Packing Lists: Pack light!

  • Luggage And Bags: My best advice when travelling to Rome is to pack light - you never know how much shopping you may do whilst there!

    Also, cobble stones don't make it easy to drag luggage from the train station to your hotel....

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Make sure you bring comfortable shoes - you will walk and walk and walk in Rome.

    I never bother with heels when travelling in Italy - too many cobble stones to contend with.


    Photo Equipment: Never leave home without your camera, and plenty of spare batteries, cf cards/films etc.

    There are so many great photo opportunities in Rome.


    Miscellaneous: Another good reason to pack light - imagine if you ended up with a hire car like this one!!!

     Excellent Roma page. I like a lot the picture from: Roman Ruins

     I enjoyed your page on Rome, it was not too technical as some I've seen, more accessable.

     Good page. Piazza Barberini; not Berberini. Ciao!
