  • Be careful of pickpockets and small annoying children who will rob you blind. Use a money holder that goes under your clothing. It's a good idea to keep a fake wallet/change purse with a few thousand lira in an easy to reach location so even if you get chosen, they think they found a poor target.

     I surely intend to visit Rome soon! Maybe even this October. Your tips are excellent. Especially love the one about the top of St. Peters. Ha ha ha. I don't think I can get my wife to sit down for very long, but a gelato I can convince her to get! YUM!

     Nice page. I like the part about if you die there are lots of priests.
