Pay attention to Pickpockets
Beware of pickpockets at Termini station, on the subway and in line at the Vatican Museums and near Saint Peter’s Basilica, because tourists are victims of gipsy thieves.

Free water!
You can drink from the little public water fountains, called “nasoni” (big noses): there are a lot in the city center! The water here in Rome is so good, so take a bottle and refill it with those when you go around!

No tourists traps
Rome welcomes more than 31 million tourists a year, and around the places of interest it is full of places for tourists. They offer very bad food at very high prices. Never go into a restaurant that does not have the prices displayed outside. If there is a line outside, it doesn't necessarily mean you are eating well. Read online reviews before going in, especially those of Italians. Always check my IG guides created especially for you, or write to me: I will immediately point you to a good restaurant nearby ♥️

The “coperto” on the bill
In many restaurants you will find the item “coperto” (cover charge) in your receipt. This is 2-4€ per person that you pay for bread, tablecloth and tableware.
