I keep forgetting to post… so here is my last min. question. Our Daughter is going to study abroad in Rome. Tips? Suggestions? Things to do? We will be going in March I have no idea what we want to do/see. Help!!! Thanks
Can’t go wrong with house wine by the liter. So much to see in Rome, but short day (or 2-3 day) trips are worth it too. Almost the whole country is less than a 5 hour drive away. Don’t be afraid of gas station food, you’ll find some great coffee and panino at roadside stops that would be totally off limits in the US. You can, and should, get gelato at almost any cafe; it’s a staple food that should be consumed daily. Siesta is real in Italy, it can be very difficult to eat or shop between 1-3pm so plan accordingly. Carry some cash if you’re traveling to more rural areas, CCs are accepted almost everywhere in cities like Rome, but Italians still use cash much more frequently. Buon viaggio!
@jmdavidson1 got any ideas for @mommadeb?
@karenhynes Traveling right now, but when I return (in a few days), I’ll chime in.
Wine, wine and more wine; and coffee.
And good eats.
@rjquillin i already fugured the wine part…
. No coffee…we will be flying into London, Gatwick and need to figure what to do between there and Rome.
