1. Join Tours and Social Activities
Rome is a city full of history, art, and culture. Join organized tours to discover iconic sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Vatican City.
2. Use Social Platforms and Traveler Apps
Beyond spontaneous hostel encounters, many online platforms allow solo travelers to connect easily. Apps like Couchsurfing or Meetup help you meet other travelers or locals.
Join social events, group outings, or simply find people who share your interests. Rome offers a wide range of cultural, musical, and food-related events, providing the perfect opportunity to meet people.
3. Stroll Through the Most Charming Neighborhoods
Rome is a city best explored on foot.
Walking through historic neighborhoods like Trastevere, Monti, and Testaccio, you’ll not only discover monuments and piazzas but also charming cafés, small shops, and hidden corners where it’s easy to chat with other travelers or locals.
Every street has a story to tell and a new opportunity to meet someone who shares your passion for travel and discovery.
4. Learn the Local Language
While Italian isn’t necessary to get around in Rome, learning a few words and phrases can help break the ice and build more genuine connections.
Italians are known for their hospitality and will be happy to see you making an effort to speak their language. A simple “Ciao, come va?” (Hello, how’s it going?) or “Posso aiutarti?” (Can I help you?) can be the first step towards an interesting conversation with a local or fellow tourist.
5. Be Open and Flexible
Solo travel is a unique experience that allows you to discover yourself and the world around you.
Stay open to new experiences, embrace the unpredictability of travel, and be ready to make new friends anywhere. Rome will surprise you—from casual chats with travelers in parks to unexpected encounters in piazzas, where everyone stops to enjoy gelato or a coffee.
Don’t be afraid to approach others—often the best relationships are born in the most unexpected moments.
