I have been to Rome twice now and here are 5 of the things I wish I knew before! 1. Don’t ask for lattes or you will get a glass of milk 🥛😂 #truestory 2. Pickpockets, while nothing happened to me, I was pretty shocked at the amount of scammers and people harassing you to buy things, so thread carefully around busy areas 3.Book major attractions in advance (Colosseum, Vatican, Borghese Gallery). They sell out fast! 4. Wear comfy shoes – Rome = cobblestones + lots of walking 5. There a lot of fountains around the city where you can refill your water bottle. Don’t spend money on water! 💧 Share this with someone that is going to Rome and follow for more travel tips and guides! #visitrome #visitrome #rometravel #visititaly #roma Things to do in Rome | Visit Rome | what to know before visiting Rome | Rome guide
