Thank you for these tips 🤩I’m finding Rome to be overwhelming; nevertheless I want to travel Italy to experience it. My Mom , Uncle and Grandfather (1st marriage) were all born in Corropoli and moved to Canada in the ‘50’s. Unfortunately all three were loss when I was young so never had the chance to ask them about Italy 🇮🇹. Their family name was : Varze ; if anyone from Italy has this last name, please let me know. My mom named me ‘Bari Marcus Anthony’. This being said I most likely will travel Italy to see Rome, Pompeii, Venice and Como without the aid of my relatives in Italy, simply cuz I can’t find them. As a greenhorn tourist to Italy I pretty much need all the advice I can get coming from Canada, including the best connecting flights, hotels and places to eat . Cheers ! Chef Bari

Rome is a bit chaotic but awesome at the same time. My recommendation is just do it. For first time in Rome try staying in the Monti area where there is easy access to the subway and many things to see within walking distance. If you do not stay in Monti just try to stay in city center/ historical area. May I also recommend you visit Florence. It is a small city and easy to get around and it is also stunningly beautiful. I personally did not care for Pomeii it was ruin overload for me but most people really enjoy it. I would rather visit Sorrento and Naples that are nearby. Have a great trip. I hope you find your relatives!

I’m currently in Rome and we were scammed by a taxi. We had no idea about the app, we stood in the Taxi pickup area. We gave the driver a 50 Euro and he hid it and pulled out 5 Euro and said that is what we gave him. They need to do something about these scoundrels!
@RozierRoma6 ай бұрын
Sorry to hear that really sucks. There is always somebody out there trying to take advantage. Yeah I would recommend using the app next time you get a taxi because on the app it tells you the amount that’s anticipated for the ride and you can also pay through the app. If you don’t pay through the app I pay with credit card to the taxi. Also, whenever you get in a taxi, make sure they turn the meter on just so they can’t make up a price when they get there. The meter should be in display that you can watch the fee increase as you progress on your trip. Remember if you use a taxi late at night, on Sundays and holidays there is a few dollar surcharge in addition to their normal rates, but that’s included on the meter. The pick up fee is just greater during those times.

Le statue più ammirate da Goethe, Winkelman, Lessing, Stendhal e dai turisti del Grand Tour, in gran parte , sono esposte nel Museo Nazionale Romano nella sede di Palazzo Altemps. Questo museo è immenso: ha quattro sedi: Palazzo Massimo (vicino alla stazione Termini),Palazzo Altemps (vicino a Piazza Navona),le Terme di Diocleziano (vicino alla stazione Termini) e Cripta Balbi. Ecco un piccolissimo elenco di opere di eccezionale importanza: Il Galata suicida insieme alla sua donna (faceva coppia con il Galata morente dei Musei Capitolini) Discobolo Lancellotti (statua contesa fra Roma e Monaco di Baviera) Discobolo di Castel Porziano Acrolito Ludovisi (originale greco) Niobide degli orti sallustiani (originale greco importantissimo) Trono Ludovisi (originale greco) Ermes Loghios Ares Ludovisi (con eccezionali restauri di G.L.Bernini) Erinni Ludovisi (originale greco) Augusto nella veste di Pontefice Massimo Il Busto di Giunone (Goethe se ne immamorò a tal punto che acquistò il relativo gesso che portò a casa sua a WEIMAR dove ancora si vede). L'Apollo del Tevere Il pugile in riposo Il principe ellenistico LA FANCIULLA DI ANZIO (originale ellenistico preziosissimo che fu acquistato dallo stato italiano con una cifra enorme per evitare che uscisse dai confini dell'Italia). Il ritratto dell'imperatore Gallieno Ara di Ostia antica Sarcofago Ludovisi Sarcofago di Acilia Christus docens Efebo di Subiaco Ecc.ecc. Inoltre in questo museo sono conservati gli affreschi della villa di Livia , la moglie dell'imperatore Augusto e gli affreschi della villa Farnesina. Perché queste pitture sono importanti? Perché sono opere dei pittori migliori essendo le loro opere destinate addirittura all'imperatore! Nessun museo al mondo possiede pitture di questa qualità! Quando esisteva il Grand Tour e i turisti erano più preparati intellettualmente essi si rivolgevano al più illustre ritrattista dell'epoca Pompeo Batoni . Si facevano effigiare accanto a molte delle statue che ho prima citato. Questi ritratti ora sono esposti nei più prestigiosi musei del mondo (National Gallery di Londra, Galleria Nazionale di arte antica di Roma, Louvre ecc.ecc, ) Potrei parlare molto più a lungo. Mi meraviglio che questo museo sia così poco noto all'estero. In realtà è probabilmente il più importante del mondo per quanto riguarda I 'arte greco-romana. Sono stato abbastanza convincente?

Thanks for the very practical tips! I’ve watched over a dozen videos for my upcoming trip and yours has been the most informative! I did have a couple questions: 1) Tap and Go will obviously means you avoid fines at any stage since you’re always validated, but do you need to tap out on the bus? 2) I had to buy a new ticket (earlier train) via the Trenitalia app from Cinque Terre to Rome, is there a ticket resale platform as I can’t get a refund?
@RozierRoma2 ай бұрын
Answer to first question you only need to tap when getting on but. Also there are a few metro stations where you will need to tap to get out, Also good to know the Tap & Go machines are located on front of bus so best to enter at front. Train tickets that are not assigned seats need to be validated. If you are on a non high speed train your purchased ticket can be used for other times just validate before getting on departure. If you purchased high speed train tickets you may be able to get a partial refund just depending on the type of ticket you purchased.

