What’s the latest news in Rome?
- Rome has made another push to promote ride-sharing, as well as the use of foot scooters and electric bikes around the city. According to Roma Mobilita, the usage of the scooter-sharing service has quadrupled since 2022.
- The Domus Tiberiana is open to the public 50 years since it was initially closed. Although neglected back in the 1970s, it underwent restoration and reopened back in September 2023.
- The local government of Rome is looking into the issue of inflated ticket prices for the Colosseum which tourists and locals have decried as unjust and prohibitive. As part of the measures, Wanted in Rome reports that a new ticket office has opened at Largo della Salara / Via dei Fori Imperiali, along with the sale of tickets featuring the names of buyers online on the colosseo.it website.

Tip from Content Creator
This property is about a 20-minute drive from the Vatican Museums. The place is so surreal and so beautiful! I have always been attracted to architecture and buildings that are special and I was amazed to see how much dedication and hard work was put into this place.
The museum is full of walls, ceilings, and floors of art. In fact, the whole building is art. It’s incredible! It holds thousands of years worth of history, statues, and paintings known around the world. With that being said, if you value your time and want to have the opportunity to fully appreciate and immerse yourself in what this museum offers, you should go before it opens to the public. This is a must-see in Rome so plan accordingly. You can also purchase “skip the line” tickets which was the smartest thing we did all day!
