Meet like-minded people in Rome
On your own in Rome? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Rome is an open-air museum, where solo travellers can explore the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican and endless piazzas. The vibe is warm and social, especially at aperitivo time and in the evenings. Travellers gather in Trastevere, Monti and around Campo de' Fiori.
Meeting people in Rome: what works
- Stay near Termini, Monti or Trastevere for hostels and easy access to the main sights.
- Join a free walking tour of the historic centre or a food tour in Trastevere to meet other travellers.
- Visit the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum early and book tickets in advance to avoid long queues.
- Join locals for aperitivo in Trastevere or Monti in the early evening.
Stay safe
Watch for pickpockets around Termini station, on bus 64 and at major sights, and politely refuse people who offer bracelets or roses.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
