A Rome city break with friends is rarely a one-plan affair. One person wants to see the Colosseum from below, another mostly wants pasta, wine and a terrace in Trastevere, and there's always one who's desperate to hop on a Vespa. Luckily, it can all fit into a long weekend away if you choose wisely.
Below you'll find group activities that work really well: cooking together, tasting, paddling or simply being driven around. Can't agree among yourselves? With Flip 2 Trip, a free web app, the organiser creates a trip and everyone swipes on their own phone. You get the top 3 and a day plan back.
Frequently asked questions
What can you do in Rome with friends?
Think making pasta together, a street food tour through Trastevere, rafting on the Tiber, a gladiator lesson or a ride in a Fiat 500. For the evening, there's a pub crawl, a Segway tour and a cabaret show, among other things.
How many days do you need for a Rome city break with friends?
A long weekend of three or four days is perfect. You'll fit in the big highlights, one or two workshops and a few evenings out, without your group having to race through the programme.
What's fun in Rome for a group that doesn't all want the same thing?
Go for a mix: food and drink, something active and an evening activity. Let the group swipe anonymously on these in Flip 2 Trip, and you'll see straight away what scores with everyone.
How does Flip 2 Trip work for a group trip?
The organiser creates a trip for free and shares it with the group. Everyone swipes through the activities on their own phone, and then the organiser gets the top 3 and a day plan.
