• Prior to visiting Rome, it is important to be mindful to details so that you can make the most of your time in the Italian capital and have great times while exploring every edge of it.
• Purchase advance tickets and tours for major destinations. One of Rome travel tips is to almost always book a tour or skip-the-line tickets before visiting popular attractions, especially the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums.
• Lookout for pickpockets. Pickpockets are common in Rome, especially in high-traffic locations such as transportation hubs and tourist districts.
