  • One of the main things Romans will tell you not to do is visit in August! Since we were headed to a wedding, we didn't have much choice but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone said. It was hot - very hot, especially for someone like me who prefers cooler weather! - but we found ways of avoiding the heat. Many restaurants were closed for the month but we found a few good ones still open.

  • If you read over all the other tips in this section, remember they are there for a good reason. Rome is like any other big city that is popular with tourists - it is also popular with beggars, con artists and thieves. It is not a dangerous place and the warnings should not put you off visiting. Just be aware of yourself and your belongings at all times and you will be fine.

     Brava, good pages! Hotels in Rome is a real problem: expansive and very low quality. Paolo Conte? Well, it's a universe..... ;-) It takes years and years.....
