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!
