This summer I have managed to spend one whole month in Rome.
It's hot, it's very hot, and sometimes I regret being here, but most of the times, I love the fact that I can enjoy the city in this incredible light, and calm, and ride around with my bike and feel like the queen of a deserted city.
Here are the things I love to do:
Get a drink on the roof terrace of the of the Es Hotel or of the Hotel st George
Drive to the beach right after work and catch the sunset in Ostia
Sit in the park in the Colle Oppio and get a coffee at the little stall that is there, while watching dogs splash in the nearby fountain
Go hunting for open markets. The fruit in August is incredible, from the first figs to the perfectly ripe plums and peaches, the last watermelons ..and everything seems to be half price
Enjoy the quietness of the street, certain neighborhoods just simply empty out making excursions to see them a real treat.
Visit museums. Museums and sites ARE open all summer long, and they are free from crowds, so a visit to that place you have been planning to go for ages , but have always postponed because of crowds actually becomes possible in August. Look at Musei D'Estate
Take a bite of Summer!
