Make a photo book of your Rome trip
- 4 illustrated covers drawn for Rome
- Hardcover, softcover or layflat, in three sizes
- Made on the web or in the app, printed when you order
Rome is a city you photograph walking. Turn a corner and there is a Baroque fountain, a column two thousand years old, a church ceiling you have to lie down to take in, a scooter parked against an ochre wall. By the third day your camera roll is ruins, pasta, marble and sunsets in roughly equal measure, and none of it in order.
A photo book puts it back together, one neighbourhood and one day at a time. The covers say Rome in tall serif capitals with the year beneath, over one picture of the city: the Colosseum twice, an Aperol spritz for the evenings, or tortoiseshell sunglasses beside an espresso for the trip that ran on coffee.
All 4 Rome photo book covers
Every one is drawn for a place in Rome. Tap a book to try it on above, then fill it with your own photos.
Aperol spritz
Rome
An Aperol spritz in a stemmed glass full of ice, an orange slice on the rim, on coral, for a Rome trip of long aperitivo hours in Trastevere and the piazzas.
Start with this coverColosseum and cypresses
Rome
The Colosseum in pale sandstone, its broken upper ring and rows of arches drawn simply, with two dark cypresses beside it on sage green, for a first visit built around ancient Rome.
Start with this coverEspresso & sunglasses
Rome
Tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses beside a green-rimmed espresso cup with a lipstick kiss on its side, on coral pink, for a stylish Rome weekend of cafés and window shopping.
Start with this coverColosseum
Rome
The Colosseum in sunset golds, oranges and reds, its arches casting deep shadows, on peach, for a Rome trip remembered for its evenings.

Where in Rome?
The cities, coasts and corners the Rome covers are drawn for. Pick the place your trip was about, or keep the whole country on the front.
Rome
4 covers
All four covers are drawn for Rome itself. The Colosseum appears twice, once in pale stone with cypresses on sage green and once glowing in sunset colours on peach, and either suits a book where the ancient city is the heart of it. The Aperol spritz and the espresso with sunglasses are for the other Rome: early evenings in a piazza, and mornings standing at a bar counter.
Ancient Rome and Monti
The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill fill a long day and most people's first chapter. Monti, just behind the Forum, is where to eat afterwards: cobbled lanes, ivy, wine bars and the fountain in the Piazza della Madonna dei Monti. Either Colosseum cover belongs to this part of the trip.
The centro storico
The old centre is a walk you can do in a morning and photograph for a week: the Pantheon's open oculus, Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona, the market stalls of Campo de' Fiori, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. The espresso and sunglasses cover suits the cafés between them.
The Vatican
St Peter's Square inside Bernini's colonnade, the climb to the top of the dome, the spiral staircase at the end of the Vatican Museums, and Castel Sant'Angelo across the river with its bridge of marble angels. The Sistine Chapel is the one room in Rome you cannot photograph, so a caption on that day's page keeps the memory. There is no Vatican cover, but any Rome cover takes a new title.
Trastevere, Testaccio and the Aventine
Across the Tiber, Trastevere is washing lines and ivy over narrow lanes, the gold mosaics of Santa Maria in Trastevere and dinner at a table on the cobbles. Up on the Aventine, the Orange Garden looks across the river to St Peter's, and the famous keyhole on the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta frames the dome. Testaccio, below, is Rome's food neighbourhood, with its covered market. The Aperol spritz is drawn for these evenings.
Day trips from Rome
A bike ride along the Appian Way past tombs and catacombs, the fountains of the Villa d'Este and the ruins of Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, or the streets and mosaics of Ostia Antica, Rome's old port. None has its own cover, and they sit comfortably as the last chapter of a Rome book.
Rome photo book ideas
Most Rome trips are three to five days, spent one part of the city at a time with a day out if there is room. Here is how to turn them into chapters, with the light at its best early in the morning and in the hour before sunset.
Build it chapter by chapter
Follow the route you took and let each stop be its own chapter. Turn on day pages and every day opens with a page you can title, so the book reads in the order you lived it.
The Colosseum and the Forum
The Colosseum's arches from the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the Forum from the terraces behind the Campidoglio as the light turns gold, the view down from the Palatine, and a glass of wine in Monti afterwards.
Fountains and piazzas
The Trevi Fountain at seven in the morning, light falling through the Pantheon's oculus, the Four Rivers fountain in Piazza Navona and the flower stalls at Campo de' Fiori.
The Vatican
St Peter's Square from the end of the Via della Conciliazione, the rooftops from the top of the dome, the spiral staircase in the Vatican Museums, and Bernini's angels on the Ponte Sant'Angelo at dusk.
Villa Borghese and the Spanish Steps
Piazza del Popolo from the Pincio terrace at sunset, rowing boats on the lake in the Villa Borghese gardens, and the Spanish Steps from the top looking down Via Condotti.
Trastevere and the Aventine
Ivy-covered lanes and washing lines in Trastevere, the city from the Janiculum hill, St Peter's dome through the Aventine keyhole, and sunset from the Orange Garden.
A day out
Cypresses and old paving stones on the Appian Way, the terraces of fountains at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, or the theatre and mosaic floors of Ostia Antica.
The little things
The landmarks take care of themselves. These are the photos you’ll be glad you took.
- Cacio e pepe, carbonara or amatriciana
- A supplì still too hot to eat
- A maritozzo for breakfast
- SPQR on a manhole cover

