Your holiday tips: Rome

[EmilieT]

Hi guys, 

In just over a month, I'll be heading to Rome for a week. I'm really excited about visiting the landmarks, seeing the ruins, eating some amazing food, and just taking in the culture and atmosphere

Have any of you been to Rome before, and have any tips to share?

I'm open to all suggestions, whether it's about what to do, where to go, how to go about anything ... it'll be my first time in Italy, so your advice and experience is welcome!

Would agree - that game would have a great atmosphere, but be prepared for the intensity.

Just be careful when eating out, as some restaurants will take advantage of tourists.

I did copy and paste from Google photos as they are all on an external hard drive in Thailand. So Ive downloaded them and I try again.

BTW, the climb to the summit of Vesuvius isn't too taxing unless you have a medical condition. It's a path dug  into the volcano in a spiral and covered with cinders so sandals are out.....except for me! Those photos aren't backed up to Google for some reason?

@jonsieAt least they are showing in your gallery now. They weren't this morning....

Strangely enough I can still see the original photos on this thread, must be something to do with IP addresses or smmat.

That's weird. I can't see them on Laptop using FF or Chrome...not on my Note 8....

I'll look into it, not sure it'll happen but worth checking ... I've only ever been to one football game before, and it was a pre-season friendly so this would be very very different 

@Glory1

No worries, if anything that tells me that it's really worth wandering about, which I love to do 

@jonsie

Love the pictures, thanks for adding them again - Do you have any of your trip up Vesuvius and the bubbling lava?

@Anonymous

526€  That's insane, I always check menus or look up restaurants if I can before going in so we'll be careful, thanks for the warning and the interesting read!

Hi @jonsie just enjoyed looking at your fabulous photos of Rome 

[pgn]

Great photos, @jonsie - Roaming in Rome, never done it. 

[EmilieT]

Thanks @MI5, @Glory1, @jonsie, @Cleoriff, @gmarkj, @Anonymous, @Anonymous and @pgn for chipping in - I appreciate all the suggestions and am now really excited about soon flying to feast on pasta, pizza and gelato 

Just a heads up, I'll be off for the next two weeks after today, until Monday 8th october

During that time if you want to flag anything to the Community Team just give @Martin-O2 or @Marjo a shout. I'll make sure to reply to any PMs or threads when I'm back!
