Creator's Key Takeaways

We did a 19 night transatlantic cruise. We went to the Amalfi Coast, Sarrento, and now we are here in Rome.

We ate McDonald's for dinner. It was incredible. It was amazing.

Rome was not our favorite place. It was giving New York vibes. Just city vibes in general.

I am not embarrassed to say I ate McDonald's every day because at least I was in Italy eating McDonald's.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wake up early to visit St. Peter's Basilica to avoid long lines and heat.
Use skip-the-line tickets for popular sites, but expect some waiting even with them.

High food costs in ItalyConsider quick options like McDonald's for affordable meals; plan for expensive sit-down dinners.
Long lines at attractionsPre-book tickets and visit early morning to avoid crowds and heat.
