Rome Welcomes Europe Travel Wire: Your First Dispatch

Europe Travel Wire is now covering Rome, Italy.

This dispatch marks the start of ongoing coverage from the city — attraction openings and closures, ticketing and access changes, festivals worth planning a trip around, and the practical transport and local-life news that visitors and residents actually need.

Updates from the Colosseum, Vatican and ancient sites.

What to expect

Our contributors on the ground in Rome will be filing regular updates as things change — a new exhibition, a museum's revised opening hours, a festival date, or a shift in how you book tickets to the city's best-known sites.
