Warning: This article contains spoilers for "Emily in Paris" season four.
The latest drop of "Emily in Paris" episodes transports viewers to the Italian capital, Rome.
Five new episodes of the hit show premiered on Netflix on September 12, with the final two set almost entirely in Rome as the show's main protagonist, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), visits her new love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) on his home turf.
However, as audiences see in the season finale, Emily's trip becomes more permanent as Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) appoints her head of Agence Grateau's new Rome office.
While audiences will have to wait for a potential fifth season to see whether our favorite American expat is leaving Paris forever, Business Insider has taken a closer look at some of the most popular spots Emily visits during her stay in Rome.

On season four of Netflix's "Emily in Paris," the titular character flies to Rome for a date. But to throw her boss off her trail while requesting time off, she tells the office she's actually going to Kraków.
There’s something about sleeping on a boat. It’s the rocking, of course, and the sound of the water. It’s also the cocoon effect of containment in a small space tucked away from the world. I’m not talking about cruise ships and luxury yachts here. I’m talking about a vessel that gently rocks, just enough to let a person know she’s not on dry land. If you suffer from seasickness, this could be an issue. As for me, I never sleep better than I do on a boat.
It appears full enforcement of new REAL ID card registration is experiencing another delay.
"Emily in Paris" fans who binged the last episodes of season four and are already missing the messy love triangles and wild outfits on their screens can rejoice.
After visiting some of Italy's hot spots, like Rome, Venice, and Florence, I wanted to check out a lesser-visited city that a friend had recommended: Perugia.
Paris is the city par excellence, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore some different landscapes on your next trip, too. Ever since the northern coast of France was developed in the 19th century, Parisians have taken to escaping for short breaks beside the sea. The stretch of coastline that takes in Normandy, the Baie de Somme, and Pas-de-Calais is packed with charm and offers something for different kinds of travelers, from keen foodies to intrepid walkers.
Plan an escape to Europe or beyond starting at less than $500 thanks to this KLM Royal Dutch Airlines fall and winter sale.
Amid reports of increasing demand for travel for the upcoming festive season, Skift reached out to travel services companies to understand the trends in festive season travel.
Good morning from Skift. It’s Wednesday, September 11. and here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today.
For those who have visited Rome’s immensely popular Trevi Fountain, here’s a bit of news that may seen long overdue.Leaders in Rome are contemplating limiting access to the historic fountain, which is not only a baroque masterpiece, but also a magnet for hordes of rank and file travelers, Instagram influencers, TikTokers, and more.The plans being considered would involve visitors making a reservation in advance to visit the fountain, according to a report in The Guardian.“Personally I would be in favour of looking at a new form of access, limited and timed, to the Trevi fountain,” Alessandro Onorato, the city councillor responsible for tourism, told the newspaper Corriere della Sera, per The Guardian.Residents of course, would still be allowed to visit the fountain and do so for free. But everyone else would be required to make a contribution of one to two euros in exchange for the ability to spend time taking in the masterpiece.The goal of the entrance fee is not to raise money, but to use the new system as a mechanism to control the crush of people that surround the fountain from sunup until sundown, and long into the evening. The new system would also (hopefully) bring an end to such disrespectful behaviors as snacking on pizza and gelato while perched on the fountain.The paid reservation system is merely one of the options the city is considering to protect the historic site.Rome’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, said measures to curb tourist numbers were “a very concrete possibility,” adding that a handful of possible solutions are under review.“We’ve decided to study and investigate this because the situation is becoming technically very difficult to manage,” he said. “Local police officers tell us this all the time: there is a concentration of people that makes adequate protection of the monument difficult and is also often a source of degradation.”The discussion surrounding how best to protect the fountain is especially pressing as the city prepares to host the 2025 jubilee, which is a year-long Roman Catholic event that is expected to bring more than 30 million tourists and pilgrims to Rome.But this latest move, which is among a growing number of efforts to curb overtourism around the world, is also prompted by a history of tourists behaving poorly at the fountain.In 2017, for instance, the city rolled out fines for bad behavior at the site after tourists began frolicking in the fountain water. And in 2018, an eight-person fight broke out over, of all things, the perfect selfie spot.
Rome is looking to clamp down on overcrowding and tourist misbehavior at the Trevi Fountain, one of the world’s most iconic and popular attractions, with a reservation system.
