Where to pee in Rome Termini? McDonald's :)
Rome is one of our favorite cities in the world. It has so much history and "present" that it will be a fantastic destination for work and leisure in the rest of the 2020s. Rome is clean and feels safe in 2025. Its weather in January is mild and pleasant, in the 50s without practically any wind or rain.
If you find yourself in Rome's main train station, Roma Termini, note that using the restroom will cost you 1.20 euros. For Americans, it is hard to get used to the idea of paying for using the restroom. The 1.20 euro fee feels steep. It can add up quickly if you are with a group or family. Recommendation, go to the McDonald's across from the station (not the one inside), buy a snack, and get a code to use the restroom. You can buy a plain hamburger or a small chicken sandwich for 1.80 euros and use the restrooms.
Anyway, here's our list of "must-see" attractions in Rome:
1. Colosseum. Only remaining Ancient Wonder of the World.
2. Palatine Hill. Founding site of Rome with views of the Forum and Circus Maximus.
3. Piazza Venezia. Impressive building and nice panoramic views.
4. Trevi Fountain. Cute tourist trap.
5. Pantheon. An ancient temple dedicated to all gods, with its iconic dome and oculus.
6. Vatican City and Museum. Admire Michelangelo’s Pietà, climb the dome for panoramic views, and explore the crypts below. Sistine Chapel (Vatican Museums), see Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes, including The Creation of Adam, and Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper.
7. Trastevere. Charming neighborhood for a weekend stroll, enjoying traditional Roman cuisine.
