The Best Views
For a free and unforgettable panoramic view of the city at sunset, climb the Janiculum Hill ('Gianicolo') or the Pincio Gardens above Piazza del Popolo.
The Keyhole
On the Aventine Hill, look for the gate to the Priory of the Knights of Malta. If you look through the keyhole, you'll have a perfectly framed view of St. Peter's dome.
Church Dress Code
To enter St. Peter's Basilica and most churches, it is mandatory to cover your shoulders and knees. Bring a scarf or scarf to cover yourself if necessary.
Greetings and Courtesy
Greet with 'Buongiorno' (good morning) in the morning and 'Buona sera' (good afternoon/evening) from midday. 'Grazie' (thank you) and 'Prego' (you're welcome) are essential.
Baby from the 'Nasoni'
Rome is full of small public fountains of continuous drinking water, called 'nasoni'. The water is fresh, free and of excellent quality. Carry a reusable bottle.
Farmacias ('Farmacia')
They are identified with a green cross. They offer professional advice for minor ailments. There are always on-call pharmacies open 24 hours a day.
Beware of Pickpockets
It is the main risk. They perform on the subway (especially line A and B), busy buses (line 64), and in crowds. Wear crossbody bags and backpacks on the front.
Don't leave anything on the tables
Never leave your phone, wallet or camera on the table on a terrace. It is a very easy goal.
