Welcome to Rome !
This Italian
city is so beautiful but there is lot of true cliché !
1. To Drive A Vespa
When I went to Rome I heard about vespa but I though this is just an image ... Well I was wrong ! There had a musltitude of them ! But not only red ! There had all color ! It is impressive.
2. They Drive Crazy
I can assure you it is true and it is insane ! I was afraid of cross the street ! Of course I didn't drive ! I am not suicidal xD So I took buses and tube.
3. Becareful Of Thief
I know everyone tell to pay attention to the robber but it is not an exaggeration ! And It is more right on the undeground. I had a backpack and my purse was on the first pocket. Someone stole it from me and I didn't feel anything ! So look out to your things !
4. They Do Not Speak English
It is not an euphemism ! For example when I went to the police after my steal of paper I tried to explain them but nobody spoke english (I do not speak Italian) ; Hopefully they speak spanish ! So I suggest you bring a pocket dictionary ;)
Otherwise Rome is NOT just a cliché !
It is an amazing and alive city ! With very nice monument ! (as you can see on the picture)
I went in winter for christmas and it is just magic with false snow, illuminations, santa claus and the atsmosphere ! It was jsut great !
TIPS :- Take a ticket for the Coliseum and the Forum- To do a guide tour of the Vatican (to takl people in the street)- To choose a familial restaurant for the pizza ! (pasta are not very good)- You can walk in the center (plaza navone, plaza d'espagne)- Basilique st pierre is free and so beautiful !
ENJOY YOUR TRIP !
