Something about Rome...
Rome is a splendid city. Full of attractions and curiosities. The historical center is full of mistery, monuments, beatiful streets and people from all over the world.
This makes Rome one of the most visiteds city in history!
Here in this tourism tips web site you can find some tips about events that will occur in the city and also some tips about the living traditions, what you should do and visit in town and how to get to nice places.
Rome is a big city, so even if it´s a safe city tourists must pay special attention while walk the streets. In some places, specially in center (Piazza di Spagna, Tever bridges, Piazza Navona, San Pietro´s square etc.) pick pockets come and ask you something about your "origin" and while you answer them they might try and pick your pockets... Also in the buses that go to San Pietro and Via del Corso... As an example the 64 one... That one is always full of tourists so you may pay special attention when it´s full !
But in general Rome is a very safe and calm city!
The traffic is not organized at all... If you choose to rent a car its not recomended that you drive in the historical center, because the streets are little and the traffic can confuse you! And also because its much more special to walk the streets of Rome... They are charming and you can always find something special in a misterious corner!
Below we´ll list some important events that can make your stay more fun and interesting!
