Summer in Rome

The Art of “riposo”: Taking advantage of the hottest hours in the day in Rome

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.

The most beautiful medieval cloisters in Rome as recommended by rental agency From Home to Rome
