5 Tourist Traps / SCAMS in ROME, ITALY

NEW VIDEO PART 2: • TOURIST TRAPS & SCAMS ...
Support me on Patreon 🤗 / hellonickiiii
As beautiful as Rome is, there will always be people who try to take advantage of us unsuspecting tourists.
1) Unauthentic Italian restaurants
They have the red and white Italian table covers, friendly ushers and a wine selection, but they're only targeting tourists. Why do you think?
2) Food karts
They also ONLY target tourists. 5 euro water when water is free around rome, 3 euro gum and 7-8 euro tiny gelato that tastes like it was made with sewage water. Not even airports charge this much.

    Good advice. Buy responding you provide them with a good indication of your nationality and temperament. When you demonstrate that you are polite you provide scammers with the knowledge that you do not want to be rude. Some scammers will exploit this by creating situations where you will have to be rude to get rid of them. Remember that these characters do this for a living and will have prepared a selection of clever answers designed to keep you engaged while at the same time searching for your vulnerabilities.

    Hey, I lived and worked in Italy for 3 years. The "No thank you answer doesn't go down well for these jerks. You have to be more confident and just say NOOO, loud. You also have to watch out for lill kids trying to sell you newspaper, make sure they never get too close to you. Water is everywhere in Rome, so don't buy any, Just fill your bottle. The best places to eat is in Trattorias and small stores. If you ask them to make you a sandwich, they will and make it for ya, just pick a ham or salami and point out the type of cheese you want in it. Also go for the smallest cafes and you can have a latte or cappuccino for 1 Euro.

    oh yes...i went to small cafe every morning and had the best 'cafe latte' (don't say latte in Italy if you really want coffee...it's possible that they really think you want milk, or they do this, i.e. give you milk if you ask for latte, to teach stoopid foreigners that 'latte' is italian for 'milk', not 'coffee with milk') for 1.20€ - i guess it was so expensive because of vicinity of circus maxumus and aventinus hill and such. or maybe it was just exceptionally good. it was. :)

    We went to same cafe in Florence with my friend, every morning. We ordered coffe and same pastry daily and didn't mind overpaying a bit - it was 8 or so euroe for 2. Since it was winter we sat inside on one of two tables available there. One morning I was crying, I felt it was impolite to sit inside in front of counter and sob. We sat outside even though it was winter. He came out and asked if we'd like the same order...we told him to bring what we have every morning. I couldn't speak because I was crying. When he gave us bill it was around 15 euros....we were shoked because we asked for the same order. He coldly answered that it is because we sat outside. The entire Cafe was empty and he could see that we sat here because of special situation. Even after we told him that we didn't know and we didn't expect to spend so much on coffee - he insisted to get this much. It's so different from India, where even in simple places they would try to give you smthing extra for free or Russia, where owner of Cafe would even give complementary coffe since you have become friendly or if they know it's your last visit here and they just want to be nice to you. I remember in Turkey I ordered tea and owner of the shop kept on sending complementary sweets. Even though I didn't want to eat sugar, they insisted that it's free and refused to get payment for them.....in Italy it feels like anyone is trying to pull out a bit extra from you no matter how poor or rich they are.

    I am in Italy right now, and I had a guy in Venice literally grab my hand and pry it open to put bird feed in it to feed the pigeons, and then more again after I dumped it out. Some people are relentless! Another commenter also said this and I completely agree, you have to just say a firm "No," not even "No thank you," because any signs of hesitation or even politeness will only encourage them more. I feel like a rude person not even acknowledging people, but unless you want to get hassled you have to 😕

    sadly this applies to Italy, Spain, France as the top (worst) in Europe for scams. Note the scammers (mostly not locals) only approach tourists. So ideally try to dress and act and look like a local. I know in some cases it is impossible but for those who can look like locals please do. In any case, push scammers away and walk on, dont stop, dont slow down, dont accept anything, dont give them anything, dont sign anything, a semi-angry look may also help, do not try to be polite with them, they are trying to rip you off or rob you.

In Italy it is illegal to buy anything without having a receipt and you should ask for it if they don't issue one for you. It just means they won't be paying taxes on that already overpriced Coke of 9Euros.

This does not solve the problem but it is a significant fact that dilutes the responsibility of true Roman citizens, but increases the responsibility of the Italian government for the deplorable policies of uncontrolled reception of foreign citizens.

    I just went to Italy two months ago and when my family was getting a bus to go too our apartment a creepy dude came up to my family and asked if we needed a ride and we said no thank u and we walk away and then he kept on following us and asking us are u sure?? Over and over again. do not trust anyone without any proof to take u on a ride..... also one time me and my family were standing on the sidewalk and this random dude came up to me and my twin sister mind u we are 13 and he came up and lightly brush his hand against me and my sister bum I did not notice it at first and then when he walked away I realized how close he was to us and me and my sister said something just touched my bum so we realized it was him. just be mindful fur some men there. not all of them are like this just be ready to defend yourself if u fall in this situation but besides this it was an amazing experience!!

    There's a little update regarding the gladiators and legionaries next to the Colliseum. I was in Rome from May 16 to May 22 2022 (visiting my parents who lived in this city for 3 months). We had a guided tour through the Anfitheatro Flavio and the Foro Romano by a serious and highly engaged and excellent guide from a reliable guide service. Since I already had been to Roma in 2004, I wondered where they are since in my 2022 stay, I never saw them in 2022. I asked our German language guide where they are. She explained that it's now forbidden to masquerade as such and so, they were nowhere to be seen. And the guys handing you stuff remained. I and my parents (in the Rome 2022 vacation) completely ignored them. Now, they also sell power banks, surely of the cheapest and worst quality. Otherwise a great video and my overall impression of Rome was great. I hope to return to Rome at a day in the future.

