The easiest way to get around Rome is by walking. Everything is worth seeing, each tourist location is within reach. Just beware of pickpockets especially in the metro and bus. Avoid bus 64 as much as possible.
If you are planning to visit Colloseum, beware of those men dress in Gladiator. They will say picture taking is free, but after taking picture, they will ask for 10 Euro!
Here is the itinerary I prepared for my visit. However, I failed to follow it, because when I get there, I just keep on walking. It’s fun to walk because there so many people walking by.
Trevi fountain is under construction but it’s still worth visiting. Italian men are charming indeed 🙂
