To me, Rome has never been so attractive because of these two reasons: Crowds and prices. So this video is perfect for igniting my interest. Hopefully, I will make a visit one day. Thank you Sarah!

[@mariehucal7789]

All of the much needed tips for a future trip! Good to know about standing to order espresso to save a few euro while on the go, I never would have thought of that! Great insight!

[@kelcimcintosh-kk6ok]

THIS IS GREAT!!!! I am heading there on Sunday and this is EXCELLENT information!

[@mariehucal7789]

That’s great timing! Have an awesome trip!

[@ganeshr4371]

We have a layover in Rome airport at night time for 9 hours. Is it safe to travel Rome at night time ??? Please advise. Our flight is at morning 4 am from Rome

[@user-nw4ux5kx9l]

So funny...trying to communicate through traffic and cars 😂, that's real! And also real is the pride of whoever prepares food for you, It´s a genuine way of taking care of each other in Italy. Once, after I ate every single rice grain on my plate, the waiter told me "Giovanna in the kitchen will be happy about it! "

[@NatachaTonissoo]

This takes me back. I got such nostalgia at the part where you’re having a 1 EUR coffee and cornetto ! And adventures in Piazza Navona! I’ll follow this guide next time I’m there ❤

[@GingerLiberationOi]

Fantastic presenter! Informative, entertaining and full of personality. Thanks DW for this wonderful and helpful travel video. 😊

[@lj1989100]

[@BluePlanet88]

Reminds me of my trips there, last time 2019 pre pandemic…

Wow! Good to see Pierluigi again! Looking good and has lost a lot of weight! Roscioli is the best deli I have encountered!

[@courtalaneriz]

Loved the tip about water fountains and cheap pizza at a bakery! I’ve been to Rome but never the Colosseum, now I’ll know how to reserve a ticket!

Ahhh this makes me so excited to go back to Rome! I wish I’d known these tips before my trip a couple of months ago!

[@Ana-Ag.M]

Nice! Thanks for the great tips, I'm ready for Rome!

[@itziarleso]

Great video! Useful and interesting tips told in a very entertaining way. I like the journalist’s humor! :) Makes me want to go and explore Rome!

[@pantatetoiaband5008]

Such a nice video ! Congratulations, she has a very good vibe

[@emanuelecali6697]

7 euros for 2 Spritz is very cheap for any Italian city, could be so only because of the Italian toast?! Wouldn’t expect to see Palazzo colonna in a tour guide, those are great tips for locals too :)

[@whoalardy]

Wow - take me to Rome!!

[@SaiAndHisStories]

Love it! Can’t wait to visit Rome and make my own travel video. Well done @Team DW Travel. Bravo.

[@DWTravel]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@kellysmith8858]

Nice tips! The palace looked amazing, and possibly air conditioned? Always a plus in the summer 😂

[@mariapan551]

Amazing video !! Gives a great vibe and makes me want to visit Rome again ❤

[@Allright890]

Thank you for sharing the link. Happy travel ❤

[@user-re5pn3bk1t]

I really enjoyed this video and it makes me want to go to Rome. It looks like a really nice happening place. Sarah What is delightful to watch. It was shot in a very artsy way.

[@nkromatz]

Looks amazing! Can't wait to visit

[@NateFischer]

Great video! Great advice! I must go there. Well done, Sarah!

[@user-jk5ul9op5g]

Great video with useful travelers information! And the food... Amazing! Makes me wanna go there immediately ❤

[@jurijnowicki8769]

I don't even know what I liked more: the city of Rome or the host of the program... 🤩😍🤩

[@mikebaginy8731]

An enjoyable and helpful guide, thanks! I'm fortunate to have friends living in Rome. They took me to places where Romans eat and the prices were moderate and the cuisine fabulous. They also made sure we started the day early. And no, I NEVER visited in July or August. The heat is nearly unbearable. Rome is a wonderful city. Hiring an official tour guide helps to learn so many details often never found in literature.

[@EnricoOldoni]

Rome is not expensive, if you consider it's a European capital. Cappuccinos at 6 euro or 24 euros for pasta are just serving your narrative here but they only constitute a very minor exception in incredibly touristic areas and the same, and worse, happen abroad. Those, in fact, are the prices tourists pay for the same items in their own contry, in most cases. You'll hardly ever spend more than 1,5 euros for a cappuccno or 15 for a dish of pasta. Aside from that, the tips are legit.

[@omarakl5612]

Great tips! Amazing!🙏

[@ferminmostafafernandez5896]

Se me pasaron volando los 12 minutos del vídeo! Muy buena producción y divina la presentadora.

[@danielparejo8501]

Me encanta, eres una gran reportera. No dejes de subir vídeos de tan buena calidad, me gusta mucho tu forma de explicar. Bravo 🎉 👏🏽 😄😄

[@GUTOMOFFICIAL]

Nice video and tips. New DW host?

[@DWTravel]

No, Sarah isn't new on the channel. She already made an episode about Berlin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIHLlalmnriMiJY And she can often be seen in our shorts videos: kzbin.infolRR42c0wnN0

[@rebeccakenna8032]

Haha that wish throw was perfect 😂 realistic Roma tips at last

[@user-kx2pk5ek2g]

I don’t eat beef. Amazing video.

[@LuomoTigre-sf8hz]

in Italy you are completely free... the important thing is that you don't ruin the monuments. for the rest you can do what you want.

Have you forgotten about the Roman Empire italy?

[@heuristicalgorithm8465]

so, eat crappy food and wake up balls early when mobs of tourists are slightly smaller. sounds super fun.

[@Kwippy]

The best way is to sit at home, order pizza from your town's best Italian, and watch videos like this. Unless you enjoy having strangers' hands in your pockets.

[@Alex_Rome]

Well you obviously can't afford traveling so picking your pockets would be useless

[@jkardez4794]

Great suggestion. If you don't mind missing the fragrances and crowds of Rome .

[@ganeshr4371]

[@Alex_Rome]

@@ganeshr4371 compare to every US cities and town is a thousand times safer. People don't get shot there.

[@dhhjsjzjzjjhsjsjh]

I thought Italy is supposed to be affordable?!?

[@DWTravel]

Depends from where you look at it. And Rome isn't the same like the rest of Italy (more expensive).

[@jkardez4794]

Western Europe is uniformly costly.

[@abuabirisaq.5137]

Plz dw i like you're travel videos. But this days it becoming ridiculous. Look this hotel look this garden. Look this Look that. You should bring back you're full travel documentaries which was touching many things. 😊❤

[@taurussian4591]

You can see the pickpockets…

[@jkardez4794]

Get real ; Italy and Rome are costly . If you try avoiding the costs you'll end up being stressed . Try robbing a bank for starters - prelude to a great getaway !
