“Welcome to Asmara — Africa’s Little Rome. Where art deco meets espresso, palm-lined streets meet vintage Fiats, and tradition blends with timeless style. A city of calm mornings, coffee ceremonies, and modernist marvels at 2,325 meters above sea level. #Asmara #Eritrea #AfricasLittleRome #asmara #UNESCOWorldHeritage #ModernistArchitecture #TravelAfrica #AsmaraVibes #EastAfricaTravel #ethiopia #HiddenGems #VintageVibes #ArtDecoCity #eritrea #reel #FiatTagliero #AsmaraStreets #eastafrica #africa

Have you ever heard of Eritrea? It is a former Italian colony and its influence is remarkably well-preserved in the form of giant cathedrals, pizza parlors, gelato shops, old Italian cars, and appetites, and many people can still speak fluent Italiano. After 48 hours of roaming around the capital of Asmara and the ancient port city of Massawa, I can’t help but notice how Italian it feels here!!
