How to spend a day in Rome, based on your Zodiac sign
It’s officially the end of January and you’ve probably already read everything there’s to read about what awaits you this 2019. But I’m not here to tell you whether you’re going to be successful or fall in love. I’m here to give you a bit of inspiration on how to spend a day in the Eternal City based on your sign. Because although everyone has different opinions on what makes up the perfect day, as much as you don’t want to believe in astrology, people of the same Zodiac sign do have some things in common.
Capricorn
The ambitious, goal-oriented and practical Capricorn is inspired by all-things of the past. And where better to get inspiration than Rome? Time-travel back to ancient Rome by exploring the historic center. From the Colosseum to the Roman Forum and Pantheon, there’s a lot to see. Or better yet, have a blast from the past by visiting the ancient Terme di Caracalla with augmented reality. Afterwards, walk to the Jewish Quarter where you can indulge in a delicious lunch, before heading to your hotel room to relax. Dinner and drinks are definitely in store, and if you’re up for it, dancing too!
Aquarius
As free spirits with a strong independent personality, Aquariuses like to be out and about and enjoy the pleasures in life. Explore the historic center and get lost in its beauty, visiting churches, shops and admiring views of the Eternal City.

When the clock ticks 7pm, it’s time to enjoy a Roman aperitivo, followed by dinner, drinks and … you guessed it … dancing!
