Very often the excitement for a trip makes the scheduling less important than the dreams we have. We spend lots time imagining how the country we are going to visit will be and we forget that, even if we are tourists, there are some precaution to be taken. Travelling to Rome may be very interesting, but also quite expensive, this is why it is advisable to book the place to stay at before, staying in a Rome b&b would be the best, hosts are always very welcoming and happy to give the best tips and advices about the places to visit during the day and at night time, and it is also a good chance to get to see how Italian and roman classical houses are like without paying too much and having assured the same privacy of a most expensive and cold hotel.

Also it is important to remember that we are not the only one to visit the city, Rome is a very touristic city, if we plan to visit it during holidays or vacations, remember it is going to be even more touristic. This is why prices are going to be higher and lines longer. Don’t even think to be able to visit the Vatican Museum standing in line for less than a couple of hours at late morning, like it is unthinkable to buy water in Trevi Square for less than 2 euros. Knowing this before is a plus, because it makes it possible to get organized waking up early and stopping by a supermarket to buy food and water and let the time spent passing in a line less unbearable.. even if unavoidable!

Planning before the tour gives also the chance to rent a bike to move from a place to another, it is quite cheap with bike sharing and at night you are not going to be so tired and you can enjoy your dinner at Campo de Fiori and your Giolitti’s ice cream.
