Things to Do When Not Watching the Matches
EXPLORE THE COLOSSEUM AND ANCIENT ROME
Visiting the Colosseum is a must, offering an awe-inspiring look at one of the most iconic sports arenas in history, which feels fitting on a rugby weekend. Guided tours often include entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where you can immerse yourself in the ruins of the empire. This experience blends history and atmosphere, making it a perfect off-day activity that balances sport with culture.
DISCOVER VATICAN CITY
If you’re in Rome, the Vatican is only a short journey from most central accommodations, and it offers access to St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. Expect long lines, but the sheer scale and artistry of these sites are unmatched anywhere else in the world. A half-day here delivers a deep dive into art, architecture, and religion, giving your rugby trip a cultural dimension.
INDULGE IN ITALIAN FOOD AND WINE
Away from the stadium, Italy is best enjoyed through its cuisine, with trattorias, wine bars, and gelaterias filling every neighborhood. Fans can explore traditional dishes like cacio e pepe in Rome, risotto in Milan, or bistecca alla Fiorentina in Tuscany, depending on the host city. Pairing these meals with regional wines offers a sensory experience that’s every bit as memorable as the match itself.
WANDER THROUGH ART GALLERIES AND PIAZZAS
Italian cities hosting Six Nations matches are filled with world-class galleries and open-air squares where local life unfolds. Museums like the Uffizi in Florence or the Capitoline Museums in Rome house some of the most famous works of art in Europe. Strolling through piazzas, sipping coffee, and people-watching adds a slower-paced but deeply rewarding element to your trip.
Weather and Climate
Rome in late winter and early spring tends to be mild compared to northern Europe, with daytime temperatures averaging between 10–15°C and evenings dropping to around 5°C. Rain showers are common during this period, but they rarely last all day, meaning you can often enjoy a mix of sunshine and overcast skies. A layered wardrobe with a light waterproof jacket will keep you comfortable whether you’re exploring the city or sitting in the stands.
Parking Arrangements
Flying from Manchester, the most convenient route is to arrive at Rome Fiumicino Airport, which has frequent direct flights and is connected to the city center by the Leonardo Express train in around 30 minutes. Once in central Rome, fans can reach the Stadio Olimpico via tram (Line 2 from Piazza Mancini), bus services, or by using shuttle links provided on match days, though expect these to be crowded. Taxis and rideshares are available, but heavy traffic before and after the game makes public transport the faster and less stressful option for most supporters.

A Colosseum Clash in the Eternal City
The Six Nations always carries an electric atmosphere, but there’s something truly special about England arriving in Rome to face Italy. The Stadio Olimpico becomes a sea of azzurri flags and roaring chants, with English supporters in full voice adding to the intensity, creating a festival of rugby unlike any other. The history of these two nations collides on the pitch — England as seasoned giants of the competition, Italy as fierce underdogs hungry to prove themselves on home soil. It’s more than just a match; it’s a clash of pride, tradition, and sheer willpower, set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most historic cities.
For traveling fans, this fixture is as much about the experience as it is the result. You’ll watch rugby unfold in a stadium where legends of football and athletics have competed, surrounded by Roman passion that turns every tackle and try into a moment of theatre. The match weekend is made for memory-making: you might start the day with espresso in a piazza, soak up the build-up in streets buzzing with both English and Italian fans, and finish under floodlights with the roar of the Olimpico echoing long into the night. Rome doesn’t just host this game — it elevates it into an unforgettable occasion.
