When I was planning a family trip to Rome, I knew I wanted to experience the city like a local by zipping around on a Vespa.
However, once I saw the congested city's chaotic traffic firsthand, I also knew I didn't want to take my children's lives into my own hands by driving one myself.
Instead, I looked for a Vespa tour where someone else did the driving and easily found one led by locals. It cost 125 euros a person, which came to about $400 total for the three of us with the exchange rate.
Even though it wasn't a typical city tour that involved long stops at notable sites, our Vespa tour wound up being a highlight of my visit to the Eternal City.

The grandeur and might of ancient Rome was on full display in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, a historical epic that starred Russell Crowe as ferocious gladiator Maximus. Returning to that world for Gladiator II, about Maximus’ son Lucius (Paul Mescal), not only meant reconstructing the city, but going even bigger. “It’s a total continuation,” explains production designer Arthur Max, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the first film, “It’s about 15 years later, after the death of Maximus, so essentially nothing would have changed in the Colosseum. We wanted it to be familiar for the people who loved Gladiator and identified with it. But we also wanted to boost the scale.”

For travelers without TSA PreCheck, wearing shoes that easily slide on and off makes navigating airport security checkpoints a tad more efficient. Let’s face it, we’ve all been the passenger with mere minutes to make it to the gate on time, and some footwear just isn’t meant for beating the clock (hiking boots, strappy sandals, most lace-ups). Beyond efficiency, those who have their hands full—traveling with kids comes to mind—or who face mobility challenges may also appreciate this type of travel-friendly shoe.
