Fall isn't far away, and if you're new to Rome, add Ginkgo Tree Watch to your fall bucket list. 💛🍂

Every year, usually between late October and mid-November, the iconic ginkgo trees in downtown Rome transform into a breathtaking canopy of brilliant gold. The catch? The peak only lasts for a week or two before the leaves drift to the ground, making it one of the most anticipated signs of fall in our community.

Planning your first visit to Rome? Time your trip around Ginkgo Tree Watch and experience one of our favorite local traditions. It's a little bit of fall magic that's worth seeing in person.
