#16 if your restaurant is close to a famous monument, or has a board showing photos of their food, it’s a tourist trap #17 avoid the train stations area, for example Termini Station in Rome is an area with a lot of homeless people and the crime rate is high #18 if the gelato place has bright, colorful and visible ice cream, avoid that and go to a traditional one

Very right, I was a bit disappointed with the gelati I tried. I think I did not go to the right places. I disagree slightly about Termini: while not great the area is certainly nowhere as bad as comparable train stations in my own country or for example Gare du Nord in Paris/Central in Sydney. The homelessness seems very mild. Maybe to the credit of Italians this still does seem like something that should not be tolerated.

I went to rome and the #1 thing I learnt was all the tourist traps, places close to famous monuments or has a board showing photos of their food. We ate at ‘side streets’ which was much more cheaper and so lovely!

Yes, video is frequently disingenuous to make its point. Those 2/3 who don't speak any English are not in Rome, Florence, Venice, etc. It is certainly polite to make an effort to speak as much Italian as you can, and have Google translate on hand for non-basics. Then the shop keeper will smile and wave it away. Romans can be a tad brusque, much like New Yorkers with a 2000 year headstart, but the rudeness implied here is more of a Parisian thing.

I’m so glad I learnt to speak Italian 🇮🇹 many years ago. When I first came to Rome in 2008, my spoken Italian wasn’t great. In spring 2024 after years of improving, I speak more fluently. I went to Naples, noticed the Neapolitan accent and engaged in conversation with the locals. In Rome, I walked around. I’ve been to many of the ancient ruins. The driving and parking is terrible. As a British traveller it’s tricky crossing the road as I’m used to driving on the left and looking right while crossing. In Italy I have to remember to look left first.

Really fantastic tips!

I'm so glad I took the time to learn some basic Italian before we went (DuoLingo for 8 months was a blessing). Many of the places around the major attractions will have English speaking people, but there are many places you might end up where this is not the case. Also, if you want to eat at many of the food places where locals eat at you will need to know your foods and some of the words like AL and DI to understand exactly what your ordering. You can use a translator of course, but cell reception wasn't always great in some places which would have left us in a tough spot at times. Know your foods and the singular/plural versions of words, like for example "due cappuccini" (2 cappuccino's). If you say "due cappuccino" they may think you want a double (doppio) of one coffee. I ran into this issue.

Hi. JSYK. Ciao is used only among friends/family, and kids even if they don’t know each other. Among adults, or young to adult, the young shows respect using, buongiorno/ buonasera/ salve… the adult can ‘tu’ (you) the young. Kids use ciao to everybody, but that is not the polite thing to do. Among friends or even colleagues where friendly you is used, ciao is said both when you meet and when you leave. If you don’t know the person, you don’t use ciao, as an adult and with an adult. It’s ok with kids 😊. Anyway Italians don’t realize how much ciao is liked abroad, and hearing it from foreigners makes us smile. So it’s good! Greetings from the Riviera di Ponente ❤

Excellent

Thank you 😊

Question! From what I understand the first Sunday of each month, exhibits or tourist attractions are free? Is this true?
