désolé au point de vue population active dans l' industrie le latium est en ligne avec les autres régions capitales ( londres ou ile de france, j'irai voir pour bruxelles capitale ) et le secteur commerce qui comprend l'hotellerie et la restauration c'est 15% de la population active ; comme dans toute capitale, l'activité essentielle c'est l'administration et les services publics, les services aux habitants et aux entreprises, les sièges sociaux, les professions libérales .
soit on cherche à retrouver la cuisine italienne basique des restos parisiens en suivant les conseils du guide du routard en allant dans les restos pour touristes manger des pizza et des pates en guise de plat de résistance, soit on va dans les bons restos où vont les romains, c'est plus cher, les pates sont bonnes et ne sont qu'une entrée, et ça permet de découvrir la gastronomie romaine, surtout célèbre en italie par ses recettes de viandes (notamment d'agneau)et d'abats
Oui, d'accord, mais cher. En matière de pizzas, je m'attendais à trouver les mêmes qu'à Milan ou Lugano (Suisse italienne) avec un autre gout. Non là ça ne valait guère mieux qu'à Paris.
pour storck
normal, si la pizza est d'origine italinne, l'italie est le pays industrialisé où on en mange le moins, 2 fois moins qu'en france par exemple
pour notre ami belge population active dans l'industrie : région bruxelles-capitale 12% ; province de rome 15%

En allant visiter Rome pendant les vacances, j’ai découvert un fantastique spa, que je vous conseille vivement: le Spa Alta Care Laboratoires. Ce spa offre une vue imprenable sur la Piazza di Spagna qui est l’une des places les plus célèbres de Rome du fait de ses monuments et bien sur de ses boutiques de luxe.
Ayant l’habitude de me faire « chouchouter » 🙂 je dois dire que ce spa dépasse tous ceux que j’ai fait auparavant. Les produits utilisés sont ceux de leur gamme Dermastir, produits de très grande qualité. Les soins et traitements appliqués par des thérapeutes chaleureuses et appliquées sont aussi de très bonne qualité ; pour chaque personne, chaque traitement est différent en fonction du type de peau et ses besoins.
Le plus de ce spa est qu’il est possible d’y venir à 2, idéal pour un moment romantique et relaxant avec son (sa) cher et tendre. 😉😉
Grâce a son carde luxueux, relaxant avec de la musique et une ambiance tamisée à souhait, le spa offre aux clients une intimité et un moment unique. 😉🙂
Ce n'est pas de la pub 🙂 par contre ils ont un site internet c'est www.altacare.com, l'adresse est Piazza di Spagna, 6 00187 Rome Italie et le numéro +39 0669380852
Il y a surement pas mal de délinquance aussi à Bruxelles, mais le must c'est Charleroi, quoique bien moins touristique mais de toutes les capitales que j'ai visité, c'est à Rome que je me suis senti le moins en sécurité dans les transports en commun, je conseille de prendre juste du liquide pour la journée et peut etre sa carte bancaire bien dans le fond de la poche.Pour les papiers, faire des photocopies et laisser les originaux à l'hotel, il y a moins de risque de se faire contoler par la police que de se faire pick poquer, cà vaut pour tous les endroits à risque.
salut,
Rome c'est vraiment une ville extraordinaire, mes coups de coeur:
le musée du vatican, l'église saint Ignace, la Basilique Saint-Jean hors les murs, Tivoli (la villa d'Hadrien et la villa d'Este). Et aussi les thermes de Caracalla, et le Colisé.
Est-ce qu'il y en a parmi vous qui avez utilisé des cartes pour les transports publics ou encore pour les musées et sites archéologiques? Avez-vous des suggestions à faire ou encore appréciations à formuler?

Je viens de télécharger pour mon iphone les cartes numériques de Rome ; je vous tiendrais au courant puisque je pars demain ;
Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà utilisé des audio guide vendus sur le web ?
C'est un petit logiciel trop sympa qui pour quelques euros signalent les points intéressants autour de toi et donne une description des lieu et de leur histoire avec photos et itinéraire à la clé ; certains ont même des fonctions de traducteurs ils lisent la phrase affichée en français et en italien ; voir
salut,
Tu as l air de bien connaitre Rome, peux tu me conseiller quelques restos et hotels au centre .. je dois m y rendre avec mon copain le 11 juin pour 4 jours .. merci d avance
Bonjour Kesh,
Tu ne le sais pas, mais grâce à ton post et ton allusion au café de la via Giulia, tu as illuminé notre séjour à Rome. En gros à chaque fois qu'on avait besoin de calme, volupté et douceur : on allait s'y réfugier (avant de replonger dans la foule). Pas une seule fois nous n'avons été déçus : un havre de paix (ça reste entre nous !!!)
