Tourist Trap: The Plague
  • Tip Rating:
  • The biggest plague of southern Europe is people from Napoli. Their mentality is to be parassites and to live on other people shoulders. So wherever you are, pay attention to people from Napoli or people who speaks with Napolitan accent. They will try to sell you bricks pretending it's mobile phone or something else, they will try to steal you money and everythings else, some times even your souls.

    At Least Do This: In every ambigue situation, call police dialing 113 from any phone.
    Alternative: If you are going to buy something, have clues about super discounts and try to buy things only in normal shops.

    Tourist Trap: Night Clubs
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • You may meet some people offering you a free or cheap entrance to some night clubs. Usually there are strippers inside. After show these ladies will approach you and ask you to offer something to drink. Don't do that. You can pay even hundreds euros for those drinks. After drinks they will offer you sex on payment.

     Wonderful Roma page! I love the Pellacchia bar on Via Cola di Rienzo for their ice cream too! Each time I am in Roma I make sure I go there at least two times!

     Beh, che scrivessero male dei romani... poi sta alla gente vedere da che parte sta la ragione

     Se fossi un onesto "immigrato" napoletano mi darebbe parecchio fastidio esser messo nel mucchio...
    Maurizioago Wed Jul 20, 2005 08:28 UTC
     Hai scritto dei buoni tips. Non mi piace perņ il commento sui napoletani. Non bisogna fare di tutta l'erba un fascio. Se fossi napoletano mi sentirei molto offeso.
