Planning a trip to Rome? You'll want to keep reading these 5 crucial facts about visiting Rome before you go!
- If you don't mind walking, it is possible to reach all the popular monuments and districts on foot.
I always thought Rome was such a large city that exploring it without using the metro or buses would be impossible. However, most of the famous monuments and neighborhoods are relatively close to each other, so you might prefer to walk instead of using public transportation.
- Free admission to museums is every first Sunday of the month in Rome.
If you're in Rome on the first Sunday of the month, you can enjoy free entry to state museums and cultural sites. Be prepared for long queues, particularly at the most popular attractions. Arrive early to beat the crowds and maximize your time!
- Watch out for pickpockets!
Given that Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world, the presence of pickpockets is unsurprising, and tourists are their primary targets. Always be mindful of your surroundings, carry your bag in front of you, and avoid using your back pockets!
- Refill your water bottle at Rome's “Nasoni” fountains.
Rome is home for thousands of drinking fountains known as Nasoni, named for their distinctive shape, which provide a continuous supply of pure water. Instead of purchasing plastic bottles, you can refill your empty bottle at these fountains!
- Make sure to try Carbonara before leaving Rome!
Carbonara is a typical pasta dish from the Rome region, made with pancetta, cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper. This dish is widely available in restaurants, and I highly recommend you try it because it's absolutely delicious!
