  • Like any big city, you should use common sense and try to avoid any area which is dark or isolated. Be aware of your sorroundings and always have your money in a safe place (money belt, bra?). What I usually do is know exactly where I am going, how to get there and if I am taking the metro, have my ticket in hand. Pickpocketers are found in every major city, so being alert is your best bet. Leave expensive jewelry at home and never carry more money then you need. Leave your passport and extra cash and travelers checks at the hotel safe. If you are staying at a hostel, I would recommend that you carry your important belongings in a seperate small bag, pack or shoulder bag. Make sure you have copies of your passport and numbers of travelers checks (if you carry these) in a seperate location for just in case they are lost or stolen. The number to your local consulate is a good idea as well as is the phone number to the local authorities.

     Excellent Rome page with lovely photographs! Bring back fond memories of our trip to the city of Rome several years ago. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang

     I still have a bag of old Lira coins that aren't worth anything any more, so maybe I'll bring them to Rome and throw them over my left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain.
