Italy

Day 1 — Arrival in Rome

We landed in Rome and made our way straight to Chapter Roma, a stylish boutique hotel with beautifully designed rooms just a short stroll from the Colosseum. After settling in, we wandered through the artsty Monti district, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. For lunch, we couldn’t resist a Roman classic - a traditional pasta carbonara. In the evening, we switched things up with dinner at Zuma, where Japanese cuisine meets contemporary elegance high above the rooftops of Rome.
