair: try buying a last-minute ticket.90003 90028 Lunch 90029 90002 Wherever you end up, check our neighborhood guide to find a good spot for lunch. We strongly recommend eating one of the classic Roman pastas with a delicious glass or two of the local vino (pecorino is highly recommended if on the menu). 90003 90028 Afternoon 90029 90002 The stroll that we recommend is our self-guided gentle introductory walk to the baroque city. This takes in many of the other famous sights in the city that can be accessed for free by just walking to them.90003 90028 Evening 90029 90002 Finish your walk by seeing the monument you did not go inside — both the Colosseum and the Vatican are rewarding places to visit from outside. 90003 90002 Then head off to Trastevere to enjoy a gorgeous evening stroll and another sumptuous Roman feast. 90003 90028 How to decide which monument to see 90029 90002 When choosing which ‘big’ site to see, ask yourself the question: «do I prefer art or archaeology?» 90003 90002 Based on the answer to that question, either book a ticket to the Vatican Museums (if you’re more interested in art as well as history), or the Colosseum and Forum (if you’re more interested in archaeology).You can book tickets to both online. When you book the former you need to choose a date and time to visit, but tickets the latter can be used at any time. 90003 90002 If you decide to go to the Vatican, you should also plan to visit St. Peter’s Basilica, which is a separate site but easily accessible. If you book a guided tour, the guide can take you straight into the basilica without you having to line up again, which saves time. In this case we also recommend that you take a 20-minute diversion out of the walk above to walk down the street that runs alongside the Forum (Via dei Fori Imperiali) so that you can also see into the Forum and view the Colosseum from the outside.90003 90002 If you opt to go into the Colosseum and Forum, we recommend spending a few euro extra for a ticket with an audio-guide. If you do this, then when you finish the self-guided walk, we recommend that you walk north-west from Piazza Navona for ten minutes to Ponte Sant’Angelo where you can see Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican. An extra 10 minutes ‘walk will take you to St Peter’s Square where you can at least say you’ve set foot inside the border of Vatican City. 90003 90028 Sample itinerary 90029 90002 So here’s an example itinerary for you if you’re visiting the Colosseum: 90003 90002 90008 8.00am 90009 Breakfast (caffè e cornetto of course) 90065 90008 8.30am 90009 enter the Colosseum 90008 90065 1.00pm 90009 exit and go for lunch. Maybe try a pasta dish at Trattoria Polese (Piazza Sforza Cesarini, 40) or a pizza at Emma (Monte della Farina, 28) 90008 90065 2.00pm 90009 leave the restaurant and walk up to the Pincio balcony to start the self-guided piazzas orientation walk 90065 90075 3.00pm 90076 break in the walk for a snack — maybe try a gelato at San Crispin al Pantheon (Piazza della Maddalena, 3) or a coffee at Sant’Eustachio il Caffè (Piazza di S.Eustachio, 82) 90065 90075 5.00pm 90076 finish the walk in Piazza Navona. Stroll up via dei Coronari (the «most beautiful street in the world» to the river and walk over the bridge to Castel Sant’Angelo and then St. Peter’s Square. 90065 90008 7.00pm 90009 Stroll down the riverside via Isola Tiberina to Trastevere, where you can enjoy great food and drinks at a huge number of good quality bars and restaurants.
