  • You may find locals ocassionally short-change you. If possible, try and work out how many 1000's of lire you should have in change before you go to pay for anything. It's easy to get confused, especially in your first couple of days. Also, beware of the men making friendship bracelets at the Spanish Steps (if they're still there)! They've got one on your wrist before you know it and then want about £15 for it!