- The espresso you drank standing up

Make it yours
Rome trips are dense with names you will forget by the time you get home: the trattoria behind the Pantheon, the gelateria with the pistachio, the church with the Caravaggios in it. Captions under the photos keep them, and day pages open each day with a heading of your own, so the Vatican day and the day you mostly ate in Testaccio stay distinct.
Switch on the route map and the book opens with a page showing where you went. If you walked twenty kilometres a day, that map tends to be the page people stop on. A softcover suits a long weekend; a hardcover holds a week with day trips comfortably.
Hardcover, softcover or layflat

Rome photo book questions
Which Colosseum cover should I choose?
There are two. One draws the Colosseum in pale stone with two cypresses on sage green, calm and classic. The other paints it in sunset golds and reds on peach, warmer and bolder. Both say Rome with the year beneath.
Is there a cover for the Vatican or a pilgrimage to Rome?
There is no Vatican cover, but every Rome cover can be retitled. For a pilgrimage, many people choose a photo cover style such as Image or Editorial and put their own picture of St Peter's on the front.
Can I put Rome, Florence and the Amalfi Coast in one book?
Yes. Day pages mark each day, so each city reads as its own chapter. Keep a Rome cover and change the title to Italy, or choose from the Italy collection, which has covers for Florence, Venice and the Amalfi Coast.
Which cover suits a Rome trip that was mostly food and drink?
The Aperol spritz is for the evenings and the espresso with sunglasses is for the mornings. Either suits a book where half the photos are plates of pasta.
Does a winter or August trip to Rome suit these covers?
Yes. The drawings are not tied to a season, and you set the year yourself. August is hot and many Romans leave the city around Ferragosto, while winter brings quieter sights, so the pages will look different; the cover still fits.
Can I make my Rome photo book on my phone?
Yes. Make it on the web here or in the TripMemo app on iPhone, which sorts your trip photos by day and place.
How much does a Rome photo book cost?
A Rome photo book starts at £26.49 for a softcover, £28.49 for a hardcover and £41.99 for a layflat, before delivery. The price grows with the pages you add, and you see the exact total, with delivery to your address, before you pay. UK orders usually arrive in 5 to 8 working days, and we ship worldwide.
How many photos do I need for a Rome photo book?
A short break usually gives 60 to 120 photos worth printing, which fill 24 to 40 pages. A week gives 150 to 250 photos for 40 to 80 pages, and two weeks or more 250 to 400 photos for 80 to 150 pages. Your photos are laid out for you, two to a page by default, and you can change it to one to four.
