Roma, turismo, web 2.0…

BIKE SHARING ROME

Bike sharing. Rome is now offering an ecological, entertaining and comfortable alternative to the ubiquitous car: bikes for rent at different venues in town.

To use one of the 200 bikes available you have to register at one of the tourist information kiosks (or PIT - Punti di Informazione Turistica) dotted around town, compile a simple form and leave a deposit. In return you’ll be given a magnetic swipe card (that can be topped up according to need) and a padlock - all you need to pedal around the city centre in total freedom!

Simply drop off the bike at one of the 271 bike stations when you’ve completed your journey.
The first half-hour rental is free of charge!

The best Ice Cream in Rome

the warm weather has arrived and is inevitable to mention the best Ice Cream in Rome.

This is the list of the best ‘Gelateria’ in Rome (in touristical areas)

Il Gelato di San Crispino (Via della Panetteria 42 - Trevi / Via Achaia 56 Appio Latino)
For a lot of people it is the best Ice cream in Rome! With two locations one in two steps from the Trevi Fountain, the other in Zone Appio Latino. Ice Cream 100% natural… tastes meringue!

Giolitti (Via Uffici del vicario , 40 - Navona)
A guarantee! Affollato of tourists and Italians it is an ice cream always on top.

Bartocci (Via Alessandria 145 - Porta Pia)
Close to Porta Pia… Viale Regina Margherita … and closte to my house! It is one of my favorite ice cream.
It isn’t in famous list…. because it is an ice cream from simple people … where you will find a lot tastes (try…bartoccioso
when me and my girlfriend go to take an ice cream … I take it from Bartocci …
and she take it at Gelateria dei Gracchi (the seat of Viale Regina Margherita!), just 100 mt distance.

Gelateria dei Gracchi (Via dei Gracchi 272 - St. Peter / Viale Regina Margherita, 212 Porta Pia)
Excellent, 100% natural. One of the best pistachios in Rome. Can an Ice Cream be snob?

La fonte della salute (Via Cardinal Marmaggi, 2 - Viale Trastevere)
One of the best address in the Trastevere area.

La Fata Morgana (Via Ostiense, 32 - Piramide)
One of the most award-winning ice-cream in Rome …. don’t expects to find the usual tastes .. not find them! 

Old Bridge (Graben Michelangelo 5 - San Pietro)
Close to P.za Risorgimento (San Pietro). The line is very long and sometimes more than 10 meters (all on the road).
The ice cream is among the largest of Rome …. but is not particularly good …  I do not like!

Two very famous address out of center:

Lanzalotto - Viale Somalia (front of Bingo )
Tony - Largo Missiroli Alberto, 13 (Circonvalazione Gianicolense)
