The best view of every major monument in Rome isn’

The best view of every major monument in Rome isn’t from the street — it’s from a rooftop bar. 🥂😉

Trevi Fountain from above (no elbowing required) ✔️ Colosseum views from a Michelin starred restaurant ✔️ 360 degree views of the Vatican from inside Castel Sant’Angelo ✔️ The Spanish Steps at sunset with live music ✔️

Rome has a rooftop bar with a view of basically every landmark worth seeing, and most people walk right past them. I spent way too many trips to Rome figuring this out so you don’t have to.

Comment “ROME” and I’ll send you details on all 10 bars with a map— save this one for your Rome trip. 🍷

Budapest ruined me. I’ve visited dozens of cities

Budapest ruined me.

I’ve visited dozens of cities across Europe and nothing quite compares — Budapest is chic, lively, and electric in a way that genuinely caught me off guard, and just genuinely cooler than any other city I’ve visited.

The thermal baths, the ruin bars, the most beautiful cafe in the world — it delivers on every front. And then there’s the Parliament building.

I never once got sick of looking at it. I saw it from Fisherman’s Bastion, from a rooftop restaurant, from Tram 2 along the river — but nothing compares to seeing it lit up from the water at night on a Danube river cruise. Just an hour long, one free drink in hand, and it might honestly be the best hour you spend in the entire city.
Budapest at night is in a league of its own.

not into the insane Trevi Fountain crowds? same, here’s the best Rome hack for visiting Trevi⬇️

The piazza around Trevi is tiny and always absolutely chaotic — which means the best view of it is definitely not from it. Two rooftops that fix this:

🍷Roof Garden at Hotel Relais Fontana Di Trevi — open to the public, open-air, partially obstructed views but the vibe is unmatched. Only a few tables face the fountain but they rotate people up if you’re patient. Worth every second of the wait. I also loved staying at this hotel

🥂Hotel Fontana — fully unobstructed views (glass walls make photos tricky though), €20/person includes one drink. Pricier, but zero elbows in your face.

My pick is Relais every time even though the views are not as straight on — but honestly both beat standing down in that chaos.
