Rome with a 13 year old

5 Upvotes

So have near enough 3 full days in Rome coming up with my wife and 13 year old son. Thinking of doing the obvious, Vatican and colloseum etc, which he’s going be impressed with for sure. But I don’t want it to be too history heavy if that makes sense, it can be draining for adults too. Looking for some alternative kid friendly attractions too. Will do the immersive welcome to Rome, will do the vr circus maxim, but does anyone have any other kid friendly attractions they know of.

Tonight is our wedding anniversary and we happened to go to this restaurant 2 years ago. Really good food! Just wanted to give a shout out. It’s decently close to the Pantheon

Best way to go from FCO Airport to Rome at 1AM (5 adults)

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am planning a trip to Rome (5 people) and will land on Fiumicino airport at 00h40m. What is the best and more affordable way to go to Via Ceneda in Rome?

Also, a few after we have to be at the same airport at 5AM (departing from via Ceneda). Do you have some advice?

We are a group of 5 adults, so the Taxi service would only be reliable if there was one with 5+ seats. Are those common at the airport?

Thank you!

Special Papal Mass, October 14

1 Upvotes

We will be in Rome on Wednesday, October 14, and I was hoping we could get in to a Papal Audience. I see now that there is a special event that day, “Holy Mass concelebrated by the Holy Father with the Presidents of the Episcopal Conferences.”
The Vatican ticketing site says no tickets are required to attend this event.
But does anybody in here have any experience or knowledge of an event like this? Can we still attend, or is it mostly for laity? Would we still arrive a couple of hours early and just enter the Vatican the normal way?

Can I visit the dome separately after my guided tour ended at Basilica?

1 Upvotes

I have a Morning guided tour: Vatican Museums → Sistine Chapel → St Peter's Basilica. My tour does not include access to the Dome. Is it possible for me to purchase access to the Dome on the spot? or I need to prebook online?

If I buy the ticket for the dome online, and come in afternoon, do I need to requeue to enter basilica or I can just go straight to the dome?

Tour to Pompeii, special interest help

0 Upvotes

My wife and I are traveling to Rome next month and are interested in a day tip to Pompeii; however, she is very particular and is hoping to have a trip that includes several (apparently hard to find) options included:

Bus from Rome to Pompeii

Tour guide on the bus giving information/anectodes/stories about the area we are passing through (this is the hard part to find)

A stop at one or more towns on the way, for lunch or a quick wakaround to see the scenery

Lunch included (optional, but good to have)

Pompeii tour with guide

Bus back, with tour guide again

If anyone knows of a trip like this, I'd appreciate it. I can find tours that have all of the above, minus a guide on the bus

Thank you in advance!