Tu en seras éternellement remercié : E T E R N E L L E M E N T
mais de rien ce café valait vraiment le coup d'etre partagé, c'est toujours les petit truc qui font les grands voyages, j'espère que le services y est toujours aussi bon !
le tourisme est une activité bien plus marginale à rome qu'à aix en provence
à rome, le secteur commerce, .... contre en moyenne 60.000 touristes, en majorité italiens ;
Salut tout le monde, bonjour Giorgio13
Avec 19, 5 millions de touristes annuels (source : rapport sur Rome et l'évolution de la ville 2001/2005) , ROME est bien loin des 60 000 cités par Girgio13 ! En fait, journellement on peut compter 200 000 touristes et jusqu'à 800 000 comme en mai avec la Pentecote et/ou la coupe de Foot entre ? et Lisbonne, qui quasi tous vont au restaurant une fois par jour ; ce qui n'est pas le cas des 2, 7 millions de romains qui se répartissent sur une très grande distance ; enfin il est clair que la fréquentation touristique se résume à quelques quartiers sur lesquels on en retrouve la quasi totalité.
GAS,
amoureux de Rome et un peu arnaqué le 22 mai 2009 PLACE NAVONE, au CAFE BERNINI avec un total de 130 euros (crudites steak frites et tiramisu pour 2 plus un bon vin (Nobile Mont. Talosa)) conformes à la carte PLUS un coperto - cover charge de 19 euros (???) et qui a du faire modifier le chiffre écrit sur le terminal bancaire qui était de 169 euros et non 149 euros. Ceci s'est reproduit dans trois autres endroits.
PS : mon directeur de thèse disait que les statistiques sont comme les bikinis, ils ... (la suite réservée à ceux que cela intéresse ;-))
PS 2 : attention beaucoup de musée sont fermés le Lundi et notamment le Musée Massimo (qu'on avait réservé pour le faire juste la veille de notre départ le ... mardi. Et la villa Borghese réclame une réservation PREALABLE impossible à faire sur place !
Hello,
We’ve booked our flights to Tromsø from January 9th to 16th, 2027.
Now it’s time to plan our stay, and I’ll admit I’m feeling a bit unsure...
We definitely intend to rent a car, but what route should we take?
Should we book accommodation for the entire stay (7 nights) in Tromsø and do day trips (Sommarøy, Kvaløya, Lyngen, a day in Tromsø, a boat excursion, and then... what else?)? Or spend 3–4 days in Tromsø and hit the road for another 3–4 days somewhere else—but where?
I’d also considered splitting it: 3 days in Tromsø and 3 days in Målselv, so we could explore a different region by car and maybe try some downhill or cross-country skiing.
Is this area interesting beyond skiing?
During a recent trip to Lapland, we already tried dog sledding and snowmobiling, so we’re not planning to repeat those activities. Instead, we’d love to discover the landscapes and Sami culture.
I’d love to hear about your experiences or suggestions to help us plan our trip.
Thanks,
We're heading to Genoa and the Cinque Terre in mid-October for a full week. We're planning to spend two and a half days—three nights—in the Cinque Terre. The idea is to hike between the villages and use the train (or boat) for the trip out (or back). We're thinking of staying overnight, and I was wondering which village to prioritize.
From January 1st to 4th, I’m heading to Barcelona for the first time. Beyond the tourist sites—which are going to cost me an arm and a leg!!—I’d love to spend a day off the beaten path and see some less touristy spots.
What do you recommend? I’ll be getting around on foot, by metro, or possibly by train if it’s not too far. I love both nature and cultural spots.
And one last thing—is Barcelona at night safe for a woman alone, or is it sketchy?
We’re traveling next summer with our three kids, ages 9 to 15. We’ll arrive in Cork by ferry with our car. We’d like to stay several nights at each stop to settle in, take our time, and stay flexible depending on the weather!
What do you think of this 18-day itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrival around 9:30 AM, drive to Kinsale to visit the village and Charles Fort, then accommodation
- Day 2: Blarney Castle + Cork, then accommodation
- Day 3: Travel to Kenmare (stopping at Gougane Barra?)
- Day 4: Glengariff and surrounding area
- Day 5: Healy Pass + southern Beara
- Day 6: Gap of Dunloe + Kenmare and Reenagross Park
- Day 7: Dursey Island
- Day 8: Killarney National Park
- Day 9: Travel to Clare (stopping at Bunratty)
- Day 10: Kilkee + Loop Head
- Day 11: The Burren
- Day 12: Aran Islands
- Day 13: Travel day to Connemara (stopping at Roundstone and Dog’s Bay or via Galway?)
- Day 14: Clifden + Sky Road + beach
- Day 15: Diamond Hill
- Day 16: Kylemore Abbey + Killary Fjord
- Day 17: Drive back to Cork (stopping at Cahir)
- Day 18: Departure
Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.
Hi,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
