Live La Dolce Vita the way the locals do in the Eternal City.

As Italy’s capital and Giada’s birthplace, Rome has a special place in our hearts here at Giadzy. With thousands of years of history to explore alongside exquisite art and trendsetting boutiques, Rome has been a gathering place for visitors from around the globe for millennia. But with so much to do, we often find ourselves rushing to see it all! Between standing in long lines and hurrying to get from one tourist attraction to the next, it can be easy to miss Rome’s unique charm, even when it’s right in front of you.

As we focus on slowing down and traveling wisely this month, it’s time to rethink the way we experience Italy’s capital and take a page from the locals. The next time you find yourself in the Eternal City, take it slow! Here are our recommendations for how to experience la dolce vita and do Rome as the Romans do.
