Uncover Hidden Gems: Top 10 Unique Things to Do in Rome, Italy

Top 10 Unique Things To Do In Rome:

I lived in Rome for four months and I am about to share all of my favorite and unique places to go in the eternal city! I found most of these places by exploring around the city or reading about them in books.

1) Visit the secret Keyhole of Malta (video of the experience linked here)

2) The Orange Gardens for sunset (near the Keyhole of Malta). This is the most beautiful spot in all of Rome, Italy to see the sunset. Sometimes, you will even hear someone playing living music here!

3) Babingtons Tea Room for tea and people-watching. This tea room is historic and overlooks the Spanish Steps, which makes for great people-watching and a wonderful view!

4) Trevi Fountain + gelato at Il Gelato di San Crispino (what could be better?!)

5) Dinner in Trastevere at Nannarella and gelato nearby at Otaleg (you must try the lasagna at Nannarella and the blood orange gelato if they have it at Otaleg).

6) Explore Villa Borghese for an afternoon (go here for a walk, take a picnic lunch, or explore around the various areas around the park)

7) Have a traditional aperitivo at Bar Meccanismo (a cocktail and appetizer board for under 12 euro total… amazing!)

8) Dinner at Ristorante al 34 (get the pumpkin gnocchi which is the best pasta I have had in Rome during my 4 months of living there!)

9) Have an authentic Roman dinner experience in a locals home (best thing I have done in Rome). This experience is like no other, and I can guarantee that you will have an amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious, the people were so friendly, and the host Deborah was the kindest person I met in Rome!

10) Try the famous Roman street food Suppli at Suppli Roma (you don’t want to miss this one! Suppli is a delicious snack that is a must try in Rome).

Overall, Rome is such an amazing place to go to and you can never get bored there! Even after living there for four months, I never ran out of new things to do.

Top 10 Must-Do Activities in Oahu, Hawaii: Your Ultimate Guide

Top 10 Things To Do In Oahu, Hawaii:

I have visited the island 4+ times and all of these recommendations are unique and amazing in their own ways. If you can do just a few things on this list, I can promise you will have a great time!

1. Spend a day at Lanikai beach and get a picnic lunch at Kalapawai Market which is within walking or biking distance from the beach

2. Visit the North Shore and go to the Dole Whip Plantation for a classic Dole Whip, get a bowl at the Sunrise Shack, try a slice of pie at Ted’s Bakery, and grab lunch or dinner at the pool/ocean side restaurant at Turtle Bay Resort

3. Do a Booze Cruise Catamaran Tour in Waikiki beach (there’s a lot of tour companies that do this and you can pick whatever works best for your schedule). Basically, this is unlimited drinks on a catamaran cruise— what an awesome concept!

4. Do the Crouching Lion Hike on the east side of the island (park across the street and cross the street to get to the trailhead.) Make sure you wear good hiking shoes and don’t go right after it rains or it will be very slippery!

5. Hike the Lanikai pillbox during sunrise (the views are incredible and it is a fairly easy hike to do when it isn’t super light outside). This is a must-do during your visit to Oahu, the views are incredible and it is a family-friendly hike for sure.

6. Spend a day at Makapuu Beach Park (soak up the incredible views and take a dip in the magnificent blue water if it’s not too rough).

7. Try warm Malasadas at Leonards Bakery they have multiple locations and always taste amazing!) This is one of the best foods to try in Oahu, and you must add it to your list when you go!

8. Hike Manoa falls to see a beautiful waterfall (it’s a super short and easy hike).

9. Go to the Kailua farmers market which is on Sundays and has wonderful food

10. Do the Likeke Falls hike which is moderate and features a beautiful waterfall at the end (did I mention it also lets you walk through ancient bamboo forests?!)

Overall, Oahu is a beautiful destination and there are so many incredible things to do while you are there!

Top 10 Things To Do In Sorrento, Italy

Why should you visit Sorrento, Italy?

Sorrento is one of the most beautiful towns in the world (in my opinion). It is located on the Amalfi Coast and I personally think it is the best place to stay when basing yourself on the coast. It has everything: beautiful overlooks, shopping, amazing food, and the list goes on and on.

Top 10 Things To Do In Sorrento, Italy:

1) Do a kayak tour with Kayak Sorrento (it goes out of marina grande and was my absolute favorite part of my entire abroad trip). If you do this, make sure to say hi to Umberto (the kayak guide) for me!

2) Have lunch at Hotel Bellevue Syrene and enjoy the breathtaking views it offers. The pasta was delicious and I felt like I was in a dream looking at that view.

3) Check out the Grand Hotel Ambascatori (or even stay there if you can!) It is the most gorgeous hotel and has an amazing overlook of the water

4) Have dinner at sunset at the Bagno Delfina restaurant (you must get the lemon cake dessert there!) Make sure you also come here for a sunset dinner, the sunset here is incredible!

5)  Go to Enjoy the little things bistrot for lunch and get a strawberry spritz (SO big and such a good value for the price). This is such a cute place and had great food!

6) Shop around the shops and make sure to go to New Style Sorrento jewelry shop which has some of the most beautiful handmade jewelry and is owned by the sweetest older couple

7) Enjoy all of the beautiful overlooks of the water throughout the town

8) Take a day trip to Capri (the island off of the Amalfi Coast). Pro tip- ride the lift up to the top of the island!

9) Try lemon gelato anywhere!! It is so delicious and tastes delicious on a hot day

10) Take a day to relax down at the beach or at your hotel pool

Overall, I really hope you are able to enjoy all of these great things to do in Sorrento, Italy! It really is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
