Creator's Key Takeaways

Rome is very big and there's a lot to take in and yeah I clocked almost 10 miles walked today and over 23,000 steps.

Pickpocketers are real I'm super glad for the bag that we have... a money belt was definitely necessary for sure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a cut-resistant, lockable bag and a money belt for safety in crowded areas.
✓Carry cash (Euros) as many vendors, including Hop-on Hop-off bus ticket booths, do not accept cards.
✓Do not accept items (flowers, bracelets) from street vendors as they will demand payment.
✓Avoid engaging with street hustlers; do not make eye contact or respond to questions.

Navigating public transport in a foreign country — Book an excursion that handles train tickets and logistics to reduce stress.
Crowds at major landmarks — Visit popular sites as early in the morning as possible.
