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."
