Landed in Rome? You don't need to be rich to enjoy Italy's capital. Rome is a beautiful, big open door museum where you can find interesting things to do on the cheap. If you are a frugal traveller, let me show you a few things you can do in the Eternal City.
Your wish comes true
If you have seen any movie set in Rome, you are probably already familiar with Rome's largest and most popular fountain: La Fontana di Trevi. There is a long-standing tradition of throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain. Why? Throw one, and you will return to Rome. A second coin will lead to a new romance, while a third coin means marriage! At least this is what the legend says...
The oldest lie detector
Another popular legend says that the Mouth of Truth will bite your hand if you lie. In the past, jealous husbands tested their wives' faithfulness and suspected criminals had trials there. If you have your hand in the Bocca, say the truth and avoid the pain!
A good view of Rome (and get fit!)
The Scalinata di Spagna (Spanish steps) was named after the Spanish Embassy and it is a great chance to get fit for free in a beautiful environment. Scale the steps to the top and get a wonderful view of the capital. There are also many designer shops and bars.
Just walk
Via del Corso is the perfect place to enjoy a walk in a suggestive street. Plus, this is THE shopping area. According to the depth of your wallet, you will be able to buy almost any kind of stuff.
Eat the tradition
Have an inexpensive dinner in Testaccio neighbourhood. This is a traditional working class area with lots of things to do on the cheap. Have you ever tried innards? No, really? Go to Agustarello restaurant and enjoy your Roman meal.
Have a chat
Many Italian people want to improve their English, so why don't you say "Hi" and start a conversation with a Roman? The response will be amazing, guaranteed. You may even learn a little Italian, or find the love of your life!
Don't get ripped off
Don't forget: before getting from the airport to the city, be aware that many cab drivers charge tourists exorbitant fees without any reason. Rome airport transfers can be tricky: always ask for a fixed rate and a good service.
