Packing Lists: Be prepared to walk
  • Tip Rating:
  • Luggage And Bags: A day pack is a necessity and you will also want a net bag for grocery shopping. Carren used one quite extensively. I was the pack mule though. I came back from the supermarket several time with my big backpack loaded down.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfy walking shoes. Cobblestones, steps, stairs, and cement. If you wear cruel shoes you will regret it.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Rome is ultra modern so you need nothing special. They have anything you will need.

    Photo Equipment: Buy your film at your local shop before you come. Even though film is plentiful it is expensive here because of all the tourists.


    Miscellaneous: A jacket with lots of pockets is a must. I carried maps, a compass, water, film, etc.

     Great idea to rent the apartment and shop in the local stores. You really get the feel of the city that way. Smart move. I totally agree with you about that wonderful late day light..awesome.
