RECOMMENDED NEIGHBORHOODS

SAFETY NOTES
  • 01Pickpockets and fake-petition scammers work bus 64 (Termini → Vatican), Termini station, and around the Colosseum.

  • 03Centurions in costume demanding €20 for a photo are not authorised — politely refuse.
  • 04August can hit 38 °C with many shops closed for ferragosto.
