When in Rome:
  • Don't buy Brie cheese - it is wicked expensive and tastes like crap
  • Get the Roma Pass. For 20-EUR it includes:
    • a 3-day Metro Pass - ride all you want on inner city buses and subways
    • a 3-day Roma Pass - get lots of discounts on museums and operas, it paid for itself in a day of museums
    • a fantastic map of Rome, never got lost
    • a booklet that lists all the museums that take the Roma Pass (other places will take the Roma Pass like the opera we saw)
  • Keep your wallet safe. On every bus and subway you will watch videos warning you about pick pockets
  • Stay at the Hotel Lodi (**) - they breakdown the city for you in 10 minutes and write down all the important things on your map
  • Wine is cheap - explore your options
  • Go to Pisa first
  • Barter. "22-Euro!" "Hahahaha! 5-Euro." "No no." "Fine. //leave//" "Wait! Wait! OK. OK. 5-Euro."
