In this first of two special episodes on Rome, Italy, hosts David Brodie & Tim Johnson explore the Eternal City as it stands in 2025—where timeless beauty meets the buzz of modern travel. From the Colosseum to the Vatican, and from hilltop gardens to hidden sovereign territories, this episode offers an insightful and entertaining look at how to make the most of your time in Rome, especially if you're visiting during peak season.

Is Rome Worth Visiting in High Season?
- Why the crowds and heat are worth it—and how to stay cool with tips like filling up at the city’s free nasoni fountains.
Iconic Rome
- Colosseum: Why booking ahead and joining a guided tour transforms your experience
- Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps: Expect crowds, but don’t skip them—coin tosses and city views await
- Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel: Must-see masterpieces—book timed tickets in advance
- St. Peter’s Basilica: No ticket required, but take time to explore quieter corners for moments of peace
- Keykeeper Tour Tip: Be the first inside the Vatican by joining a private early-morning opening tour
Off-the-Beaten-Path Highlights
- Access Italy’s Golf Cart Tour: A customizable and stylish way to explore the city’s hidden gems
- Giancarlos Beneditti Corcus: A local artist painting in the laneways near Piazza Navona
- Villa Borghese Gardens: Shady paths, scenic views, and quiet cafés—perfect for escaping the crowds
- Knights of St. John (Sovereign Military Order of Malta): A quirky micro-nation in Rome with its own flag, passports, and even UN observer status
How Many Countries Can You Visit in a Day?
- Rome lets you check off three countries in a single day—Italy, Vatican City, and (unofficially) the Sovereign Military Order of Malta
