Places to Drink

• Pim’s- near John Cabot University (JCU)
• G Bar- the ricks of Rome. They have wifi so it’s a great meeting place. Really cheap drinks. Near JCU.
• Almalu- next to G bar. Cheap drinks. They almost always have a special going on.
• Antilla- this also by G bar and right across from Almalu. It’s really small, but you can sit at a table and grap a drink with live music. They have food too.
• Sloppy Sams- in Campo de’ Fiori. An American bar. I personally love Sloppy Sams.
• Drunken Ship- in Campo de’ Fiori. An American bar.
• Scholars- An American bar. They have karaoke almost every night. They have wifi too, so you can meet up with people here.
• Lochness Pub- for more of a chill night to sit down and grab a drink.
• Ice Club- the entire bar is made of ice. 15 Euro gets you a drink and a jacket. Cool thing to do and to say you did; you’ll only last in the freezing temp for like 45 max.
• Club Vanity- a club you can dance at if you need a change of scenery from the bars.
• Club Mood- a club you can dance at if you need a change of scenery from the bars.

Places to go and Things to do

• Pantheon- it’s free to enter and it’s really cool.
• Vatican- It’s the Vatican and it’s really a short walk from JCU so it’s cool to casually walk there. Also, their postal service is much faster than Italy’s so if you want to be old fashioned and send your parents a postcard do it from there. If you tour the Vatican your knees and shoulders must be covered.
• St. Peter’s Basilica- Climb St. Peter’s dome for an incredible view of Vatican City. It will be interesting because it’s pretty narrow and if you’re really tall you might shave some off the top so let me know how that works out. To enter the basilica, you also need to have your shoulders and knees covered.
• Keyhole of Malta- on google map it’s called Buco di Roma. You can look through literally a keyhole in a door and see the Vatican. It’s really hard to photograph but totally worth seeing.
• Villa Pamphili- large park to run/work out in or just to read a book and relax. It’s massive, don’t get lost.
• Colessuem- it’s the Colessuem, need I say more?
• Roman Forum- next to the Colesseum so you can do those two together. Two birds, one stone.
• Victor Emmanuel- Altar of the Fatherland. You can take an elevator up to the top for like 7 Euro and see all of Roma.
• Trevi Fountain- it’s under construction but you can still see it and throw coins in. (might be done with renovations by now)
• Spanish Steps- a place to sit and people watch. Touristy so beware of that.
• Via del Corso- this is a street near Victor Emmanuel that has a ton of shops if you need clothes,gifts,etc
• Capuchin Crypt- 5 small chapels beneath a church decorated in teh skulls and bones of thousands of Capuchin monks. You will never see anything else like it. They have a strict dress code so if you go to this with a group, women must have their knees and shoulders covered just like you would if you tour the Vatican.
• Borghese Gardens- gardens you can take segway tours in and they have a gallery of art work. You’ll never see artwork like this in your life.
• Porta Portuense- Rome’s largest outdoor market on Via Portuense. It’s only on Sundays from 9-2pm. You can find just about anything here, from leather jackets to lightbulbs. I got some of my gifts for family members here.
• Bocca Della Verita (the mouth of truth) – Embrace your inner Audrey Hepburn, but I wouldn’t tell a lie.
• Giardino Degli Aranci – Get a whole new prospective of Rome and enjoy the smell of oranges. One of my favorite places in the city.
• Piazza Navona or Campo de Fiori and see the open markets.
• Lungo il Tevere – Summer long festival along the Tiber River.