Appreciate this comprehensive yet simple video! We are going to Rome in 4 weeks and it’s not possible to buy a ticket to the vatican anymore. Of course on some ripoff sites you can buy them but not from the official site. Do you thin kwe can get in at 8am buying a ticket right there?
@RozierRoma4 ай бұрын
To go to the Vatican Basilica it is free and it opens at 7 AM. If you get there before eight, you should not have too long of a line to stand in. If you want to go to the museum, it opens at 8 AM.. I was just getting there closer to seven or 7:30 AM at the latest to get in line for tickets. The earlier the better. The line putting the museum starts forming early. Hope you had a great trip.

A fantastic video. So well made just one question. Let's say I tap my card getting onto the bus or at the metro, don't I have to make sure I tap again getting off the bus or coming out of metro, otherwise I'll keep been charged? That's how it was in London so not sure.

No, you do not. Online B there are some turnstiles that will require you to tap again for the turnstile to work but it will not charge you. Otherwise, you do not need to tap again to get off buses or metro.

Great video, with a tap and go does it have a ticket that registers in your wallet so you can prove you paid? Also what is the train app you used? Thanks
@RozierRoma6 ай бұрын
This happened to me recently. If you use a credit card or an app on your phone, all you need to show the attendant is your credit card or app and let them know that you use tap and go. They have a device to quickly check if the card or app was used. It takes about five seconds. The app I was using was Italo. Another app is Trenitalia. Both have high-speed rail, but I typically use it low as it is typically less expensive and equally nice trains. The network of trains is not as extensive as the other, but it does tend to serve most of the popular cities with high-speed rail. There are other apps out there, third-party apps that I would not recommend using.

Just a heads up, the Vatican now opens up at 7 AM. The tickets are not needed to enter Saint peters basilica. It is free. If you go to the museum, you can purchase tickets and the museum opens up at 8 AM, but I would get in line by 7:30 AM. As long as you get there before 8 AM.

@RozierRoma4 ай бұрын
I recommend staying in Rome. You can catch the train at Termini train station and there’s also a train station that it passes next to or very close to the Vatican that you can catch to Ciavitavechia. That way you can spend more time in Rome and the boats don’t leave until the evening so you have plenty of time to get there without a problem .

Or do I have to buy new ticket? Thank you!

It is very rare that high speed trains with pre-paid tickets get cancelled but if for some reason they do they will notify you via the app and give you options. We just put out a Rome Travel Guide called Rome Travel Guida. I think it would be very helpful to you as you plan your visit, It is $20 but half off with code "Guidame".

Splendid advice! If I wanted to see the Basilica at the Vatican in the evening will there be long lines then? Thanks.
@RozierRoma3 ай бұрын
Skipping the lines in the morning is guaranteed where the afternoon evening can be a bit tricky. In the summer, it closes at 7 PM and trying to time it so you have enough time inside the basilica can be a bit tricky. You may want to consider purchasing museum tickets for around 4 PM that include skip the line into the Vatican so you can go immediately into the basilica after touring the Museum. Maybe 4 PM tickets so you have two hours to tour the museum and then you can head over to the basilica directly from there. That may make the most sense if you want to see both if you just want to see the basilica the lines do, decrease in the evening but again it can be a bit difficult to time perfectly

Yes, I was just bringing up the museum because they have skipped line tickets for the Basilica and that’s the only way to get in to the Basilica with Skip the line. To go to St. Peter’s basilica it is free. I need to get there early in the morning or try your luck in the afternoon/evening.

@RozierRoma3 ай бұрын
For high-speed rail, that is where you save money not on the regular local trains and the app I use is Italo app. Remember you have to book as far in advance as possible, especially in peak season to get savings but if you don’t use your ticket for any reason they will not refund you any money. That is the slight drawback best of luck.
@RozierRoma3 ай бұрын
You do save money by taking local trains. Don’t get me wrong but the price does not change typically with advanced purchase that’s all I’m saying. If you’re not going very far and you have the time taking a regular train to, for example Naples consider you quite a bit of money if you don’t get a good discount on the high-speed, but it does take, about two hours longer

Hello. It seems that you are giving contradictory information regarding the Metro. On the one hand it sounded like you could tap and go into the Metro and therefore no ticket is needed. And then at another point you say that Metro people may check on your way out of the Metro for a ticket. But if you tap in you won't have a ticket. So, question is, do you or do you not need a ticket to get on the Metro? I may have heard incorrectly, so just checking as we are leaving for Rome in mid June
@RozierRoma3 ай бұрын
Sorry I was not clear. If you are using paper tickets, if proof of purchase is required, you will need that ticket on the way out. So do not throw your ticket away until you exit. If you are using Tap & Go just show the ticket enforcer your credit card or phone and they have device they tap it with to verify if used to purchase. So your phone or credit card is your ticket. Hope that helps.
