[HHJ]

Rome is amazing, Venice over-rated, filthy, smells bad and stupidly crowded and expensive.

You should tell the locals that they should put pineapples on their pizzas

Wait till you see the prices in the cafe's LOL

 

[Cpt Migraine]

Expect everything to be more expensive than what you agreed on and keep a fly swatter on you at all to keep the street hustlers off you..

Otherwise rome is amazing!

My favorite parts aside from Rome were Florence and Assisi... also the leaning tower in Pizza was pretty cool. Not sure what I would see that is close to Rome though.

I am looking forward to going back as part of a wine tour of Italy, France and Spain that we're planning. Would love to see more.

Definitely my least favorite of the three but Barcelona and Madrid were pretty cool.

Honestly I would say the reverse myself, I think Venice is more worthwhile than Rome. The latter is basically a busy modern city with some tourist sites within it which are generally crowded were as with Venice the whole city is interesting so yeah places like St Marks, Rialto Bridge, etc are crowded but you can just shift a few streets away from them and the crowds are much less plus islands like Murano and Burano.

Places like Florence or Siena personally I preffer to Rome as again large parts of them are medieval and less crowded so you can just wander around.

Roma are playing Sampdoria and AC Milan in April. They have two other home games also. Lazio (share a stadium with Roma) are playing Juventus at home also, that would be a cool one if you can get seats with the Juventus fans

edit - on second thoughts as fun as it would be I wouldn’t recommend going as a away fan for safety reasons
