Welcome to Rome, Italy! 🇮🇹 A city that feels like one giant bucket list. From ancient ruins and hidden history to iconic landmarks, incredible food, and world-famous sights, there’s literally something to see around every corner. The problem? We only had 48 hours. And while Rome has no shortage of amazing things to experience, it also has no shortage of overcrowded streets, a less-than-adequate public transportation system, and a healthy disregard for efficiency, punctuality, and general organization. So, experiencing Rome in just two days might be a bit more challenging than we expected, but that didn't stop us from trying! Whether you're planning your own trip to Italy or simply dreaming about visiting someday, we hope this video gives you a real feel for what it's like to experience Rome for the very first time when you only have 48 hours.
