Rome Has Transformed: What Visitors Can Expect in 2026

Video Description

Rome has changed a lot over the past few years, and if you’re planning a trip in 2026, you’re going to notice it right away. A lot of people avoided Rome during the 2025 Jubilee and delayed their trip until 2026. But Rome didn’t just prepare for the Jubilee - it used it to make long-term changes that affect how visitors move through the city, access major sites, and navigate crowds. In this video, I’m breaking down what’s new and what it means for your trip so you can plan with confidence. In this video, I cover: ✅ The biggest changes visitors will notice in Rome in 2026 ✅ New booking systems + updated access at major sites ✅ Major 2026 updates for transport (including new metro stops) ✅ Colosseum, Pantheon, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Augustus Mausoleum updates! ---------------------- *👉🏻 Best Tours & Experiences in Rome* ⏱ Rome in a Day Tour: Vatican, Colosseum & Historic Center (Walks of Italy): https://fas.st/t/Ak9zcKyS 🎨 Pristine Sistine Chapel Tour (Early Access): https://fas.st/t/ZCQs3YNK ⛪ St. Peter’s Basilica Tour: Dome & Crypts: https://fas.st/t/KDV35GLM 🏟 Rome: Colosseum Underground Small Group Guided Tour: https://gyg.me/NoLKK8br 🏛 Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour: https://gyg.me/d1bt8xDm ⛪ Pantheon Fast Track Ticket + Official Audio Guide: https://gyg.me/1ZzscyMB 🚗 Rome: City Highlights Golf Cart Tour: https://gyg.me/yX6YG1Q2 *✨ Easy Passes & Tickets for Rome* 🎟 Omnia Vatican and Rome Pass: Top Attractions and Travelcard: https://gyg.me/RgPawMUa 🚇 Roma Pass: Official City Card with Transportation: https://gyg.me/TIPwOTRa 🏛 Rome Tourist Card: https://www.tiqets.com/rome-attractions-c71631/rome-tourist-card-p1013153/?partner=romewise&tq_campaign=rw-yt-rome-updates-2026 ---------------------- ⌚ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 01:12 Will Rome be less busy after the Jubilee? 01:42 Changes at the Vatican (what’s new for visitors) 04:52 Changes at the Colosseum 09:00 Mausoleum of Augustus update 10:52 Termini + Piazza della Repubblica improvements 11:37 Changes at the Pantheon 12:52 ATAC + everyday transport improvements 14:31 Trevi Fountain changes (new access system) *🍿 WATCH NEXT* https://youtu.be/XNtOqSliMs8?si=AA1yUBJF5asPgFf1 https://youtu.be/yrJPhFwIjNg?si=x5uhLDmt9_KSUkow https://youtu.be/Uu6QNBLZ3Ag?si=dkpXvW1OsqWHYUOf https://youtu.be/Clp8TA4yous?si=Tfethpjv-3CLNJ4k https://youtu.be/6alVLJj_SV4?si=RWquSQoLLKU7TF19 https://youtu.be/-UHtT89FSpY?si=PWlIJQcqhCQYW-j9 https://youtu.be/cWWbiwCh1IM?si=PX9h0GNcoKi8RgX5 https://youtu.be/2VDa0h8cmDs?si=4JP-FFoWJ21yJAqh ---------------------- 📘 More Romewise Resources 🚇 Rome Transportation Guide: https://www.romewise.com/rome-transportation.html 🏟 Visiting the Colosseum: https://www.romewise.com/rome-italy-colosseum.html ⛲ Ultimate Guide to the Trevi Fountain: https://www.romewise.com/trevi-fountain-rome.html 📅 7 Days in Rome Itinerary: https://www.romewise.com/7-days-in-rome-italy.html ⛪ Visiting the Vatican (Complete Guide): https://www.romewise.com/visiting-the-vatican.html ✨ Unusual Things to See in Rome: https://www.romewise.com/unusual-things-to-see-in-rome.html ---------------------- ✨ PLAN YOUR TRIP 🚖 Book your airport transfer: https://www.book-online-transfers.com/en/romewise-airport-taxi 🛍 Shop my travel essentials for Italy: https://www.amazon.com/shop/romewise ---------------------- Welcome to Romewise — Your go-to guide to Rome! 🏛 👉 FOLLOW US Website: https://romewise.com/ https://facebook.com/romewise/ https://instagram.com/romewise/ https://pinterest.com/@romewise 👉 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/romewise 👉 GET FREE TRAVEL TIPS & DISCOUNTS Subscribe to the Romewise Newsletter (includes FREE Rome Trip Planning Guide): https://mailchi.mp/romewise/sign-up ---------------------- NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? 👋 I’m Elyssa Bernard — Rome resident & Italy travel expert for 20+ years.
