Don’t be afraid to try out everything, or you won’t get the complete experience!
Though there are many, many cities with great cultural backgrounds, I think Roma has to be the richest of places I’ve seen in terms of a wholesome culture. It’s a tourist haven during summer it seems, but this does not subtract from the beauty—It’s certainly a lively atmosphere.
The food is fantastic, so you’d have to be foolish not to leave without a full tummy. ; ) And the opera? For me, it really completed the experience.
Don’t forget to delve into the history a bit! All of Italy has such an inticing background quite worth looking into. It’s always great to understand the roots of the culture at hand, no?
But do watch for things like pick-pocketing! Tourists are targetted, because they normally don’t know any better, so it’s a good thing to keep in mind. Take only the money you need with you when you’re strolling through the streets. Keep all your belongings close!
