One of the most romantic matchdays a football fan can experience. Destination Calcio guides you through the streets of the Eternal City, where in the space of a single day you can journey from some of the world’s most ancient landmarks to a modern football cathedral: the Stadio Olimpico. 🏟️
You may have heard that new tourist fees have been introduced to help manage crowds at some of the city’s biggest attractions. It might add a little extra planning—and a small dent to the wallet—but it also means that when you arrive at icons such as the Trevi Fountain, you’ll have more space and time to truly take in their beauty. 🏛️
You can’t visit without stopping at @rosciolisalumeria for lunch. This incredible institution captures the very best of Italy, from unforgettable pasta dishes to some of the country’s finest cured meats, cheeses and wines. Booking ahead is recommended to avoid disappointment. 🍝
Finally, the Stadio Olimpico sits on the northern side of the city, a little removed from the historic centre, so we suggest arriving at least a couple of hours before kick-off. The surrounding streets quickly fill with colour, noise and anticipation—perfect for soaking up the atmosphere with a beer or a sandwich among the fans. Be in your seat at least 20 minutes before the game; these supporters deliver a spectacle long before the first whistle. 🐺