    It takes nerves of steel but I simply never acknowledge the people who approach on the street even when they try to assert themselves into the conversation with friendly questions. Works very well when they approach your table at dinner too. Don’t look and don’t acknowledge just keep talking to the people in your party. They leave almost immediately. The second you acknowledge them, even with a “no” they get more persistent.

    I went to Rome recently with my family and the number of beggars and con artists on the streets is crazy. There’s the ones that look like ‘traditional beggars’; then there’s the men outside of the Colosseum and the Vatican that try to sell you water, selfie sticks, scarves; then you get guys giving you roses (one guy gave me a rose and then proceeded to tie a coloured bit of string round my wrist); and finally there’s the men who say ‘I like your shoes, where are you from?’ and chuck you a bracelet. This happened to us and we chucked them right back to him. What frustrates me is that these people give you things that you don’t want without telling you that they expect money in return. It needs to be illegal. We had lunch in Vatican City after visiting St Peters Basilica and I’m not kidding you we had about 7 beggars disturb us as we were eating. You just gotta tell them ‘NO’ firmly or they will keep hassling you.

    Beggars and conmen/hustlers are mostly different people. Many beggars are genuine. The hustlers are not. Beggars usually come up to people because no-one is helping them when they beg from the street. And you should be as polite to them as you would to anyone else. Hustlers can be distinguished by their 'enthusiasm' or upbeat greetings. And also that theyll often give you something, or act friendly, before pressuring you. Most genuine beggars are far too demoralised to put on an act after every previous rejection and the desperation they live with.

    I'm currently in Rome on my fourth day. The one thing that works on the rose and bracelet scammers are to completely ignore them. Don't look them in the eyes, don't even say "no thank you". Any form of attention gets you on their hook. Look away from them, and just walk past. Haven't had a single encounter with them because of this.

    For sure. No eye contact. Just keep walking. All they need is ONE SECOND to grab you and hook you in. Do not answer, do not even slow down. Usually I don't even feel sorry for the people who do get scammed and then they blame it on the city. So many people do zero research when they plan to travel, and that research includes how to protect yourself, how to get a ride from a legitimate taxi, which restaurants are rated high among locals and tourists. I can't count how many times I've read that people just like to go with the flow. Well, get ready to watch your money "flow" out of your wallet!

    There is no ground floor in the Colosseum. No Gladiators or displays /battles inside. The guys in the outfits don't work there and can't sell you a ticket or speed your entrance. They are there only for a photo op and expect a tip. Most attractions in Rome do have an express lane and reduced rates for groups (numbers vary). The queuing for groups is usually in a different location and require a blue-badge guide to accompany. The price of the guide brings the entrance price back up, but saves you lots of time.

We were harassed by sellers literally non stop as it was tourist season and we went to restaurants only for drinks in the tourist areas as we knew the food wasn’t authentic and pricey, and we got charged almost triple the cost for “sitting in”for any drink even non alcoholic. I wish I had a better experience of Rome but I must say your points are spot on for people who are unaware of tourist traps and scams, but unfortunately we were still caught up in one after being aware of so many. Would love to visit again to make up for my bad experience but definitely not a city to visit for those who are easily led on and more vulnerable

Do not speak to them because it gives them a clue as to where you are from with your language/ accent. Just ignore them. You must also protect yourself on busses and at the train stations. Sometimes people will try to assist you while purchasing your ticket. Firmly say no! Just be careful and have fun!

    most of the flower men are not italians, the same rules apply to any tourist city, any restaurant near a tourist site is a tourist trap!

    Yes and no. Sometimes locals will still go to SOME of those places (Sometimes just cos they wanna be seen 🙄 but SOMETIMES some of those places are actually good - here in Oz anyway - I can think of a couple of examples I've met friends for years). But yeah, away from the tourist track is usually best. Not sure about other countries but here in Oz we tend to have certain suburbs that are kinda gastronomic centres and if you're going out to dinner this is probably where you'll go

    I used an ATM inside Rome's main train station. When I got home, there were unauthorized cash withdraw from Sri Lanka. There must have been a skimmer on the ATM.

    Bummer. Always use a bank ATM--and one that has a machine INSIDE the bank, not on the oustide.

    @Dan They put entire false fronts on ATM's now. They fit perfectly over the old front and are made to look exactly like the machine they are covering, the bank logo and all. The only way to tell now is there's an unusually deep gap between the screen and the cover. Most people aren't astute enough to recognize that as a lot of screens are recessed to keep people from looking over your shoulder. There are no parts now to wiggle and see if they are loose. The only way to avoid those spoofed machines is to use the ones that are inside a bank secure lobby. Never use an ATM in a major transportation center like an airport or train station, or one that's on the street or pub.

    Informative video thanks, especially with video examples which isn't very common in videos like these. Can't believe how rude these people are. I also have to agree with what some say in that a person needs to be firm. No need to cause a scene, but do say in a slightly raised firm voice 'No!'. Anything they force on you try to hand back, if they don't take it then just drop it.They clearly don't respect when someone is polite to them, and it'd cut down them trying again and again with you. It's all pretty sad, but where there's crowds there'll be someone trying to get your money.

    It’s probably better than saying no is to not say anything and walking away.

    I got scam at the Rome airport. Someone pretended to work there and people were lining up. He told me the trains to Rome were sold out and sold me shuttle van ticket. The ticket was a hand written note. I checked the vending machine and the trains were not sold out. For the same price, I could have got to Rome in a first class train, instead of a crowded mini-van.

    Usually these mini van are cheaper than the train and can take less time if you are not going to Ostiense or Termini. Anyway, I advise to take the regular taxi, the white one, and share the fare with other passengers.
