Traffic: Do not fear! ;-)

  • Everyone says Rome traffic is caotic and dangerous, and crossing the road is an adventure, only for the bravest and most fearless people.

    Well, that's true. But, surprisingly, I found it safer to cross the road in Rome than in the other cities I visited. You just have to get used to it, and put your foot on the road with confidence and security. Don't worry, the drivers will not hit you (but they won't stop either...).

    During the month I stayed there, I learned that there is a special set of traffic rules, that an outsider cannot understand, but the native roman obeys (yes, it may seem the opposite but, inside the anarchy, there are rules).

     Avoid this place as it offers ice cold vinegar as read wine. It is also infested with big rats which call themselves as waiters.
